Rapper Rick Ross rushed to hospital after collapsing at home
The 42-year-old was taken to a Miami hospital after being "unresponsive" in a frantic 911 call. The star has a history of seizures and it's believed that he has pneumonia
RAPPER Rick Ross has been rushed to hospital from his Miami home after a frantic 911 call revealed he was “breathing heavily and unresponsive”.
The 42-year-old star was taken ill in his home in the early hours of Thursday morning, and the person making the call revealed that he had a history of seizures.
Rick – real name William Leonard Roberts II – was said to be “slobbing at the mouth” according to TMZ and wasn’t waking up.
The US site also claims that the star later came to and became “combative” before being to hospital.
He is currently reportedly recovering in hospital with suspected pneumonia – with a source adding to the site that cause of his issues is heart-related.
Rick became a father for the first time in September 2017, with Briana Camille giving birth to a baby girl.
Up until the date of his hospitalisation, the star lapped attention on his girl, names Berkeley Hermes Roberts, and Briana had shared a video of him surprising her with a visit from Sesame Street character Elmo.
He previously had two seizures in the same day in 2011 – and after being taken to hospital declared his lack of sleep being behind them.
However, with the health scare in mind, the star changed his lifestyle, dropping 100lbs in a bid to get healthier.
The Sun Online has contacted Rick’s representatives for comment.
