Prayers up though. God always pulls me through. Walking with faith.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: \u201cWayne literally kicked me and my daughter out on Mother&#8217;s Day today. I am just recovering from surgery. I am five weeks out from a whole mommy makeover. I can&#8217;t even lift boxes.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBut this man has his assistants coming to help kick us out today&#8230; and (he) broke up with me on Mother&#8217;s Day through text. And (my daughter\u2019s) birthday&#8217;s next weekend.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nShe also wrote she was \u201cunsure how to even process my emotions\u201d and asked followers for legal advice \u2013 noting: \u201cI know he has two girls being flown in today, and who knows how many plethora of girls he has. I&#8217;ve been nothing but supportive to this man, loved him till the end of the f****** world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAt the time of her claims, representatives for Wayne did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/lil-wayne-centre-growing-fears-health-after-postponing-gig-due-illness-1427756.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 August 2025 Lil Wayne is at the centre of growing fears for his health after he postponed a highly anticipated Toronto concert due to illness.\u00a0 Lil Wayne is at the centre of growing fears for his health after he postponed a highly anticipated Toronto concert due to illness The 42-year-old rapper\u2019s scheduled venue, Budweiser [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":186753,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[12118,12119,5347,922,12117,533],"class_list":{"0":"post-186752","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-make-up","8":"tag-belly-gang-kushington","9":"tag-denise-bidot","10":"tag-dwayne-michael-carter-jr","11":"tag-lil-wayne","12":"tag-nocap","13":"tag-tyga"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
