Rapper Lil Wayne has been hospitalised after reportedly suffering seizure-like symptoms during a flight on Thursday (25Oct12).

The hip-hop star fell suddenly ill while travelling in his private jet, prompting the pilot to make an emergency landing in Texas.

The Lollipop hitmaker was transported to a local hospital, where he received treatment for several hours.

He was reportedly discharged around 6pm local time and is now said to be "doing better", reports Tmz.com.
