TMZ reports paramedics were called for a “sick person” at a Lower Manhattan hotel in the afternoon hours of Monday. Witnesses stated they saw the rapper being wheeled out of the hotel around 2:30 p.m. and loaded into an awaiting ambulance.
Lil Uzi Vert’s girlfriend and former City Girls rapper, JT, was by their side as they were placed in the ambulance.
Security held up black ambulances to block photogs from taking pictures of the scene.
Sources further told the media that the rapper was conscious when paramedics wheeled him out of the hotel and headed to the hospital. They were then taken to the emergency room and were kept overnight.
As of Tuesday morning, they were still admitted to the hospital. However, it remains unclear about his condition or why he sought medical care.
