Lil Wayne -- who has a history of seizures -- was hospitalized last week. A person close to his camp who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation told The Associated Press that a seizure was the cause of his hospitalization.

The rapper has had a lot of success in the music world, winning best rap album for "Tha Carter III" at the 2008 Grammy Awards; he scored three more Grammys the following year.

In September, Lil Wayne topped Elvis Presley's record as the male with the most entries on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
