Lil Wayne would like to express his gratitude for your support.

The rapper took to Twitter on Tuesday, a day suffering two seizures and being rushed to the hospital, to break his silence his health scare.

In a brief message, he wrote, “Thanx for all the prayers!! I love y’all.”

Lil Wayne, whose real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was reportedly hospitalized in Omaha, Nebraska, on Monday after suffering the seizures, which caused his private jet to make two emergency landings.

Carter was en route from Milwaukee to California when the seizures occurred.

A spokesman for the Omaha Airport Authority confirmed to TheWrap on Monday that two landings for medical emergencies involving a private jet had taken place. The Omaha Fire Department responded to the first landing to check out the passenger, who refused treatment.

After refueling, the plane again took off, but landed a second time shortly thereafter due to a second medical emergency. On that occasion, the fire department transported the passenger to a hospital in downtown Omaha, the spokesman said.

The rapper from New Orleans has said in the past that he’s epileptic and has a history of seizures.

On Tuesday, Carter’s publicist said that he was in stable condition and had suffered “two minor seizures.”
