August Alsina Treated for Seizures

“No Love” singer at a New York City hospital after he falls off stage.

August Alsina is being treated for suffering multiple seizures after he fainted during a show in New York City earlier this week, TMZ reports. The “No Love” crooner remains in the ICU of a New York hospital.

Besides marijuana, no other drugs were found in Alsina’s system, a rep for the Def Jam recording artists said. It is not known when he will be released. 

The fainting spell is believed to have been the result of exhaustion and dehydration. Alsina, 22, has been going non-stop since releasing his Testimony debut this past spring. In August, Alsina launched the Testimony Live tour, hitting close to two dozen cities in just over a month. 

His tour was scheduled to wrap this weekend in Kansas City, and in November the New Orleans native is billed to open for Usher’s UR Experience tour.
