Y@ Speak: The time Lil Wayne almost died

Posted by Lauren LaBorde on Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 12:18 PM

I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.
— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) March 16, 2013

We thought we lost ya for a second, Weezy: on Friday New Orleans' prodigal son was hospitalized for the second time that week following a seizure. Then gossip "news outlet" TNZ incorrectly reported that he was receiving last rites, and it seemed maybe our Martian had embarked on his journey to that big skate park in the sky. But everything's OK (for now), and I'd like to remind Weezy that Gambit still has several of his Big Easy Awards in our possession (currently using one as a paper weight). Also this week: we got a new pope, we're getting an H&M, New Orleans meets SXSW and Super Sunday.
