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.
ok! he needs to sit his ass down somewhere.
Health comes first, fan comes second and chicken comes last! He needs to get his health undercover, something is seriously wrong for him to him a second one within a short time frame. Hope they figure it and he recovers quickly, could be high blood pressure.
Praying for Ricks recovery. I hope they do MRI & CAT SCAN before releasing him, 2 c why he’s having these seizures.
im in prayer he needs to lay low bed rest foreal…….. all that $ fans etc will be there when he is better we luv you rick god has a plan he has the last say…. take care boo!
Slow it down Ross
Feel Better Soon ROZAY!!
Hope u get better
GOD WILL SEE HIM THROUGH IT
Damn i hope he feels better. Keeping him in my prayers.
GOD BLESS HIM! Sounds like he needs some rest. Slow down or your body WILL SHUT DOWN!!!!! WHEW!
mri…cat scan…blood work…ekg…full medical evaluation and stay off airplanes not sure if the electrical currents in the brain can withstand the altitude right now…get well rick take care of yourself…god bless
Get better soon Rick…. We need u in the music game….but sometimes u got to get some rest…keeping u in prayer…..
I’m with u @Deborah Smith… I hope someone work on a neuro consult…. Cuz something is definitely not rite….
Feel better, Ricky Rozay!
Your health is greater than wealth. I hope he heals. Prayers.
my family and i have rick ross and his family in our prayers. we really need to slow down and take care of ourselves first in order to go on with our daily schedules so please put god first as well as your health
i think the drug dealing real Rick Ross don hired a hit, Karma hit! Karma’s a bytch.
So is he still gonna perform come hell or high water?…You are not God only he knows the future…I hope this teaches him a lesson…Hope he has a full recovery and looks at life differently
The body will definitely let you know when it needs rest. So I hope he takes this as a sign to slow down and get some rest and make the money later. May GOD be with him!
I really hate when people say “get healthy….lose weight….” All that jive when in all actuality this could happen to anybody. From the skinniest of people to the largest of people. 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
wow I just saw the whole story and watched the video he made… ummm he does not seem to be taking it seriously, but I bet he is now with having a second one. that is so sad. I would be so worried. I hope he does betta
@ brea…get healthy …lose weight is essential and yes it could happen to anybody but sometimes other factors make things worse…
get well…get healthy rick…prayers to you…
@pam…thats the feeling that i have too is that he isnt taking it seriously at this time…
@ brea…it dosent matter that someone is at "birmingham’s finest hospital" or the taj mahal …its all up to god…not "birmingham’s finest hospital"
and at 4 in the morning brea youshould be sleeping
He need to get somewheres and saddown! Take care of yourself Boss!
Praying for full recovery slow down Rick Ross The Boss baby we love u man get some rest !
know matter how young or old a person is things like this have happen to me & my oldest daughter in life & rest is much needed !!!
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…
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.
*NC
that fool is gonna drop down next time an he aint gettin back up, this fool gettin sooo much warnings an he is just ignoring them all,well atleast i will be around to tell him RIP
Thanks Sakina Sims
OK where do I begin?? I hope that he gets better, let’s face it, this is also a Health Issue as well, he needs to contact "Big Deuces Michelle" and go to Dramatic Weight Loss.
This man has a death wish…so why pray for him…just let him accomplish it…#stupidarseman
He worship the devil any”damn”way………
e needs a full medical evaluation (mri…cat scans…blood work…ekg etc) and to take heed to the warning signs…slow down rick pray and try to take care of yourself…god bless
Ross you need to listen…….God is tryin to tell you something Sit Down!!!!
Awww man I’m a 305 native and I met him a few times, he’s a really nice guy. I wish he would sit down somewhere n rest. I will continue to pray for him and his family @ATLien imma keep u lifted up also cuz I know he (n Big Boi) is ur boo
THINK IT IS GREENSBORO’ NORTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA A&T HOMECOMING……
The doc wasn’t going to release him until they find out what is going on with him, he recovers quickly
Good! He need his rest & he need to take care of himself.
He also should probably change his diet!
lay down dude
He needs to rest AND DARE I SAY IT… lose weight. I bet he has high blood, cholesterol, diabetes and a host of other things. GOD BLESS HIM.
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.
I am praying for him, hopefully he gets the rest and care he needs. Seizures r such a scary thing and could be fatal
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
