According to TMZ, Lil Wayne is once again imbibing regularly on the cough syrup mixture known as lean. Allegedly the rapper, "started sippin' the sizzurp a few months ago and hasn't even been hiding it by flashing his double cup. He's rarely been photographed without one in recent weeks ... even last week in Dubai where there's zero tolerance for the stuff."

If this report is true, it's a truly startling development for Wayne who began experiencing seizures quite regularly as a result of drinking the codeine-laced concoction before kicking the habit in 2013. As he told Katie Couric in an interview from around that time, "the doctor kind of told me, you know, we can't tell you what to do, you've built everything around you, so you know, the only person that can tell you what to do is your mom...I suggest your mom tell you to stop...and she did."
