Rick Ross’s condition has deteriorated and he is currently in a Miami hospital on heart and lung support. TMZ reports Ross, 42, is in a cardiac intensive care unit on a form of life support called ECMO or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Someone inside Ross’s Miami mansion called 911 at 3:30 A.M. Thursday to report he was “unresponsive” and “slobbing out the mouth.”
The caller also said Ross soiled himself after losing control of his bowels. When paramedics revived him he fought with them and he had to be restrained. Ross has a history of seizures.
TMZ reports Ross was hospitalized for possible pneumonia or a heart attack.
The tabloid later quoted a source who said Ross was hooked up to an ECMO machine for heart and lung support.
ECMO is a machine that removes the entire volume of blood from the body, exchanges the carbon dioxide in the blood for oxygen and returns the blood to the body. This is a continuous process that involves two large catheters inserted directly into the heart.
ECMO bypasses the heart and performs the gas exchange that the heart normally does via the lungs. Another term for ECMO is cardiopulmonary bypass, which means to bypass the heart and the lungs and let the machine do all the work.
ECMO is a short-term procedure that is usually done after a heart attack (ECPR) or prior to a lung transplant. Other medical reasons for ECMO life support include respiratory failure or cardiogenic shock.
Adults who receive ECMO life support for respiratory failure usually have a survival rate of 50% to 70%.

I pray he pulls through, such a nice guy! xoxo
Prayers
PRAYING FOR THE MAN…
Prayers for you Boss.
Did he ever pay his BM that child support that she was crying about? Get well, big man.
Paying for him ????
Oh my..he’s a a$$hole sometimes but I don’t want him to die
Praying for him and his family.
TMZ lied he is not on life support
Said one of his MMG guys
maybe if he didn’t encourage black youth to commit crime and glamorize drug deal and murder sending untold thousands to death and prison i would have some sympathies…feeling sorry for him is the same as feeling sorry for Osama
Prayers to him.. Thats horrible to hear. Bm wasn’t lying in that ig beef & on qc.
Get well soon ?? ??
Shut it white troll
Praying for Rozay, get well soon!??
We have to ignore that idiot. I need a translator for that comment above, wtf is it trying to say?
Why did you put in the write up that he soiled himself? This life threatening situation I don’t think we need to read about that part and try to embarrass the man.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully, this is fake news…
Hopefully
Praying for you Rick, the babies need you,you have to pull through,may God be with you.
Sending prayers.
Prayers, prayers
Oh no!! This is horrible news. I hope and pray he recovers. Wow!
SMH. Exactly. Typical unflattering trait that makes bloggers look bad
All I could think about is just seeing the post of him playing with his baby. For that reason, I didn’t think him being ill was that serious. Yes, I know pneumonia is serious, but I didn’t think his organs were failing. I hope he pulls through.
It was stated in other articles also!
Drug overdose. Lean??
I try to give Sandra the benefit of doubt sometimes in this case I will play devils advocate and say from a medical stand point and writer stand maybe she was trying to convey how serious the situation is when there is a medical issue going on and a person loses control of this bowels that’s is not a good sign. When you revive a patient that means they were dead so maybe her mentioning that’s was her way of pulling it all together to paint the picture. ?
A person losing control of their bowels happen in medical emergencies and when they die. I thought that’s why it was mentioned to illustrate how serious his condition is
Prayers for his healing.
He has a history of seizures. It’s not uncommon to have incontinence when having a seizure.
@sandra I’m aware in some cases when ppl are brought back from a drug overdose they become very combative and violent which is why medical professionals are very cautious when administering narcam. Are they saying this is drug related in anyway? Also I noticed he had multiple seizures which is also a sign of drug use narcotics more specifically lean like lil Wayne who has had multiple seizures due to drug use but he blamed it on not getting sleep and other things.
whoever you made you lol about please inform them i blocked them a long time ago
I just wrote that !! In some cases when they bring a person back from a drug overdose they are very combative when they come to. Either way this is sad. He had a friend that just passed away and was found that way in rick house . WOrds are power that baby momma of his just said he better be careful
My first thought was this was drug-related. Ross is not known to have heart problems. Heart, lung machines are rarely used for seizures.
LOL when a blocked fool tries to reply
It’s drugs watch and see.
70% survival rate. He is 42 and if he otherwise has good health, hopefully he will make it. If drugs caused this, he needs to count his blessing and change his lifestyle forever.
Prayers to The Biggest Boss
??????Get well Rick.
Yea it has all the classic signs so I’ll wait and see but I have my speech ready for the hip hop community of this is drug related! Actually I still have it ready because it’s time we the people speak out about all this glorifying drug use. There was a time when drugs and wreakless sex was associated with rock and roll
Someone commented below that @sandrarose didn’t have to embarrass him by mentioning that it was reported when he was found that he had soiled himself/lost his bowels.
I’m not a medical professional but I do know people who have passed away. Being unconscious and foam coming from the mouth is not a good sign. Also, what I have personally observed is that people that are about to expire/die do lose their bowels. Why I don’t know but they do. It might have something to do with the enormous amount of gas produced inside the body that forces a person to expel at the time their body is dying.
His family is now saying he was never admitted to the hospital and he was never on ECMO life support, which purportedly oxygenates the blood to clean the carbon dioxide (gas). Another thing to consider is how long he was unconscious and did he lose oxygen to the brain which might cause brain death. I understand what his family and loved ones might be going through but it now sounds like they are in spin control effect to cover up a possible drug overdose that nearly took him out.
Smoking too much maybe?
I understand the history of seizures and how the two relate as well as how it relates to a person that has died. Whenever you revived someone that means they were dead.
His Uncensored commercial he has that mess in his hand.
HIs baby mom posted a pic of him and his daughter on her insta snap saying we good over here. But im with you on this one l. And you are correct about how the process works
Really? See I haven’t seen the commercial and if that was the case then that would explain the seizures and his current condition this is sad
Rick Ross does have history of heart issues…one of the reasons he lost all of that weight some years ago. You guys reach so far sometimes….either way I pray complete healing over his body!
Yep, I’ve seen relatives go through that.
OH wow didn’t know that’s thanks for informing us. I knew he obviously was losing weight for his overall health but I didn’t know it was due to a heart condition. Either no matter the reason it’s still a sad situation.
https://youtu.be/JLCpbWEbWno
Wow, this sucks because Rick Ross has talent and doesn’t mumble rap. The industry and fans appreciate him, I really hope that he pulls through!!!!

Yes, some muscles spontaneously contract after death and though all muscles eventually tighten into rigor mortis others are loosening their grip entirely. Meanwhile, the part of your brain that regulates involuntary functions is shutting down. Specifically, the region of your brain that controls the muscles that hold your sphincter closed becomes incapacitated following death. Just like those rare occasions where you laughed so hard you peed in your pants, you will pee and poop in the spontaneous relaxation of your muscles following death. In fact, it’s not just the muscles but also the gas produced inside your body following death that will cause peeing and pooping.
fuck TMZ paying off all the EMTs that took the call to save this man’s life?? WTF? All the details are so ghoulish, any medical emergency where you lose consciousness will have any type of body fluid involved.
Hippaa laws should protect against these tabloids getting all this from assholes emt’s and pigs.
I just hate to think what a nasty rat like 50 pennies will be doing with that info. Fuck you 50 pennies if you bring up Rozay’s name at this time.
get well soon, ill be praying for you!!
TMZ is now reporting that he’s ok….. in the hospital but not on life support as told by his boy.
Yep. Sure will.
I hate to say this but it’s because it’s Sandra that I’m having trouble believing it wasn’t messy! It does put things in perspective, and it does add depth to the situation true…but it’s Sandra! Love u Sandra ?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d1ac01d3de1a6a0c3f7ab3cbc387fd7d8ce7214c379bead23a010a869821ffae.png
But like…maybe it shouldn’t? Like who at the scene gave all those details? The soiling must have happened at the house.
????
THanks !
Well, you know how negative auntee is. She likes to see people fail and loves to hear and write bad things about them. This is how blogs thrives. Nobody wants to hear about the sebaceous cyst a celebrity had removed unless it can be traced back to herpes or gonorrhea or giardiasis or some other godforsaken disease. Auntee’s just doin her job.
It was! Next thing someone will bring up race having something to do with why it was bought up! SMDH!
What did the BM say?
I’m reading that he is not doing good at all? Whenever I hear someone is on life support I think the worst. I recently had a loved one on life support and even though we prayed and held vigil, she passed. I didn’t fully understand that life support was extremely serious. I though she would recover. I’m wishing Rick Ross the best, he’s a dad.
So I’m seeing some comments on here that are saying that TMZ basically lied about his true condition, hospitalization, etc.
For TMZ to report on this with what they believed was accurate information means that someone with firsthand knowledge of his medical emergency and hospitalization came to them and offered provable and credible information in return for payment for that information. Say what you want about TMZ but they are not dropping dollas on fake information and risking a liable suit because of what they put in print. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, but TMZ was created by a lawyer and is owned by big money Time Warner. So, yeah. I don’t think they’re risking a lawsuit on fake news that they paid for on this story. Nah.
How many times have family, publicists, etc. stepped in to say that stories being circulated about the health of a public figure were fake only to later confess that the stories were true? It’s called spin control.
I can’t remember the name of the public figure that died a few years ago and they were actually brain dead but their family and publicist kept saying they were okay, they weren’t in the hospital yada yada. Later they came back and told the truth because an autopsy will reveal all so they knew they couldn’t keep lying. So I still see his family lying on this one and in spin control mode.
His baby mamas out there praying he dies so they can get money from his estate. Bet.
like i said earlier KARMA IS A BAD BITCH
Hopefully he pulls through. He has the money to pay the doctors he might.
SHE can’t get shit. Better believe he set it up that way.
son will get it so indirectly she will too
TMZ reported Auntie Fee as dead before she actually died. I can’t trust them anymore!
True. Fools acting brand new he was obese lost some weight does drugs, shit happens.
Um. No. They. Didn’t.
#epicfail
#shewasdead
Lol. They absolutely have the motive and the means to ensure their accuracy. As much as I despise TMZ…sorry not sorry…Harvey is never going to waste any of HIS millions publishing slander. He is an attorney, he employs attorneys….and absolutely is willing and able to pay top dollar for Class-A info. What the phuk u thought.
I am agreeing with u J…but the the masses who only maybe just considered how DEEP this is….
WHEN IS THE LAST TIME TMZ WAS HELD CIVIALLY OR CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR SLANDER…
Hi, I am a medical professional. Some of these same symptoms are common with other neurological conditions such as seizure or sometimes strokes. It definitely happens often with seizures though. We had a patient in the ER not too long ago that completely soiled himself (and stunk up a whole hall) from a seizure.
I just feel like TMZ is a bit immoral and ruthless in their reporting. They are so eager to be first they will report whatever a source gives them immediately. I’m not sure how true what they’re saying is but family members are reporting something different. Same with Wayne, they said they read him his “rites” whatever that was about.
What? Being rich doesn’t stop death.
Great informative post. But did you have to say he soiled himself. Do you think it robbed him of some decency in this difficult moment?
Get well soon Rick.
On a different subject, watchin ‘True To The Game’ on Netflix. Never thought Columbus Short was remotely attractive or sexy, but daaaaamn he is oozing sexy, DAAAAAAAMN!!
The doctors will make sure u stay alive when u have cash or insurance. If u do not then they will not try to revive you. But at the end of the day If it’s your time to go then it is. Only Allah knows that.
I swore after some celerberty died I forget who that I would never watch TMZ again. The things they said on air was so disrespectful and untimely. But low key I swing by for an update or two.
im not minding my business my bad but actually you more epically failed as she was still legally alive and not pronounced dead until after TMZ
Thank you. Auntie seems to have disdain for TACT. Smh…ignorant self!
I hope he makes it !! I like his music.
TMZ did not make a slanderous comment. Slander is spoken, not written. Libel is written, if proven true.
This is not a fair statement in my opinion. Again it’s just my opinion … but as a physician though….
Me too, a fat fùç?a.
Highly unattractive people tend to pull those type of shenanigans. It’s simply a variation of the ‘misery loves company’ theory. Anyone whose organs shut down will lose control of bodily functions, unless they’re superman (whom does not exist). Ignorance at its finest…nothing less and certainly NOTHING MORE.
That new baby mammy poisoned him. Shoulda stayed with Lira Galore, she took care of his fat aš?. But naaaawwww, he gone be smart and fü??ê? hisself.
true but she died
I agree with you 100 percent. Some other sites are being just as descriptive about him soiling himself. Leave the man with some dignity!
Wow that is a little but too much information, I am praying for him to make a very speedy recovery and for his family to get this very difficult frightening time
Lol at “unless it can be traced back to herpes or gonorrhea or giardiasis” very true
i do not believe that
Yes, I’m re learning this Psalm again kept getting the verses mixed up
Really? Thanks! Maybe coldest winter will finally get adapted ?
I’m sorry to say this but he seemed like a horrible person the way he talked about the mother of his children. However, I do like his music although he slips in satanic praises to the devil, maybe the Devil came to collect?
hmmm
My great-aunt had 5 heart attacks. On the fifth one I remember she soiled herself as well. Doctor said she had fluid in her lungs to so that whole respiratory thing is mad serious. She’s still alive tho…as for him mannnn speedy recovery bruh. I maynot be a fan but after seeing the fear in someone’s eyes while they’re having a heart attack all I can do is sincerely wish him a speedy recovery
This doesn’t sound to good man speedy recovery
Yes he was fine as hell but that movie was so terrible lol
Get well soon this would be scary even for the bravest . I used to LOVE Rick Ross , well , as much as you can ” love” someone you don’t know . Hmmm guess I was a fan , eh ? But the way reports were saying he didn’t see his kids …. I can’t even anymore .
Praying for you Love!
My BFF’s aunt was here on vacation in FL. She fell ill and was hospitalized with no insurance here in the US. They did everything humanly possible to save her including flying in additional specialists. I have this proof that our doctors are the best. She passed away due to organ failure but she lasted way longer than she would have anywhere else, including back home. This just happened 2 weeks ago.
This world is a real… “mystery”….

?? lord have mercy
Yes, what goes around comes back around like a boomerang in motion. I mean who really has time on their hands to be bitter and twisted? Actually I take that back… there are few people out there who live/thrive off of that – crazy people.
It’s all about making money, I mean these bloggers don’t blog for fun, they blog for the $$$. If you know how to turn water to wine, you’ve got something going. I’d rather blog for fun. But then again I hate blogging and would never think about blogging or going into detail, because from experience it allows random people to stalk and troll (they do some really messed up things) to you online, thankfully their IP addresses are logged, so what they do will most of the time bounce back at them.
Mind you it’s not just Sandra Rose reported the soil it’s coming from the medical team.

I checked tmz to see if they have changed their story and at 4am they posted a new update WITH pictures saying that his family all rushed to the hospital in a panic and the mother of his daughter the one who made this post was in such a hurry to get out the car that she didn’t even close her car door tmz ended the report by saying their sources are saying the situation is dire. Like wth!! I know I’m not the only one who have noticed tmz will get these stories and the family will deny and later in most cases it turned out to be true. Now I feel like this if Lamar made it anything is possible. Still praying for Ross and his family. I know this can be hard because everyone will know that you’re loved one is in a serious condition or dying before you know or even before you all have a chance to contact the family.
idc what anyone says LIEra is a biological male
they been trying to kill Ross for a minute
Didn’t Kanye’s mother have money too? And she died from a simple breast reduction surgery….something women have all the time.
She had underlined health problems
Well it’s very true around my neck of the woods.
It’s good to know your one of the good ones. But in my neck of the woods this happens everyday.
And they still performed the surgery knowing this? Makes the theory of her being a sacrifice much more believable. Typically, before you have any surgery they run tests to ensure your health is up to par before proceeding. Guess her money didn’t make any difference here.
Was it Tom Petty? They kept saying he was dead before he actually died.
*dead*
Nipsey Hussle called it on his new album “they killed dr.sebi kuz he was teaching health..I fuck with Ross kuz he teaching wealth” yeah they’ve been trying to get him for a while now…this is so sad
Yes, the acting SUCKED. At the end, when they showed that necklace, did that mean he was suppose to be still alive?
I hope they don’t ‘Winter’ like they did ‘True To The Game’.
Someone else posted yesterday that they had had indeed spoken with him and it was as dire as TMZ reported. Nippsey reposted i
Queen Harvey hate when people call him a liar. He’s an attorney. Queen haven’t has release corpse, and all sort of receipts when people infers he lied. He gets his ‘leaked’ tea from the sources. Rick an asshole and treat women bad. For his kids sake, I want him to fight and pull through
Oh, so don’t even bother watching?
Rick is a chauvinist pig at its finest. He needs to fight and pull through for his kids sake. And make a 180
He removed the son from the woman he hates out of everything smh. The youngest child gold digging mom child won’t get none either. His sister managed his money. They him work and raise their kids.
Come through! Them Jews have reliable sources. Especially Harvey
snorting too much or drinking too much lean
damn he 42
If you are just bored, check it out. The music was alright, the acting sucked, but I’ve seen worse. Considering how popular the book was, they could’ve come with a better movie tho.
IDK why they walk around with the foam cups. It is a dead giveaway
I wanna hear it
HArvey does get that info and the sources be the professionals in the field working with the patient or criminal like when he got those pics of Rhi Rhi face that was from someone working at the police station when he get a corpse pic it be someone who worked st the funeral home or a close family member who viewed the body. Ms. Harvey wile post pics of Ross hooked up to them machines if he has to to prove a point that s why I’m sitting back on this one to see the outcome this isn’t still a sad situation
ok Meek!
My experience with Florida healthcare was positive. 2014 while on business in Tallahassee, had a ruptured ovaran cyst unbeknownst to me, don’t know what hospital I was taken to, all I know the ambulance came to the hotel. When I got to the ER, my intake process was swift, and all I know about 1.5 hour after all tests were ran, they didn’t ASK, they TOLD me….we are preparing you for surgery. There were at a minimum of 8 surgeons that took part of my surgery, woke up to a nurse holding my hand, and rubbing my head. I had to stay in the hospital where I was treated, and ATE like a queen. I felt like I was at the spa.LOL.
He has a history of seizures and cardiac disease hence the need to lose weight. Heart / lung support is a dire situation indeed. Godspeed for Rick.
TV One? So this is all a publicity stunt? ?
I told a friend the other day that everything is a stunt now. The celebrities and TMZ conspire to put out fake news to promote their shows or albums. I’m tired of it. My friend said they have to manufacture fake news to feed the Internet. Before the Internet, you had to wait for the 6 o’clock news. But the Internet is 24/7 and it has to be fed.
THe foam cups isn’t a way to hide it it’s a way of letting ppl know exactly what they are doing. BUT I’m always mindful that these ppl are entertainers and they have personas to keep up with so I thought it was one of those cases of using the cup as a prop like they do with the fake money and the jewelry . Because I’ll never forget Future dida interview he said he doesn’t pop pills or drink lean he only raps about it because that’s what ppl want to hear. So im Justin waiting for a true update. Unless they doing a Lamar Odom on him I’m still trying to figure out how that man pulled through but he did. I was sure this kartrashians was gone take him clean out!!
Doctors are known to meet the demands and desires of the wealthy even if not the best interests. Unfortunately, some doctors can be bought and it can prove fatal.
WHich is why I don’t rush to be the first to post about ANY event and in most cases I don’t post at all I recalll reading something Nicole’s wrote when she was going to stop blogging she said she got tired of all the fake pr planted information she got tired of basically lying to her readers for a check. This is why now I’m restructuring and have been for a while because I don’t want to do celebrity gossip anymore it’s all a big fake let try to keep our name out there because we have no talent . pr stunt crossed my mind auntie but I was hoping that Ross is smart enough not to play with death some stuff you just don’t put in the atmosphere! Either way something in the milk ain’t clean with this story. I did notice his baby mom posted to watch the show on her page and so did someone on rick Ross page shortly after the news broke
Somebody is lying. Cell phones are not allowed in intensive care units due to all the high-tech machinery. I’ve worked in numerous ICUs and they don’t even have bedside phones in there. The family said he wasn’t even in the hospital. Who should we believe?
A blessed experience.
I think SR was indirectly speaking to the horrors of drug abuse by posting the horrid details. Drug abuse and overdosing are not to be taken lightly. People need to know the real ugly that even celebrities can’t elude.
Come on and pull through rick ain’t nobody gonna feed me that maybach music like you! ?
Am I wrong for not having any sympathy for him? I don’t wish ‘death’ on anybody, But I also don’t owe him my prayers. He lived a very dishonorable lifestyle, and it came back on him. We all have to cash those checks we wrote eventually.
I don’t trust anything about Rick Ross he a former police officer lmao. Officer Ricky can’t fool me lol
ok you all are over doing it now he was teaching drug dealing and drinking on top of stealing someones name who was really in the streets and not a cop.
He’s fine. But I wonder if this will be a wake up call for him and the other greedy demons that he roll with. Money will not save them from the fiery pits of hell. I pray this will bring him closer to God above and his kids that he don’t want anything to do with.
I used to play that game. I used to let celebrities plant fake stories on my blog. At first I thought it was funny, but not anymore.
He teach the homo lifestyle for recording contracts. He has taken the oath. A lot of those natural healing doctors have been killed off. People better wake up.
Harvey got the inside scoop. He a j3w. He work with the gubment. Everything Harvanna say is the truth.
Rough life.
He refuse to take care of his kids.
Don’t feel bad, you’re not the only one person that feels like this. Because when you dance with the devil nothing comes good for you.
Wasnt he always getting seizures? Drinking that lean
Exactly, C.O. Turned rapper whole stole someones identity
For years, thats how the news stay in business
Yep that is how auntie was treated! Tha is fir the personal validation!??
Rite, wont surprise me he coming out with a new album talking about “near death” & the way he treats women will get swept under the rug. Nice way to clean up ur image
Or maybe its a PR stunt for ppl to forgive his bad treatment to women
these industry folks $old their souls a long time ago. its a wrap, wont serve as a wake up call to anyone, and is justice served as far as Gods law is concerned. as for the others, should he pass, they will all be glad hes out the game and theres an open platform for themselves. they will post online, make tv specials, perform musicals in his name for more acclaim and fame. this is how its done.
Everyone is talking $hit here. I like him and hope he pulls through too. He was such a sweetheart on Wendy Williams. We need you Rick!
“God forgives….I don’t.” I hope he’s repenting right about now. Get well soon!
The person who called 911
When you say Nicole are you talking about Necole Bitchie?
Look it was her time to go and that take priority over any and everything.
No I think either micheal Jackson or Nicole I forget her last name. The things that said were just distasteful
He really is a sweet hear. I like him as well. ??
yes i unfortunately know a few..so i keep my distance
Doctors don’t know everything and they make mistakes.
Yes
Lira aint no damn better that fvckin slut are u serious
Dead aš?…
I told yall, He has aids this is the same thing that the black clothing designer died from. Lost all that weight pneumonia in your lungs your dead.
Omg. Lovely. Yes. I abhor the fact I overlooked this caveat. I sincerely hope you have a life that allows your super powers to shine. ???
Amen PIMP C…holla back J
(Duck and run)
