Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,

Lil WayneLil Wayne is taking medication after two seizure-like incidents last month.

The "Lollipop" rapper was taken ill on a flight in October which saw his private jet forced to make an emergency landing in Texas where he was then rushed to hospital and he has reportedly been prescribed drugs to prevent another episode.

According to gossip website TMZ, during a recent interview with MTV, the rapper revealed the new medication was responsible for his profuse sweating. "Please let them know that I have an air unit, but because of the sound, they don't want the air on, so it's super hot in here ... I don't want y'all to think I'm on nothing, man. I'm on seizure medicine. That's all," he said.

Lil WayneLil Wayne has been banned from flying by his doctor. The "Lollipop" rapper is under strict instructions not to board any jets for the time being after two seizure-like incidents last week on back-to-back flights, which led to him being hospitalized, but he is now resting at his mother's home.

Sources close to Wayne told TMZ the 30-year-old rapper - whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. - has been ordered to rest until at least next week, so he's not allowed to work on his forthcoming 10th album I Am Not a Human Being II nor board any aircraft.

Wayne has been checked by nurses on a regular basis since being released from hospital and he is due to return to his Miami home shortly via a luxury bus.

The rapper - who has described his medical scare as a "life-changing event" and an "eye-opener" - suffered "seizure-like symptoms" on a flight last Thursday, which saw his private jet forced to make an emergency landing in Texas.
