1. Lil Wayne Reveals He Is An Epileptic
Wayne spoke with DJ Felli Fel on Power 106 in L.A. to open up about his health scare. Weezy explained that he is an epileptic. He continued to say he’s prone to seizures, and his recent hospitalization was due to him being too overworked. He also commented on TMZ’s inconsistent reporting.

2. Waka Flocka Flame Wants to Work With Miley Cyrus
Flocka isn’t shy to admit he will work with anyone. Earlier this week, he talked about his “real slick crush” on the former Disney star, and even pitched the song he wanted to get her on. We’re not sure when it will happen, but a Flocka and Miley cut could be kind of hot.

3. Rick Ross Denies “U.O.E.N.O.” Lyric Was in Connection to Rape
Ross was under some heat over a lyric that suggests date rape. When talking to New Orleans radio station Q93, he denied the line’s actual meaning. He said listeners misinterpreted the lyric and stated he doesn’t condone rape. Despite Rozay's claims, there is currently a petition circulating by Change.org for Rozay to apologize.
