But fans were not alone. Wayne's colleagues were also on Weezy-watch, including IANHB2 feature artists, who hit Twitter to express their concern.

When Wayne was rushed to the hospital on March 12 after convulsing in seizures at a video shoot, he was released before heavy hand-wringing set in. Days later, it was reported that Wayne was readmitted and in the ICU. The news sent shock waves across the music world.

A tweet from the head of Wayne's YMCMB label, Mack Maine, attempted to give hope to fans who got wind of a report from TMZ that the rapper was being read his last rites (a report the site deleted without comment). Maine insisted that "Wayne will update you all soon" and that "We watching the Syracuse game."
