Lil Wayne suffered two minor seizures during a flight that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Omaha, a rep said.
The rapper and his entourage were flying from Milwaukee to California when he blacked out from an apparent seizure, TMZ reported Monday.
Weezy, 33, allegedly refused treatment when paramedics arrived to the airport.
The plane took off, but was forced to return when Wayne suffered a second seizure and was taken to CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center.
Omaha TV station KETV captured video footage of paramedics carrying a person on a stretcher from a plane to an ambulance.
“Under the guidance of his own doctors, he is now in stable condition and good spirits. He thanks his fans for their everlasting support, prayers and well wishes,” the rapper’s spokesman Derek Sherron said in a statement.

This isn’t the first time Wayne has suffered an epileptic fit.
In 2013, Wayne, born Dwayne Carter Jr., was hospitalized several times after suffering from seizures believed to be brought on by drinking “sizzurp,” a drink that combines soda with prescription cough syrup.
He later revealed a epilepsy condition that was diagnosed in childhood.
“This wasn’t my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh … I have had a bunch of seizures, you just never hear about them,” he told Power 106’s DJ Felli Fel at the time.
The “Lollipop” singer is slated to appear in concert Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.
