US rapper Lil Wayne has been rushed to hospital after suffering a series of seizures in a Chicago hotel room and falling unconscious.

According to reports from tabloid entertainment site TMZ, the 34-year-old had another seizure as he was being taken to a nearby hospital's accident and emergency department.

Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, has a history of epilepsy and last year suffered two minor fits. He also spent a number of days in hospital in 2013 after a seizure.

He has previously revealed he experiences seizures because of stress and overworking himself without necessary rest.

He was scheduled to perform in Las Vegas on Sunday night, but that concert now seems unlikely.
