Lil Wayne tweeted to say he is 'good' despite it being said he was dying and being read his last rights.

TMZ had reported the rapper was on his death bed with friends and family saying their last goodbyes to the star.

I'm fine: Lil Wayne tweeted he was alright on Friday despite once again being hospitalised after suffering from seizures

While the award multi-platinum rapper was said to be on 'life support' and in a critical condition after suffering from uncontrollable seizures he tweeted to fans late Friday saying he was alright.

He wrote: 'I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.'

His friend and president of the rapper's Young Money record label, Mack Maine refuted TMZ's story tweeting just prior to Lil Wayne.

'Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon.'

He added: 'We will be releasing an official statement shortly but don't believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe...that's false!!'

TMZ had reported the 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

The website claimed that the rapper - who's real name is Dwayne Michael Carter - was in critical condition after being placed in an induced coma, reportedly breathing through tubes.

The website initially reported the platinum performance artist was being given his last rites and his family were at his hospital bedside and saying their goodbyes

However, TMZ later removed any reference Dwayne being given his last rights saying instead his mother is flying into Los Angeles to make a decision on whether to continue with life support.

The rapper was meant to have fallen ill after suffering multiple seizures whilst shooting Nicki Minaj's new single, High School on Tuesday.

The rapper was released the following day on Wednesday.

TMZ reported later that day one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious and while he was rushed to Ceders Sinai Hospital doctors were unable to stabilse the rapper.

Unstable: TMZ still maintains the rapper is in a critical condition

TMZ reported: 'Sources say there's evidence Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.'

This is not the first time the singer has suffered from seizures.

Back in October, Wayne was onboard a flight from Texas to LAX when he started to convulse.

The flight was immediately diverted to Louisiana where he was admitted to hospital.

TMZ reported at the time that he was released after receiving treatment and recovered at his mother's house.

The rapper later tweeted to his fans, assuring them that he was doing well.

'Thanx for all the prayers! I am good,' he wrote on the social networking site.

Just hours prior to the incident, the star's private jet was also forced to make an emergency landing in Texas when he suffered from the same health scare.

After being taken to a local Texan hospital, a spokesman for the rapper insisted he was only treated for a severe migraine and dehydration.
