Musician’s Medical Malady

candy 2[Blind Gossip] Let’s talk about what’s really causing this musician’s health problems. He says it’s a medical condition that he’s always had. The truth is that he is ingesting huge quantities of drugs that make it a hundred times worse.

He is going to die. There is no doubt that about that. He’s an addict, and he’s addicted to [substance] but he won’t stop. He uses every day. I would say he drinks about a half gallon a day (no exaggeration). He doesn’t want to stop. He says it’s part of the rap lifestyle. He won’t go to rehab. He is going to die.

Nothing jolly about that.

    Lotsa clues on this one!

    Lil Wayne?
    No, if a coma didn’t get him straight nothing will.
    Here is what I don’t understand. Rappers and other celebrities out there have tons of $. I can understand wanting that opiate glow, but codeine? Codeine is the worst of the worst. If you do enough to get high, it triggers a histimine response that is super itchy . Benedryl anyone?

    Lil Wayne. Sippin’ on that sizzurp. I thought the same thing qhen i heard about his latest seizure. Wayne’s gonna die young. Too bad. He got so many kids to support.

    Lil’ Wayne

    Optional: If he doesn’t make a move to rehab, his next move may be: a bright light, pallbearers, flowers, many sorrowful mourners crying over the six feet deep hole that he’ll be placed in, I wish that there was a pill that could be given. To an addict(s) that can cure them of addiction and make it so they wouldn’t want anything that’s an illegal substance, I guess I can keep wishing. ?

  24. SilentStar says

    Lil Wayne and his seizures and sizzurp addiction. He won’t get better until the root causes of his addiction are dealt with, and that will be difficult of he’s not ready and not even willing to examine them. I fully expect him to die in the next couple of years. I don’t wish that on anybody, but sadly it looks inevitable.

  28. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Lil Wayne aka Weezy…he ain’t going to rehab. Surprised that he is still alive. He has many children…get clean for them if he doesn’t care about himself. Sad!

    musician Lil Wayne addicted to lean

    Nope dont think he will go to rehab, jail didnt straighten him out..death might do it I am afraid.

    Musician: Lil Wayne

    [Optional] Do you think he will eventually go to rehab? No, he seriously (like most addicts) thinks he has in under control, but one time accident.

  36. wfreshie says

    the guy that had the epileptic seizure the other day, says he has had this condition for many years

    yes he is going to die

  38. adnerb79 says

    Little Wayne or Lil Wayne

    He will go out thinking he will stay a star but all anyone is left with is a dead body that shouldn’t of happened.

  43. BluntSavage says

    Lil Wayne although I would not call him a musician
    I hope so but he seems too careless and hopeless to admit he has a problem. Also, asking for help is not very gangsta, something that rappers desperately try to convey.

  49. Ylstacy says

    Lil Wayne

    He got kids to think about it’s a shame these rappers think that shit is cute but it’s only gonna mess them up in the end.

  52. crazycatlady says

    Lil Wayne … drinking lean (a drink made with codeine cough syrup, Sprite, and Jolly Ranchers) … hence the “jolly” reference.

  53. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Justin Bieber.

    The cough syrup stuff. Zizzurp or something like that.

    He won’t go to rehab until someone finds him in a coma or he’s close to death. He’s an entitled, ignorant, uneducated, idiot who has too many enablers and yes men.

  56. Laughing1 says

    The rapper who had some “emergency” landing of his plane a few days ago. Claims “seizures.”

  58. Schrodingers Catcall says

    Must be that Lean! Sippin’ on that sizzurp, none other than Weezy F. Baby himself the always irascible and precocious Lil Wayne.

  59. 4sixx2 says

    Weezy himself, Lil Wayne. Says he suffers from seizures, but he’s always sucking the sizzurp. No rehab; he’ll OD.

  63. SkySky1997 says

    I was between Zayn and JB but Zayn has a song called Truth so I’m going to go with Zayn Malik. I hope he eventually goes to rehab or else it would just be a waste of talent to see him fall

  67. GiveUpTheGossip says

    Lil Wayne.
    If he didn’t go to rehab after the last time he was on life support, he’s not going now. Drugs took Prince, they will take you. Prince’s passing was tragic, Lil Wayne won’t remembered for the fool he was.

  68. guessingnotknowing says

    Rapper Lil Wayne – hospitalized for two seizures. Must be substance-induced seizures, which is a real worry. Things are very serious when that happens.

  70. cecemartini says

    Lil Wayne
    Lean

    I hope he decides to clean up his life, at least for all those kids!

  73. scootypuffjr says

    Lil Wayne. The Jolly Ranchers photo and “jolly” are the giveaway. People put JRs in their sizzurp.

  74. whoisthatguy says

    Lil Wayne

    If he continues with that lifestyle, he won’t have an opportunity to go to rehab…

  76. nonsygirl says

    Musician: Lil Wayne

    [Optional] Do you think he will eventually go to rehab? Probably not.

  82. generalZod says

    i know little about the rap scene… next to nothing however, this sounds like lil wayne.
    he’s talked about having epilepsy his whole life.
    and doing all the drugs he’s doing is probably making it worse.

  88. Caneppa says

    This is lil Wayne. So sad. Someone in his crew may be able to convince him to go to rehab…hopefully.

  98. commonsense says

    Lil Wayne. “Jolly ” for jolly ranchers being part of the drug concoction of purple drank.

  101. bhakti says

    Lil Wayne and I believe he must want to die. He ignored the wake up call last time things got serious. No he won’t go to rehab, he will probably be another causality of 2016.

  104. lvsoxfan says

    Lil’ Wayne is back on the sizzurp.

    I don’t think he will go, he’s in denial and obviously so are those surrounding him. His death scare previously obviously wasn’t enough.

  108. Manda.Lea says

    Lil Wayne
    I think his odds of getting clean are higher than those of the young stars populating tabloids.

  112. Dollface says

    I’m thinking this must be Lil Wayne, whose plane was forced to emergency land in Nebraska because he was suffering from seizures. The jolly rancher picture and clue suggest the substance is sizzurp/purple drank, which he’s rapped about in the past.

  113. lisaNJ says

    Li’l Wayne — saying epilepsy is what’s causing his seizures, when it’s the sizzurp

    No, unfortunately, I think he will end up being just another sad statistic

  117. Katmandu says

    Sad. He’ll die with a smile on his face, though. That’s what he wants, let him.

  118. Ashey_Larry says

    Musician: Lil Wayne

    He’s addicted to “Lean”.

    He won’t go to rehab. Idiots like him will die before rehab becomes a logical solution. I would feel sorry for him, but considering his situation is self-created, I’m not going to.

  121. stolidog says

    Lil Wayne. Drinking that grape caugh syrum and jolly rancher (and vodka) concoction.
    He will definitely not go to rehab.

  131. PinkCrayon says

    Lil Wayne

    Optional: No. I doubt it. I see him dying from this in the future as well.

  132. emmalinasaurus says

    I don’t understand how this all became a thing. It’s cough medicine and jolly ranchers, right? So what about that combination is so addictive?

    Either way, lil wayne has had a lot of chances to give this up. He hasn’t and now appears he won’t. So his billion babies will be without a dad because of this. Some legacy to leave.

    • bubbasbbq says

      It is not just any cough syrup. This is prescription grade stuff that has codeine in it. They dissolve Candy into it to make it easier to gulp down.

    • nervous.peach says

      The cough syrup has codeine in it. Codiene is an opiate drug in the same family as morphine and heroin and fentanyl (one of the weaker forms though). Still highly addictive and can cause overdoses.

    • shellythomas says

      Sizzurp, as they call it, has codeine in it, which is a narcotic pain killer, and in high doses, of which a half gallon would certainly be, affects respiration and heart rate. Anyone can and wil die from abuse of this or any drug. You would simply stop breathing.

    • ToeKnee505 says

      It’s Activis cough syrup with promethazyne and codeine. Promethazyne calms thes nerves and chills you out and codeine (a very strong opiate) takes away pain and gives you a euphoric feeling much like heroin. The cough syrup is mixed with Sprite and jolly ranchers. So it’s like a carbonated wine cooler that makes every concern and worry (including death) go far far away.

    • Nowhereinparticular says

      It’s not just a cough syrup, it’s a cough syrup with codeine – an opioid. That is what is so addictive.

    • eryncuz88 says

      It’s prescription cough syrup, with codeine added. Still…sounds pretty gross no matter what!

    • ladysussex says

      In the southeast the recipe was Skittles, Arizona Iced Tea, and the cough syrup which contains some kind of narcotic/hypnotic effect. Not sure why it’s so popular in the hip hop community, but it has been, at least in ATL for quite a while now. (source:Work for the APD)

  143. xtine says

    Lil Wayne

    No. The close calls with the seizures aren’t enough to make him stop. Some people seem to have a death wish.

    • Katmandu says

      Here’s something… He won’t go to rehab because he has brain damage from drinking cough syrup and can’t make that kind of decision. (I saw an episode of ‘House’ where a guy who was a genius dropped out of society, drank cough syrup like water and his IQ just plummeted. He told Dr. House he didn’t want to quit it because he was married to a (normal) young woman who was “so far below me in the IQ department she might as well be another species”! (More to that story, but….)
