Health Scare?: Chris Brown Suffered A Seizure?

As far as what is known, besides a propensity for beef with fans, law enforcement and a recent revelation that retirement is imminent, Chris Brown is in good health. 

However, apparently the R&B crooner may have suffered a seizure last night at a Hollywood studio. 

 TMZ reports: The L.A. City Fire Dept. rushed to a Hollywood recording studio early Friday morning, after getting a 911 call that Chris Brown had a seizure ... TMZ has learned. 

The call came from Record Plant recording studios in Hollywood at 1:09 AM. When EMTs arrived ... we're told Chris refused treatment and also refused to be transported to the hospital. We do not know if it was indeed a seizure, but we've learned Chris did suffer from seizures as a child. Story developing... Earlier this week, Brown was booked and released from jail on charged related to a hit and run incident. He also took to Twitter to reveal that his next album, X, may be his last.

Shut Down: Emmett Till's Family Does Not Consider Lil Wayne's Letter An Apology

Lil Wayne's week isn't going to too well. Yesterday, before we knew he had been treated and released from the hospital for yet another seizure, the YMCMB rapper revealed a letter he wrote addressed to Emmett Till's family. Weezy acknowledges the hurt his now infamous "Beat the pu--y up like Emmett Till" lyric on Future's "Karate Chop (Remix)" caused, but the Till family, like many others, have noted that he falls short of an actual apology.

Reports TMZ:

Nowhere in the letter did Wayne say he was sorry for what he did.

Visit Now, Airickca Gordon-Taylor -- Executive Director, Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation and Till Family Representative -- tells TMZ the family does not view the letter as a formal apology.

"While it's commendable that he has vowed to respect the legacy of Emmett Till and his memory to ‘not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in his music,' this statement falls short of an apology, as none is mentioned."

We're reaching out to Lil Wayne for comment -- stay tuned.  It is the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation that has vowed to urge Wayne's business partners, like Mountain Dew which is a product of Pepsico, to drop the rapper if he doesn't properly apologize.

Looks like a phone call, instead of a letter, may be in order, too.
