Lil' Wayne in Coma

On Friday March 15th the news came out the YMCMB rapper Lil' Wayne was found in a hospital in critical condition after he suffered a serious seizure that caused him to be in a coma. This story was completely blown up all over the media as TMZ reported that Wayne was in a near death situation and this news erupted all over the social media of Twitter and Facebook.  Dr. Michael Privitera, a professor and the director of the Epilepsy Center at the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute explained that these seizures could happened for various reasons. In Wayne's case it was believed that this occurred due to the overdose of strong prescription drugs like codeine, in which Wayne is notorious for abusing. Wayne has had previous incidents of a seizures in the past, but nothing serious has happened from them like the one from this weekend. YMCMB President Mack Maine was very angered with the media coverage of this story when it was reported his fellow rap artist was near death as the media blew up the story and exaggerated some of the facts. The prescription drug of codeine cough syrup has been popular in the rap industry as one of the drugs that has been abused and there have been concrete evidence of this drug having an extreme negative effect on the body as former rapper Pimp C and DJ Screw both died from the overdose of this drug. The main problem here is that these rappers know the negative affects of this drug such as seizures that could lead to death as it has with the prime examples of former rappers. If this incident to Wayne doesn't stop him from abusing this drug, then I don't know what will because as he was reported to be in a coma and near death it should show him the signs that death could be upon him if he continues this path. Hopefully this story will make a difference to some of the drug abusing that is going around the world and make a stop to people torturing their bodies like this.
