Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne gave his fans an update after his crazy seizure scare a week ago, saying he's "more than good" and getting ready to hit the road again.

He thanked fans for their well-wishes and sad he's looking forward to getting back to performing live. The rapper said, in eloquent Weezy fashion:

"I just wanna say thanks to y'all for all your prayers and concerns and all that. I swear to God I felt that love when I was laid up in that motherf--ker hospital bed."

"I want all of y'all to know that I'm good ... more than good."

Lil Wayne Near-Death Reenactment

Lil Wayne is no longer a resident of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood, Calif. The rapper has officially been released after days in the ICU.

The 30-year-old rapper spent six days in the hospital in the past week, most of it in critical condition and intensive care after suffering multiple seizures.

It appears that an overdose of sizzurp cause the episode(s).

Friday night, fans feared the worst as reports indicated Lil Wayne was being read his last rites, placed into a coma and breathing only through tubes.

The star's camp denied the severity of the whole situation, and sure enough, he was upgraded to stable condition Monday, and now he's outta there.

Sources say he's weak still, but a lot better after stabilizing.

Weezy plans on laying low until he makes a full recovery. Maybe he and Lindsay Lohan can go to rehab together. Both could clearly use a little assistance.

Lil Wayne has been upgraded to stable condition and is even able to eat on his own now, according to sources at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai hospital.

The rapper is out of the Intensive Care Unit for the first time in days after doctors determined his condition has stabilized following multiple seizures.

Lil Wayne has moved into a regular room and no longer needs intense, 24/7 treatment to ensure he'll make it, as he did after his apparent sizzurp overdose.

Lil Wayne is still hospitalized and in rough shape, despite the assurances from his camp that reports of his medical scare Friday were greatly exaggerated.

Two days after being admitted to L.A..'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for seizures, Weezy was rushed back there Friday after a suspected drug overdose.

The 30-year-old has remained there ever since.

While Wayne's posse denied that his condition was as dire as TMZ initially reported - there was talk of the rapper being read his last rites, breathing through tubes and being placed into an induced coma - Weezy hasn't improved enough to be moved out of the ICU.

"I don't mean to bring everybody down, but right now I think I want to just ask something of you guys," the R&B singer began at the Austin, Tex., event.
