Tone-Loc collapsed onstage at a concert in Atlanta on Saturday. According to TMZ, the rapper was treated at a nearby hospital and was released shortly afterward. Reports have indicated that he suffered a seizure, but his manager told TMZ that he was suffering from exhaustion but is now recovering.

Billboard reports that Tone-Loc has had a history of seizures, and had previously collapsed during an outdoor performance in Pensacola Beach, Florida in 2009.

But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
