Rapper Lil Wayne is recovering in the hospital after suffering a seizure.

Earlier reports had stated that the Grammy-winning rapper was in a critical condition in a medically induce coma, but those rumors have since been denied.

“Wayne is alive and well,” his close friend and business partner Mack Maine tweeted.  “we will be releasing an official statement shortly, but dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe…that’s false.”

Neither Maine nor his rep have disclosed the medical issue with Wayne, 30, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.

TMZ had reported Wayne was rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills on March 12 after suffering multiple seizures.  By March 15, he was in the ICU in critical condition.  The site also said hew as in a medically induced coma hooked up to breathing tubes.
