On Friday evening, TMZ reported that Lil Wayne had been given his last rights. Before this post, I didn't know what last rights were. That happens to be final communion where the priest comes and prays for you. After having Sizzrup (Purple Drink/Mixture of alcohol and anything else you can imagine) he had another seizure. For those who don't know, Lil Wayne has had reoccurring seizures these last couple years. TMZ claimed that this time it was serious. The hospital was unable to stop the seizure, and he was tied to the bed. They said he was surrounded by crying loved ones, and his mother was on the way down to Atlanta in order to make the final call on what happens to him. The story was enough to break your heart. I couldn't even fully enjoy my beloved Jayhawks doing work on Iowa State, because my heart just broke for him. 30 years old fighting for his life. I thought of Reginae and his three little boys. I thought of the baby mothers that have lived off of him so long, what will they do now? I started realizing how big his contribution to music has been. He's been on so many tracks and created two of the biggest artists of this last year. Drake and Nicki Minaj would be nothing without Lil Wayne. He has built the young money brand. Although it isn't the most respected, they've stuck to their musical instincts and profited from it. Drake said it best in 5 am in Toronto Everyone just sounds like Drake ft. Drake. Frank Ocean, The Weekend, Chris Browns new feel. Drake did it first. He sang and he rapped, and he didn't have to hit Mariah Carey notes because the message was what mattered. Without Lil Wayne, there would be no Drake. Nothing but respect for him and his accomplishments.
Well, you all know what comes next. Mack Maine came out on twitter and said :
"Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon. "
"We will be releasing an official statement shortly but dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe...that's false!!"
This was followed by some foul words about TMZ. It turns out Weezy was in the hospital, but it wasn't nearly as serious as the fabricated story TMZ made out. Despite these tweets that were retweeted by a lot of the young money family, TMZ continued to spread their insensitive lies. I have never been one to blame gossip sites, because they're just doing their job. If it's something they truly believe is true, I think it's alright. But if you know it's false, why would you put his extended family and friends through the stress of thinking something had happened to their loved one. Sure he's a public figure and he signed up for this. It still just seems unfair. As far as how bad his health is at this point, there's nothing better. But Birdman sent this tweet out to the fans :
"My son is feelin Good.will be home real soon.YMCMB"
Wayne himself tweeted shortly after that saying :
"I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love."
Lets hope he's alright, and there are many more hits to come. Moral of the story, TMZ does not always know what they're talking about.
