Current Event #2

The famous rapper Lil Wayne was finally released from the hospital after spending 6 days in the hospital his shocking seizure. Wayne was looked to be in critical condition and was sent to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the time but made a major recovery and is now looked to be in a stable condition.

What is looked to be a drug OD is the cause of his series of seizures. Cough Syrup or sizzurp a drink that Lil Wayne has been seen in public drinking multiple times is the drug used to trigger these seizures and cause harm to Lil Wayne's health.

I believe that if Lil Wayne continues to OD on cough syrup it is only gonna cause harm to his health and get worse for him. I think the only way for him to help himself is to go to Rehab.
