Lil Wayne spent a day at an aquarium with his 4-old-son Dwayne just three days before he was rushed to hospital in LA while suffering uncontrollable seizures.

According to TMZ, they visited the Georgia Aquarium on March 9 and checked out the Ocean Voyager exhibit.

Lil Wayne, 30, has tweeted to say he is “good” despite it being said he was dying and being read his last rights.

TMZ had reported Lil Wayne was on his death bed with friends and family saying their last goodbyes to the star.

While the rapper was said to be on “life support” and in a critical condition after suffering from uncontrollable seizures he tweeted to fans late Friday saying he was alright.

Lil Wayne wrote: “I’m good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.”

Friends still packed the waiting room of the hospital on Friday night including rapper Drake.

Drake was seen leaving the hospital shortly after Wezzy tweeted he was doing fine in spite of TMZ‘s reports.

His friend and president of the rapper’s Young Money record label, Mack Maine refuted TMZ‘s story tweeting just prior to Lil Wayne.“Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game…thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon.”

Mack Maine added: “We will be releasing an official statement shortly but don’t believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe…that’s false!!”

TMZ had reported Lil Wayne was rushed to Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

The website claimed that Lil Wayne – real name is Dwayne Michael Carter – was in critical condition after being placed in an induced coma, reportedly breathing through tubes.

TMZ initially reported Lil Wayne was being given his last rites and his family were at his hospital bedside and saying their goodbyes

However, TMZ later removed any reference Lil Wayne being given his last rites saying instead his mother is flying into Los Angeles to make a decision on whether to continue with life support.

Lil Wayne was meant to have fallen ill after suffering multiple seizures whilst shooting Nicki Minaj’s new single, High School on Tuesday.

The rapper was released the following day.

TMZ reported later that day one of his bodyguards found Lil Wayne in his room, on the floor and unconscious and while he was rushed to Ceders Sinai Hospital doctors were unable to stabilze the rapper.

Fidel Castro has written a strongly-worded article condemning persistent rumors that he is on his death bed.

The 86-year-old attacked international media “lies”, and published photos of himself in Cuba’s state media.

Fidel Castro said he was in good health, and could not even remember the last time he had a headache.

Venezuelan politician Elias Jaua said on Sunday he had a five-hour meeting with Fidel Castro the previous day.

Elias Jaua presented a photo of the encounter, and said the former Cuban leader was “very well, very lucid”.

The last images of Fidel Castro to be made public had been from March, when the Cuban ex-leader briefly met Pope Benedict XVI during the pontiff’s visit to the Communist island.

Fidel Castro’s long absence from the public stage had fuelled rumors on social media sites that his health had deteriorated, or that he may even have died.

“Although a lot of people in the world are taken in by the organs of information, almost all of which are in the hands of the privileged and the rich that publish these stupidities, people are increasingly believing less and less in them,” Fidel Castro said in his article.

He went on to say that he was keeping himself busy writing and studying, but had decided to step back from public life “because it certainly is not my role to occupy the pages of our newspaper”.

Fidel Castro finished off by saying: “I don’t even remember what a headache is. To show what liars they are, I’m offering these photos to accompany this article.”

A series of photos, taken by his son Alex, show him outside wearing a cowboy hat and a checked shirt. In some photos, he is reading Friday’s copy of the Communist Party newspaper Granma.

Fidel Castro led Cuba after the revolution in 1959, first as prime minister (1959-1976) and later as president.

In 2006, surgery took Fidel Castro out of public view. His brother Raul became acting president.

In February 2008, Fidel Castro officially handed over power to Raul who has been leading the country since then.
