Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon. #love

Wait, what?

Edit: I just checked that guy's twitter account and I didn't see that message there. Is this supposed to be a callback to the Muhammad Ali thing not too long ago?

 

[Seance]

My heart bleeds.

 

[BigJonsson]

Did he really almost die or was this the usual fake celeb dying crap?

 

[Nobility]

Wow, can't believe he's deteriorating this fast.

 

[Wazzy]

Woah what? This is awful..

 

[billy beane]

Alright, what the fuck is going on?

 

[LightOfTruth]

lmao TMZ

 

[Battersea Power Station]

I gotta pity this dude. I mean, I'm jealous of the crazy lifestyles he and the rest of Young Money can afford. But he was just, what? 15? 16? when Baby messed him up.

 

[FStop7]

I hope Wayne pulls through and that Ross (who's also had problems with seizures) looks at this as a warning for his own health, too.

 

[(._.)]

he was ODing on drugs after being sent home from the hospital

 

[Halcyon]

I've always hated lil wayne in all areas that I can think about hating someone whom I don't know.


That being said I feel bad about this and wish he somehow makes it through.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

I thought only former QB Raider JaMarcus Russel drank that stuff.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Damn, dude. So sad.

EDIT-DAMN IT, TMZ.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I hope he's ok and his family is doing well but the main reason I want him to live is so that as a hip hop fan, I don't have to live in a world where I walk past RIP murals depicting Wayne, 2pac, and Biggie in the clouds.

 

[SillyEskimo]

RIP Syracuse

What the fuck. If this is fake...

 

[Carlbeego]

Doesn't he have a CD coming out soon?

I'm just saying.

Wait, what?!

 

[ponpo]

Sucky but come on, Sizzurp binge? Saw what happened to DJ Screw, ease up on that stuff.

 

[BobLoblaw]

I'm gonna refrain from any of my usual criticisms of the guy and hope everything works out ok for him.

 

[kassatsu]

So yes or no? I hate twitter sometimes.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Which is it? Either he's alive and well or about to die

 

[enzo_gt]

The video I linked in OP has him discussing all the bad influences in his life that led to all the decisions he made like the sizzurp and stuff, and the bad influence he may have. It's a different perspective on Wayne, I suggest folks watch it if they want some context.

 

[XenodudeX]

Wow Fuck TMZ. Is a okay or not?

 

[jmdajr]

What a crap way to go

 

[Amagon]

Not really a fan of his music but goddamn, this is some shitty news to hear.

 

[geebee]

So he was in a coma, and is now supposedly watching a game? I dont buy it. That twitter post was probably false.

 

[Pein]

if by messed up you mean made incredibly rich, Baby could come fuck my life up right now.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Seems to be the case. Conflicting reports so far. On one hand we have "last rites" and on the other he is just watching a football game.

 

[Cubsfan23]

seems weird for a fake story to have so many details

 

[D23]

wow this came out of nowhere

hope he pulls thru

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

So he is either near death or totally fine watching basketball.

Neat

 

[SolarPowered]

Promethazine and Codeine mixed with sprite.

First time I've heard of this. Man, people try the craziest stuff to get high these days.

Edit: Wut

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Lil Waynes death potentially CG, made with Fox Engine.

 

[Lambtron]

I kind of expected him to die at some point but man I wasn't prepared for this

 

[mohsinkhan]

WTF is up with that twitter post?

 

[Syph Medwes]

If this is fake, then that's just fucked. Seriously TMZ, I know you're a shitty site in the first place, but come on.

 

[smr00]

Grown ass men with kids need to consider their party selections. I hope, only for his children, that he pulls through.

This.

Not a fan of his music nor his terrible life style but i wouldn't wish death on him and hope he does pull through and quits the drugs.

 

[Hot Coldman]

errrrr what

it's TMZ, so maybe true...? I dunno

 

[Joel Was Right]

So he is either near death or totally fine watching basketball.

Neat

Baffling

 

[R3TRO]

Lil Waynes death potentially CG, made with Fox Engine.

HA!...Well played

 

[DY_nasty]

Hope something more certain comes along in the meantime

I hate being jerked around by feels

 

[equap]

im so confused

 

[BigJonsson]

It's not trending on twitter here so it must be BS

 

[Mutanthands]

So he is either near death or totally fine watching basketball.

Neat

TMZ usually reliable? I seem to recall that they are, but I'm not certain.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Hoping for the best, but isn't TMZ right most of the time?

 

[FourMyle]

TMZ post now says he's being given his last rites...

oh shit

 

[Evolution_1ne]

OMG the video in OP was unbearable, that shit made me cringe

 

[geeko]

I don't really care for his music, but it is sad to see a talented person basically kill themselves. Hope he pulls through.

 

[Skilotonn]

I actually saw exactly when the story broke, and just reading through how bad those seizures sounded to the point that they had to induce a coma sounded horrible, then when they updated to say the last rites were being given had me thinking "damn". Wow.

So then...

...what is this shit then?
