While the award multi-platinum rapper was said to be on 'life support' and in a critical condition after suffering from uncontrollable seizures he tweeted to fans late Friday saying he was alright.

He wrote: 'I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.'

Friends still packed the waiting room of the hospital on Friday night including rapper Drake.

Drake was seen leaving the hospital shortly after Wezzy tweeted he was doing fine in spite of TMZ's reports.

His friend and president of the rapper's Young Money record label, Mack Maine refuted TMZ's story tweeting just prior to Lil Wayne.

'Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon.'

He added: 'We will be releasing an official statement shortly but don't believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe...that's false!!'

TMZ had reported the 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

The website claimed that the rapper - who's real name is Dwayne Michael Carter - was in critical condition after being placed in an induced coma, reportedly breathing through tubes.

The website initially reported the platinum performance artist was being given his last rites and his family were at his hospital bedside and saying their goodbyes

However, TMZ later removed any reference Dwayne being given his last rights saying instead his mother is flying into Los Angeles to make a decision on whether to continue with life support.

The rapper was meant to have fallen ill after suffering multiple seizures whilst shooting Nicki Minaj's new single, High School on Tuesday.

The rapper was released the following day on Wednesday.

TMZ reported later that day one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious and while he was rushed to Ceders Sinai Hospital doctors were unable to stabilse the rapper.

TMZ reported: 'Sources say there's evidence Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.'

This is not the first time the singer has suffered from seizures.

Back in October, Wayne was onboard a flight from Texas to LAX when he started to convulse.

The flight was immediately diverted to Louisiana where he was admitted to hospital.

TMZ reported at the time that he was released after receiving treatment and recovered at his mother's house.

The rapper later tweeted to his fans, assuring them that he was doing well.

'Thanx for all the prayers! I am good,' he wrote on the social networking site.

Just hours prior to the incident, the star's private jet was also forced to make an emergency landing in Texas when he suffered from the same health scare.

After being taken to a local Texan hospital, a spokesman for the rapper insisted he was only treated for a severe migraine and dehydration.

Look bro, the things of the world never run away. There are bigger things in life than one day of stupid stuff. One of those better things are tomorrow. Wish you the best. Regardless, you are still an entertainer to those who love your music and a human being to those with souls. Get well, and change the habits. Not worth it.
