The speculation appears to stem from unverified online posts and echoes of Wayne’s well-documented past health issues, particularly his battles with epilepsy and seizures. The 43-year-old rapper has been hospitalized multiple times over the years for seizure episodes, including notable incidents in 2013, 2016, and 2017, often linked to stress, overwork, or medication non-compliance.
Most recently, in late October 2025, Wayne missed a high-profile Cash Money vs. No Limit Verzuz battle at ComplexCon in Las Vegas due to illness, as confirmed by fellow Hot Boys member B.G. on The Breakfast Club. B.G. stated Wayne “wasn’t feeling good” and had to seek medical attention, also canceling a concert that night. Wayne reportedly recovered quickly and resumed activities.
