Rick Ross Suffers 2nd Seizure On Private Jet To Memphis, TN *UPDATE* [VIDEO]

Oct, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien
My heart is heavy right now as I report that Rick Ross suffered a SECOND seizure on his way to Memphis, Tennessee to perform tonight at the FED Ex arena.

Ross suffered a seizure this morning on a jet traveling from Ft. Lauderdale to Memphis that had to be diverted due to the seriousness of his condition.

He went to the hospital, and it was reported that he had to have CPR performed.

Rick was released from the hospital and posted a video swearing that he was well enough to still perform tonight in Memphis for his waiting fans.

Ross boarded a private jet that took off at 5:07 PM ET from Ft. Lauderdale to make tonight’s concert in Memphis. But at 5:44 PM CDT, the plane was diverted and landed in Birmingham after Rick had ANOTHER seizure while on board.

According to TMZ, he is currently in a Birmingham hospital emergency room and word is that he is once again in stable condition

Rick was supposed to be on stage in Memphis at 7:30 PM ET.

Please keep Ross in your prayers for a speedy recovery.

UPDATE 1 10/15/11 – 12:00pm: No word on if Rick has been released from the Birmingham hospital he was taken to after his 2nd seizure, but TMZ is reporting that he’s still trying to perform tonight.

Ross is slated to perform at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina as part of homecoming at North Carolina A&T State University.

According to an employee at the venue, Ross’ people called the venue this morning to confirm that he is doing better and will be on stage as planned tonight.

Dayum Rick! Slow yo roll…. SMH! A hustler never rests but I guess that’s why he’s successful.

UPDATE 2 – 10/15/11 10:11pm: The show did NOT go on…

Rick Ross will NOT take the stage tonight in North Carolina after his Friday night health scare left him hospitalized twice for seizures.

A rep for the Greensboro Coliseum, where Ross was scheduled to perform, had previously told TMZ they had been contacted by Ross’ people and told he would be there.

But when TMZ called the arena again around 6:50 PM ET, the deputy director of the Coliseum said Ross would no longer be performing. He would not elaborate.

Reps for Ross have not gotten back to us for comment.

I’m still praying for him though.

He’s at one if our (Birmingham’s) finest hospitals so he will be fine. #prayforrozay SN: I wonder how many of our trifling ass doctors/nurses had him signing fake wavers just to get his autograph

  He better not try to fly again…It may have something to do with cabin pressure…He needs to really take care of himself. There was a reason for those seizures. The sooner he finds out, the sooner he can get better…
  
  Kamalla
  
  i was thinking the same thing. cabin pressure, medication, his weight, his age, it could be anything. seizures just don’t fall out of the sky. the seizure is symptomatic of some other health or enviornmental issue. hopefully he will get the right kind of medical care and follow up treatment.

- Trinika Pounds via Facebook
  
  Praying for him hope he recovers and they find out what is the underlying problem and he needs rests like SERIOUS rest and the flashing lights during concerts will not help his situation it could throw him into another one as well he insist on performing.
- Jazzy Songbird Trevillion via Facebook
  
  I am praying for him, hopefully he gets the rest and care he needs. Seizures r such a scary thing and could be fatal
- BLAH
  
  Praying for a speedy recovery. I know my bro started having seizures out of nowhere last year, but he did drink heavy the night before have one, but he is good when he takes his meds. Either way Ross get some rest, you doing to much. Sometimes scans won’t tell you anything but eat healthy and getting proper nutrients can’t hurt his situation
