Lil Wayne received nine stitches at St. Louis' DePaul Health Center after a skateboarding accident, presumably following his show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in the Arch City Sunday night.
"The Lou was good," the rap superstar tweeted early Monday, "but I busted my fuggin head at the sk8park! 9stitches! Gnarly gash over my left eye! Luv the people"
According to KTVI-TV, a nurse at DePaul said the multi-Platinum rapper, 28, and his entourage flooded the facility's E.R. until the dreadlocked artist had been sent home.
In the meantime, the rapper's latest offering, Tha Carter IV, hits stores August 29.
