Singer Chris Brown was at the centre of a medical emergency in the early hours of Friday (09Aug13) after allegedly suffering a seizure in a Hollywood recording studio.

Editors at Tmz.com report officials at the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a 911 call placed from the Record Plant studios at around 1am local time amid claims the R&B star was experiencing health troubles.

However, when paramedics arrived on the scene, Brown is said to have refused treatment and did not want to be transported to a local hospital for a check-up.

Further details about Friday's incident were unavailable as Wenn went to press, although Tmz.com alleges the Kiss Kiss hitmaker suffered from seizures as a child.

News of Brown's purported health issues emerges just months after rapper Lil Wayne revealed he is epileptic following a number of hospitalisations to treat seizures.
