Reports earlier this week revealed Alsina was being treated for seizures.
A rep for the singer tells TMZ … August is in the ICU of a New York City hospital and receiving treatment for the seizures. We broke the story when he fainted and fell off a stage last night. The rep says doctors did not find any drugs — other than marijuana — in Alsina’s system … and at this point they believe the fainting was brought on by exhaustion and dehydration. (TMZ)
