Rozay was hospitalized a few weeks ago after suffering two seizures within hours of each other, and explained in a recent interview that it may have been his hustlin mentality that’s to blame.
My personal mantra has always been “You sleep, we grind”…. well apparently in Ricky’s case, it was that lack of sleep that may have lead to serious health consequences.
Ross opened up on BET’s “106 & Park” yesterday, discussing, for the first time, the two seizures he suffered on that October 14th flight to Memphis.
“I felt a little wore out, but I felt that I could keep going and that’s what it was. I boarded a jet and I had ANOTHER seizure. And when I snapped out of that one, I woke up in front of a doctor, who asked me, basically, ‘when was the last time you slept 8 hours’… and I said ‘man it had to be at least 5 years’…
Being the fastest growing label in the game comes with a lot of sacrifices and in my case it was SLEEP. I would get 2 hours of sleep and keep moving. And that has to stop…
It was a case of me not having enough rest… not getting enough sleep… and I had to fix that.
Watch video…
According to the Huffington Post, sleep could have very well been a factor, especially if Rick has been diagnosed with epilepsy.
“Sleep activates the electrical charges in the brain that result in seizures and seizures are timed according to the sleep wake cycle. For some people, seizures occur exclusively during sleep. This is especially true for a particular type of epilepsy known as benign focal epilepsy of childhood, also known as Rolandic epilepsy.
When seizures occur during sleep, they may cause awakenings that are sometimes confused with insomnia. Epilepsy patients are often unaware of the seizures that occur while they sleep. They may suffer for years from daytime fatigue and concentration problems without ever knowing why. For people with epilepsy, sleep problems are a double-edged sword; epilepsy disturbs sleep and sleep deprivation aggravates epilepsy.
I’m glad Rick realizes that he has to slow down and take care of himself.
Have YOU been getting your 8 hours?
Lord knows I haven’t!
It’s time for a change…

I think it’s his Triple F tits causing them…#weigtwatchersworks
Hmmm? Your big poppa, what will Bob think of that? So yal mad at each other huh
like we’re dumb…
Maybe if he lost about 50 lbs…then maybe its sleep. Sleep apnea.
Sleep apena is no joke. if you hear a person snoring – LET THEM KNOW and TELL THEM TO go get a sleep study test. Untreated it can kill.
Whatever it is he needs to do better.
Little known fact, I suffer from seizures in my adult years & it’s not from a lack of sleep no where in the medical journals can you find that.
how about losing weight, stop the smoking and drinking!!!
I wonder if he was a small person would these comments be different…
A big time artist like the "BOSS" definetly needs to take better care of his health if he wants to continue to deliver the excellent music!! a lack of sleep for periods of time will definetly cause serious maybe sometime fatal health risks. btw i love you Ross!!!
Men dont like 2 b sick …that macho thing lol.
We believe our 3 year old daughter’s seizures are caused by lack of sleep. We had just brought home her newborn sister and she had 5 petit mal/complex seizures in one day. Being that she was not use to all the commotion a new baby brings and she was a co-sleeper with us, she was not getting her normal rest. She is currently on medication and other than having seizures (febrile due to high fever), she has not had anymore. Thank God. My prayers are with Rick, it’s a scary thing and we are blessed our daughter is too young to realize what is going on. We pray she grows out of them.
I think its several factors not just one.
He’s overweight
He works too hard
He smokes
He drinks
He doesn’t get enough sleep
He probably doesn’t eat right
He’s probably under a lot of stress
And there’s probably a hereditary factor that he’s not disclosing at the moment.
Ricky, are you sure it’s not the drugs? Who’s your doctor?
@ kamalla…well said
@ ranata…funny but i’m not gonna laugh
@tj….hope that your child feels better..god bless
and to rick ross..take care of yourself…
