A month and a half ago, Lil Wayne spent six days in a Los Angeles intensive care unit after suffering multiple seizures, and some of us were convinced he was about to die. This isn’t that. He’s OK. But Wayne has just been re-admitted to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, the same hospital where he spent all that ICU time, after suffering another seizure, as TMZ reports. Wayne has epilepsy, as he recently admitted on a radio show, and he’s been dealing with this since he was a kid. Still, get well soon.

And in other Wayne news, this hospitalization comes the same day as an open letter from Wayne, in which he apologized to the family of beaten-to-death civil rights leader Emmett Till. On Future’s “Karate Chop” remix, Wayne had promised to “beat the pussy up like Emmett Till,” and that didn’t go over well with the family. Read the letter below.

Dear Till Family:

As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.

It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist’s song has deeply offended your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.

Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner. I fully support Epic Record’s decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail. I will not be performing the lyrics that contain that reference live and have removed them from my catalogue.

I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy. As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.

Best,

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.
Lil Wayne
