Hip-hop star Lil Wayne is reportedly critical after suffering multiple seizures following a suspected Sizzurp binge post his release from the hospital earlier this week.

Several conflicting reports emerged about the rapper's health with TMZ claiming that Wayne, 30, was in critical condition and in the ICU. The website said that Wayne's mother was flying to Los Angeles to be with her son.

They said that the rapper's seizures were so severe he had to be put in restraints as he was shaking uncontrollably.

The 'Lollipop' hitmaker was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA on Tuesday night after suffering multiple seizures. He was released on Wednesday but just hours later one of his bodyguards found him unconscious and he was rushed back to the hospital.
 

TMZ also claimed that Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.

Sizzurp is a concoction of cough syrup with sugary sodas and hard candies.

But according to Us magazine, Wayne's health condition was being exaggerated and tweet by the rapper tried to dispel such reports, saying, "I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.
