It hasn’t been a healthy week for rappers.
One day after rapper Rick Ross suffered two seizures in one day, old school rapper Tone Loc collapsed onstage in Atlanta on Saturday.
Tone Loc, 45, was transported to a nearby hospital and given an IV, but his manager said he was doing fine and explained he was suffering from exhaustion following 12 concerts in two months — an average of one concert every five days.
Reportedly, he may have suffered a seizure. If that is true, this is not the first time Tone Loc has had a seizure in public.
Last December, Tone Loc was pulled over by cops in Los Angeles on suspicion of DUI — but they soon realized he had instead gone into a seizure behind the wheel.
In 2009, he collapsed during an outdoor performance in Pensacola Beach, Fla.
A spokesman for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department said at the time it appeared he had a seizure because of overheating.
He was treated at a hospital and released.
Earlier this month, Tone Loc pleaded no contest to possession of an assault weapon and corporal injury to a spouse in connection with a June 18 domestic violence arrest.
He was sentenced to one day in jail, three years of probation, 30 days of community service and 52 weeks of anger management counseling.
“Wild Thing” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard charts in 1988. His follow-up hit, “Funky Cold Medina,” performed just as well, coming in at No. 3 the following year.
