Lil Wayne is recovering after being hospitalized for seizures.
TMZ initially reported that Wayne was in critical condition.
The 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars Sinai Tuesday. He was released the next day but was taken to the hospital again after being found unconscious in his room, TMZ reported. According to TMZ, Wayne had been placed in an induced coma.
