Lil Wayne was hospitalized in Omaha, NE after his private plane made two emergency landings, according to Buzzfeed. Local station KETV reports the rapper suffered a seizure in the air while traveling from Milwaukee to California, causing his plane to divert to Omaha. The rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, will spend at least one night in a local hospital.
Omaha fire department officials entered the rapper’s plane at approximately 3 p.m. local time, though the rapper initially refused any medical treatment. The plane then took off and subsequently made contact with officials saying that the rapper continued to have medical issues. According to KETV, the plane circled back and returned to the airport, where Carter was taken to the emergency room of CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center. The news was first reported by TMZ.
