Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne, who has battled a serious health condition in recent months, says he can't feel seizures come on and doesn't feel anything when they do.

The rap star was hospitalized after an epileptic seizure episode that nearly killed him for a week this March, and then again for a day in late April.

How does it keep happening? For one thing, he doesn't see it coming at all.

Weezy opened up to MTV's RapFix Live on Wednesday about it, saying:

"I go to sleep and wake up in the hospital. I don't feel anything."

Trick Daddy and Lil Wayne are not big fans of each other, but Weezy's friend mentor Birdman has reportedly stepped in to quash this beef for good.

Lil Wayne went ballistic at a strip club last month after a dude in Trick's posse allegedly flicked a cigarette into the rapper's dreads at a Miami strip club.

Trick Daddy is bitter, claiming Tunechi got him blackballed from all the good strip clubs in Miami (really), leaving him to frequent butterface joints (really).

Moreover, Trick insists he didn't even do anything to Weezy.

Lil Wayne will no longer be representing Mountain Dew.

PepsiCo cut ties with its popular pitchman Friday over his controversial lyric mentioning 1950s civil rights martyr Emmett Till in the crudest of ways.

"Beat that pu--y up like Emmett Till," the 30-year-old rapped on Future's "Karate Chop" remix, which was later pulled due to the offensive reference.

Weezy recently apologized for (well, acknowledged) the controversy in a letter to Emmett Till's family, but that apparently did not go far enough.

PepsiCo released a statement asserting that Weezy's "offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand."

Lil Wayne sent a letter of apology to the family of Emmett Till for disparaging his name in a rap lyric, but was the apology sufficient? Or even an apology?

Lil Wayne's "Karate Chop" lyrics contained a degrading reference to the teen, whose 1955 murder became a watershed moment for the civil rights movement.

"It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist's (Future's) song has deeply offended your family," Wayne wrote in the letter.

Said the rapper, who suffered another seizure this week in L.A., "As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure."

Lil Wayne was hospitalized again for a seizure last night.

According to TMZ, the 30-year-old was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. late Tuesday by his bodyguards after the latest of many recent episodes.

He suffered a single seizure, was treated and released.

Cedars-Sinai M.C. was the site of Lil Wayne's near-death seizure back in March after he suffered multiple severe seizures that almost took his life.

The rapper spent six days in the ICU.

Wayne later explained that he's an epileptic, has had these seizures since he was a kid and is totally fine. He Tweeted that he's okay today, too:

Hopefully, he takes precautions so that will truly be the case. Lil Tunechi may want to start paying closer attention to his medication and lifestyle.

Lil Wayne is laughing at reports that he's in dire straits following a $3.4 million judgment against him ... 'cause frankly, that's just a drop in the bucket.

The judgment stems from Weezy suing Quincy Jones III over a documentary.

QJIII sued back, claiming Wayne screwed him out of profits from the film about the rapper by Tunechi's frivolous suit. A California jury saw it Quincy's way.

As a result, LW was hit with a seven-figure judgment ... but it ain't no thing.
