For the past few years, rapper Lil Wayne has been in the news quite a few times for catching random seizures, and it hurt the ones around him more than we'll ever know -- until now. In this emotional clip, Karrine Steffans remembers the times when she found out her former lover was in the hospital, and how she felt like a mother losing a child when she heard he was near death.

"[I began] to wonder what would happen if anything ever happened to him -- you start to think about those things. We're not these young kids anymore on this tour bus just riding around smoking blunts and living recklessly," Karrine recalls.

Steffans, who wrote a book about Wayne entitled "How To Make Love To A Martian," even relocated once so that she could be closer to him at the hospital. Watch above as she details it all.
