Rick Ross Doing 'Good' After Plane Scare

Rick Ross is unconscious and paramedics are desperately trying to resuscitate him.


Rick was on a flight going from Ft. Lauderdale to Memphis today, when the rapper lost consciousness. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing.


Emergency workers tell us the call came in at 12:55 PM ET ... the caller reported a seizure.


Ross is currently on a gurney at the airport. Members of Rick's entourage are standing by, some of them extremely emotionally upset.




11:54 AM PST: Rick Ross -- who's still in the hospital -- is telling people he still plans to perform tonight in Memphis at FedExForum.


11:05 AM PST: It appears Rick Ross is now tweeting, claiming he is okay.


10:57 AM PST: Ross was transported to a nearby hospital.


A family member tells TMZ, Rick is currently under close supervision and is doing fine. We're told drugs and alcohol were not involved.


10:50 AM PST: Rapper Wale -- one of Rick's closest friends -- just tweeted, "I just talked to Ross...he's 100 pct ok.." Another member of Rick's entourage DJ Sam Sneaker also says the rapper is okay.


10:36 AM PST: A witness tells TMZ, Rick fell unconscious right after take-off.


We're told his entourage jumped out of their seats to alert plane personnel -- at which point a doctor on board administered CPR on the rapper.


According to the site, the plane had to make an emergency landing while a doctor onboard administered CPR. Several members of Ross' Maybach Music Group camp have confirmed with MTV News that Rozay is doing better now. None would confirm that the rapper had suffered a seizure, however, saying only that he was "good."


Wale, who is signed to Ross' label, took to Twitter to end online speculation that Rozay may not pull through, even getting in a bit of promotion for the Miami MC's upcoming God Forgives, I Don't LP.


"I just talked to Ross...he's 100 pct ok...@tmz #dontpanic #dontpanic #mmg !!!! #gfid dec 13th!," he wrote.


Ross DJ Sam Sneaker also hit Twitter, writing, "I'm wit @rickyrozay now he good."


MMG's videographer SpiffTvFilms also weighed in with a tweet: "Just Got Off The Phone With My Brother @rickyrozay He's Good Don't Believe The Hype #Godforgivesidont Dec 13Th."


In response to Rap Radar founder's Elliott Wilson's tweet pleading, "@rickyrozay Don't scare a n---a like that. Thanks," Ross himself fired back "@elliottwilson never dat homie..we ouchea #mmg powercircle!!!!"


At press time, MTV News had not heard back from representatives at Def Jam Records, where Ross is signed as an artist.
