TMZ is actually pretty reputable when it comes to things like this, i.e. MJ's death. Not sure where the hate is coming from.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yeah. I don't like TMZ but they are nigh on always on the money about deaths. Sometimes to a prescient degree

time for the "TMZ reporters murder celebrities" slasher flick

 

[FStop7]

i hope Mack Maine is right. but i remember when MJ died and TMZ was all over it. TMZ is all over everything.

They're wrong a lot, too.

IMO it's either that they're waiting for his mom to get there and decide what to do or he really is OK.

 

[K.Sabot]

Gonna go ahead and say RIP until I hear otherwise and make some popcorn in the meantime.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

What a bunch of idiots.

 

[Rapstah]

If he's actually dying I don't get at all why the people who know him would act like this. Vice versa for TMZ if he's okay.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Another update on TMZ.

Wayne's mother is currently on a plane flying to Los Angeles -- and we're told all major decisions about Wayne's health (including the decision to discontinue life support) will not be made until she arrives.

Edit: Beaten/didn't see other post.

 

[JaseMath]

So last rites are being prepped...but maybe he's okay...? I don't even.

 

[Mariolee]

He didn't dispute the 'hospitalized' part of the story, which is an important detail.

But the severity of his injury and seizures is an equally important factor, and TMZ seems to have exaggerated a bit. We'll see soon, I suppose.

 

[Guevara]

Despicable as they may be, TMZ is usually right. Weren't they first with the MJ news? I swear they pay off hospital staff.

 

[criesofthepast]

How convenient a week before new album hits. TMZ prob got that directly from his camp. I don't think they'd publish that without a solid source. I don't go defending these gossip rags but they've been pretty right about stuff in the past.

 

[Bombadil]

The drama continues.

Edit: What would the priest who reads Wayne his rights be thinking?

 

[sky]

Lil Waynes death potentially CG, made with Fox Engine.

I lolled. Almost spit out my sizzurp.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

What a bunch of idiots.

Who?

 

[Burt]

I read "sizzurp" and initially thought it was some sort of energy drink. I had a friend that drank 24 red bulls before 11 am and had something similar happen to him. Blacked out, had a seizure, and was unconscious for 36 hours.

 

[FourMyle]

Who to believe..

 

[def sim]

I have no idea what's going on.

 

[U2NUMB]

Alright young man.. we call this a second chance. Better get some serious help with what you put in your body. I wish you well.

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

I actually heard about this last night/early this morning. Didn't even wanna post the topic seeing as just about everyone hates the guy and all.

 

[illmatic19]

Birdman just tweeted that he's alright. TMZ overplayed this whole situation. I trust Birdman (Wayne's "dad") over TMZ.

 

[Dartastic]

What the fuck?

 

[D23]

tmz page is down?

 

[Joel Was Right]

What's baffling is TMZ continues to update their story with further info to suggest he is dying, and yet we have Twitter (his close friends and now seemingly his mother) saying otherwise.

It's way worse than a red bull
But lol at 24, didnt Tiesto do this too?

 

[Cubsfan23]

family and friends are in denial...

 

[equap]

TMZ have a lot of spies!!!!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Not on any major news sites?

Wtf what crazy people do this?

I don't know. We'll see soon enough.

 

[K.Sabot]

They're much slower at this sort of stuff.

Most definitely

 

[captmcblack]

Wait, so is he dead or not dead?

If he's not dead, I hope he just retires from the game altogether. This shit is clearly going to kill him.

 

[commedieu]

Right, and I can't imagine TMZ just going on bullshit information like this? Even if its from Wayne manor, they probably have some dude in a hazardous bin inside of his room with a Go-Pro.

 

[Kastrioti]

This is a brilliant marketing stunt Birdman and TMZ put together. Fucking brilliant.

 

[Guevara]

family and friends are in denial...

Or TMZ is suicidal.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I hate that I'm furiously refreshing this page for updates.

I've been pulled into the web.

I CAN'T GET OUT

 

[illmatic19]

TMZ is awful. They have to be seeing these tweets saying he's alright but they aren't updating their story yet.

 

[Hot Coldman]

BIRDMAN PLEASE TWEET IF LIL WAYNE HAS HIS SHINE ON

WE MUST KNOW

 

[Fenderputty]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, etc., etc.

I think tmz has been right more often than a broken clock.

 

[Loomba]

Need some clarification, I have no idea what's happening..

 

[Alligatorjandro]

So did he died?

 

[Goron2000]

I thought he was clean and doing his skateboard thing?

 

[Omega]

This is a brilliant marketing stunk Birdman and TMZ put together. Fucking brilliant.

faking death isnt brilliant ever

 

[charsace]

I thought he kicked the addiction? Didn't know he's still a fiend for that shit.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Damn it I heard about this too late. Didn't get to check his wikipedia page before it was locked.

 

[Burt]

Wtf what crazy people do this?

It was an "experiment".

What's crazier is that he wasn't smart enough to sue. Doesn't say you can't pound that shit on the can. If someone can get millions for hot drive-through coffee, he definitely passed up on some free money.

 

[Kusagari]

I think Birdman's pigeons brought Wayne back to life.

 

[Wynnebeck]

I hope he isn't dying. I was glad to see he was cleaning up his act since he has children.

 

[el retorno]

If he's OK I hope his friends get him off that crap. It was obvious he had a problem when that Documentary came out.

 

[Bombadil]

I wonder how Ja feels about all this.

Where's Ja!?
