Lil Wayne was checking out a local skateboard park in St. Louis on Saturday and wound up in a hospital emergency room after crashing hard.
Accompanied by several members of his entourage, Wayne was transported to an area hospital where he received nine stitches over his left eye.
DePaul Health Center spokeswoman Jamie Newell, citing privacy laws, would not confirm that the singer had been treated and released the same day.
The 28-year-old rapper was in the area to perform at an outdoor gig at the Verizon Amphitheatre on Sunday.
Lil Wayne took to his Twitter page this morning to discuss the “gnarly” injury:
