Via TMZ:
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, and an eyewitness tells us EMT workers are administering CPR. Members of Rick’s entourage are standing by, some of them extremely emotionally upset.
Update
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.
The plane made an emergency landing right away — and we’re told, as Rick was being wheeled off the aircraft, he appeared to show signs of life.
Update 2
Rapper Wale – one of Rick’s closest friends — just tweeted, “I just talked to Ross…he’s 100 pct ok..”
Story developing …

Wow! I know I have laughed at some jokes before on Rick Ross expense, especially the fat jokes cause they are just endless on twitter, but this is sad. I really hope he is Ok.
I understand Wale wanting to calm the fans down but if Rick Ross really had a seizure he is NOT Ok! That’s serious! I really hope this is a wake up call to take better care of himself starting with his obvious weight loss problem.

On the real though, how ironic that I was listening to “50′s My Favorite” when I saw this.
