Lil Wayne says he is epileptic and has had seizures for years.

In an interview this week with Los Angeles radio station KPWR, the 30-year-old rapper said epilepsy caused his most recent health scare earlier this month, when he was rushed to a hospital.

Wayne said he had three back-to-back seizures.

“I’ve had a bunch of seizures; y’all just never hear about them,” the Grammy winner said, adding that he “could’ve died” and that the recent seizures were a result of “just plain stress, no rest, overworking myself.”

Wayne released his 10th album, I Am Not a Human Being II, this week and plans to embark on a 40-city tour in July with rappers T.I. and Future.
