Lil Wayne has been hospitalized after reportedly suffering seizure-like symptoms during a flight on Thursday.

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

The Lollipop hit-maker 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.
