Rapper has Seizure on DL Flight, then on Private Jet same Day

I have never heard of Rick Ross, but I feel for the guy. I also have to give him credit for trying to honor a commitment. After having a seizure on board DL 1310 from FLL to MEM, and then after that flight has to declare an emergency and return to FLL, the guy gets treatment and charters a private jet in an effort to make his appearence at the University of Memphis' "Midnight Madness" event. Seems he had another seizure and had to be hospitalized. Jeze, get well soon.

I went to Memphis Maddness and know some of the University staff. Rick Ross's people were speculating that something altitude related must have brought on the seizure since he was fine on the ground before and after the first flight.
They said hospital in FLL cleared him to continue so he contacted the University and said he was still coming. After the first seizure the university had local Memphis artist Yo Gotti on standby to step in when the flight diverted.
I didn't know who Rick Ross was, but the point is to pick artists that the recruits like. The boosters are just there to see the dunk contest and scrimage. Still had a full house of 18.5k for a fun event.

Rick Ross aka the "Boss" has been one of the leading hip hop artists for the past several years. I wish him well.
