Rick Ross blames lack of sleep for seizures
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 3 November 2011
Rapper Rick Ross has claimed that medical tests show him to be “totally healthy” and blamed five years of not sleeping properly for the two seizures he suffered in quick succession last month.
As previously reported, as Ross travelled to a gig in Memphis recently, the plane he was on was forced to return to the airport from which it had embarked after he suffered a seizure. He received treatment from a doctor on the plane and then from paramedics back on the ground. Seemingly fine, he chartered a private jet and tried once again to get to Memphis, but that was also forced to land early when he suffered a second seizure.
Amid concerns that those incidents suggested Ross had some sort of serious illness, the rapper assured BET’s ‘106 & Park’: “It was [just] a case of me not getting enough rest, enough sleep”.
