Sigh.

Looks like Lil Wayne is reportedly back on his beloved drug of choice… sizzurp.

Yes, the same one that he vowed to quit after the prescription-strength cough syrup caused him to have several serious seizures during an overdose back in 2013.

An insider tells TMZ the rapper gives "zero f*cks" about his health and hasn't been seen without his double Styrofoam cup in the past few months. The I Am Not A Human Being rapper was even spotted sipping on sizzurp in Dubai where there is a zero tolerance of the substance.

Sad.

This news comes at the heels of the 33-year-old's personal reconciliation with his mentor/label head Birdman, although he still intends to sue for his music and the money he's owed.

Considering the New Orleans native has four children in the mix, we certainly hope this isn't the beginning of a downward spiral.

Yikes! This doesn't sound very good!

Rapper Rich Homie Quan had quite a health scare earlier this week when he fainted on the set of a music video shoot in Atlanta and began suffering seizures!

Sources say the southern rapper fell hard and smashed his head against the ground, and he was immediately rushed to the hospital!

Luckily, it sounds like he's

We feel weird saying 'sizzurp' because it's such an absurd word, but it's basically cough syrup mixed with Sprite or Mountain Dew and pieces of Jolly Rancher candy. The codeine will get you high, and it's addictive.

Lil' Wayne says his seizure had nothing to do with an addiction to this, but is in fact epilepsy.

Here's what he said, after saying he was back to 100%:

Oh thank goodness…

Lil' Wayne's musical offerings are too unique and golden. If he left this world prematurely, we'd be missing out on TOO much!

Fortunately, sources can confirm that Weezy was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after a seizure scare that had the entire internet fearing his death last Friday.

Believed to have been caused by a drug overdose — specifically codeine AKA that purple drank that Justin Bieber was scandalized with a few months ago — controversy has begun to swirl around the rapper.

And now many are insisting he needs

Justin Bieber… what the eff is up with this!?!

Some could say that all of his weed scandal seems like nothing now compared to the latest Bieby bomb! …because now we're getting into REALLY shady territory.

Photos from this week's round of parties suggest that the little prince has partaken in some purple drank AKA codeine AKA sizzurp.

The photographs are said to show Justin hanging with Lil Za and Lil Twist as they roll up some blunts at a table covered with two sets of double cups.

Now… for those of you who don't know or don't listen to Lil' Wayne, this is a known style of consuming the drug. And Biebs is apparently DRINKING

That headline sounds odd all-around, but it's completely true, proving you're never too old to become a criminal!

Lucita Uy, a 70-year-old woman from Los Angeles County, and her 42-year-old son have been arrested for a narcotics scheme we never would have imagined in our wildest dreams.

According to authorities, the mother-son duo bought 3 pharmacies so they could purchase a powerful cough syrup called promethazine, which they sent from California to Houston, Texas.

What cost them just $9 a bottle was then concocted as a street drug called "purple drank" or "the lean" and sold for up to $600 a bottle in Houston!

To give you an idea of how much mula the family business was raking in, they bought more than 97,000 pints of this stuff, which could have potentially been worth $58 million!

The cough syrup criminals were indicted on two counts of conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to structure cash transactions to evade federal reporting requirements.

Christopher Lamont Crawford and Kendra Patrice Manigault, co-conspirators living Houston, were also arrested.

It was hard enough for our parents to convince us to take a swig of cough syrup when we were kids, we can't imagine shelling out $600 to drink it now!
