Few details about his medical condition were made public.On Monday night, Mack Maine, the president of Wayne's label, Young Money, thanked the hospital."@LilTunechi has been officially been released and is headed home...God is great," he tweeted.Lil Tunechi is Lil Wayne's nickname, as well as his Twitter handle.An online report that Lil Wayne was near death and on life support Friday cause panic among his fans and caused Twitter to light up with messages of concern."I'm good everybody," the rapper tweeted Friday evening, helping defuse the concerns. "Thnx for the prayers and love."Young Money publicist Sarah Cunningham acknowledged Friday that Lil Wayne had had a seizure, but members of the New Orleans artist's camp have shot down reports that he was near death."Dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe ... that's false!!" Maine tweeted Friday night.Instead of ighting for his life, Lil Wayne was watching the Syracuse University Orange play the Georgetown Hoyas in the Big East men's basketball tournament, he said.Born Dwayne Carter, Lil Wayne is one of the rap world's most successful artists.He won best rap album for "Tha Carter III" at the 2008 Grammy awards and took home three more Grammys the next year.Beyond winning over critics, he's also been a commercial success.In September, Billboard reported the rapper had tallied 109 hits on its Hot 100, surpassing the record previously held by Elvis Presley.But he's also run into trouble outside the studio and off stage.Lil Wayne was arrested in 2007 outside New York City's Beacon Theater after police said they found a .40-caliber pistol on his tour bus.
