Last month rapper Rick Ross experienced a bit of a health scare involving two seizures in one day. The Def Jam recording artist stopped by BET’s 106th & Park and talked about his experience and explained the real reason behind that eventful day:
When I snapped out of it [the first seizure] and they told me what had happened, I’m like, ‘You’re buggin’. Call the jet. We’re about to keep it moving.’ Growing up and hearing about seizures, they can be violent. You bust vessels. You bite your tongue up. In my case, there wasn’t any of that. I felt like I could keep going. I boarded the jet and I had another seizure. And when I snapped out of that one, I woke up in front of a doctor and he asked me basically, ‘When was the last time you slept 8 hours?’ It was a case of me not getting enough rest, not getting enough sleep, so I had to fix that.
Ross then went on to admit that he still went into the studio to record a track with Jay-Z, despite the doctor ordering him to rest. He also thanked his fans and popular rival 50 Cent for reaching out and sending in their well wishes.
I respect the grind…but….nothing matters….and I mean NOTHING! If you don’t take care of your health.
he had a seizure cos he aint slept in 8 hours for a while?
……….suuuuuuure… *side eye*
Why are Americans such liars? It seems everyone of yall cant be honest. Its a damn shame and u dragging the world to hell with u.

That is some of the biggest bullshit I’ve heard! You don’t have seizures from not getting enough rest, you can faint, dehydrate maybe, but not go into a seizure. Does he think because he’s on BET, THAT EVERYONE IS STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE HIM….LOSE AOME DAMN MF WEIGHT….OBESE ASSS
you can get seizures from not getting enough sleep,over working your self with out getting the proper rest is bad for your body,you cant get seizures from being fat,around 64% of americans are over weight and 30% are obesse if that was the case you would get reports of people getting seizures every other day cause of there weight,you can be big and healthy,just like you can be skinny and have high blood pressure and diabetes, you sound like a dunmbass trying to sound smart,actually i take that back,you just like a dumbass,step ya knowledge up
You’re probably right, people do NOT have seizures from lack of sleep:
Approximately 70% of seizures have unknown causes. One in 10 people will have a seizure during their lifetime. Known causes include:
Neurological
lack of oxygen to the brain
poisoning (lead, carbon monoxide)
head injury
genetic defect in the brain
brain tumor
arteriovenous malformation (AVM)
following brain surgery
infection (meningitis, encephalitis, abscess)
Cardiovascular
stroke
irregular blood pressure
irregular heart beat (arrhythmia)
Other
kidney or liver failure
metabolism disorders
low blood sugar (diabetes), hypoglycemia
pregnancy
withdrawal from drugs or alcohol
high fever (febrile seizure) usually in children
Psychological (non epileptic attack)
hysteria or panic attacks
hyperventilation
mental illness
You can actually experience a seizure from lack of sleep. Do your research.
You can get seizures from lack of sleep though.
Ummm, I HIGHLY doubt he had a seizure from lack of damn sleep. He can go ahead with that one….you probably can seize from lack of sleep, but it’s usually paired with other things, not solely from lack of damn sleep.
Damn skeewee38 din nobody ask for all that we talm bout dis fat ass having a seizure nd shit.
he need to loose some of those pounds because next time this will happen it will be very bad for him.
Respect his grind but your health comes first!!
Don’t down play a seizure. You can’t have one then just hop up like “Let’s keep moving”. You can’t have cool calm thug seizures smh.
I have seen none epileptic seizures and none of them have been something a person can just hop up from. Especially if it was enough for him to loss consciousness and have to be told what happened.
Rick Ross isn’t dirty looking like 50 cent is, he’s always fly.
Ross says “He i’m HIV free, let me hit raw”.
You tha BOSS!
You-You-You THA BOSS!!
Take care HONEE!
If you need a Nurse to help take care of you, I Gotcha!
who are these chick that think rick ross is cute? the most random thing i have ever heard.
Don’t hate, there are quite a few females that love the big bodies! You see them all the time… a tiny girl with a big ol’ teddy bear boyfriend/husband.
So that’s what ther’e calling fat nowadays “sleep deprivation” smh.
wow, now siezures come from not getting rest? never heard of that.
SMH some of yall people need to do your research!!! You can get seizures from lack of sleep! Sleep deprivation is a something a lot of people that work a lot go thru! Rick Ross hasnt really sat down since his first ablum dropped so i believe it. Dude is a hustler!
He really has some fans.. LOL If it were left up to me, he would get 8 hours sleep every night! ZZZZZZzzzz
lmmfao!
Yeah I had to go look this up. It’s true…not getting enough rest can trigger seizures. Wow. Take care of yourselves people!
Not getting enough sleep is also why he is over weight… When thinking about you body,think of a car…
SMFH! Educate yourselves my people. Some people are soooo quick to judge..instead of judging how about read a damn book. Search the net etc. SMFH! And if someone finds him “cute” “handsome” etc…who are we to say he’s not? Everyone’s not attracted to the same type of people..
Well that proves that some people are attracted to bears.
I bet he still eating enough for 5 people. Dont take all that food to live.
maybe the audience brought that “8 hrs w/o sleep” BUT I hope he ain’t lying to hisself. RIP to all the fallen rappers befor him.. Cause DEATH is REAL. So, I hope he’ll be real with his health as he is with hustle!

With everyone talking about siezures, this could be Rick Ross’ new purpose…to become a spokesperson for siezures. Reguardless of the reason we might think…he still had a siezure. I had a friend have a siezure right in front of me while I was driving…not a fun sight!
I love Rick Ross [as an artist]. Whether it was from lack of sleep or not fact still remains he had a seizer and all his fans are glad he’s ok.
To keep it all the way funky rick ross is not all that fat,i seen a whole lot worse,so some of yall doing too much with them comments,and no homo but i can see why woman might wna fuck wit rozay,he’s a confident fly nigga,and any big guy who walks around with his shirt off is content with himself not just on the outside but on the inside,and big niggas get major play,look at barry white,gerald levert,heavy d,biggie,etc all these dudes got so some much pussy it’s pathetic

Some of yall are idiots… Just sayin… His weight has nothing to do with the seizure… Yall just find ways to bring people down for no reason. Should Ross try to shed some of the weight? Of course… but his weight has NOTHING to do with what happened to him. Ignorant asses. Go read a book….
