U.S rapper, Rick Ross is presently hospitalised because of a serious medical condition. Reports TMZ suggests that the rapper has been put on life support at a Miami-area hospital, TMZ reports.
According to sources close to TMZ, the MMG mogul was hooked up to a machine that is performing the functions of his heart and lungs.
Rick is being treated in the hospital’s cardiac unit, and it is suspected the star suffered a heart attack which manifested itself in respiratory issues.
Sources tell TMZ Rick has been placed on ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which is a technique used to oxygenate his blood outside of his body, before it’s pumped back into his body.
A dispatch report of the incident from Davie Police Department said Ross became ‘combative’ when officers attended the scene and it added that he ‘Boo-Bood on himself’.
Ross is said to have a history of medical issues and had suffered two seizures on two separate flights in October 2011.
Ross’ former girlfriend and mother of his son William Roberts III, told PEOPLE that he should be prayed for.
However, MMG rapper Fat Trel who is signed to Rick Ross’ label debunk the report that he is on life support.
“JUS TALKED 2 MY BIG HOMIE… HE GOOD… HE IN DA HOSPITAL BUT HE IS NOT ON “LIFE SUPPORT” … HE GOOD,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, many of his famous friends and peers took to Twitter wishing him well and asking people to pray for him. Some of his colleagues and friends who wished the rapper well are of Diddy, LL Cool J, Trey Songz, Missy Elliot, among others.
