Lil Wayne is in ICU in critical condition after suffering yet another seizure, and it doesn't look good, TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story that the 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. Tuesday night after suffering multiple seizures.  He was released Wednesday but just hours later one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious.

Wayne was rushed to the hospital again, but this time he did not stabilize.  He was taken to ICU, where he was placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.

TMZ reports that Wayne is currently "unstable," and has been placed in an induced coma.  He is breathing through tubes.
