Mayback Music Group artist Fat Trel has provided an update on label boss Rick Ross, who was reportedly admitted to a Miami-area hospital on Thursday (March 2).
“JUS TALKED 2 MY BIG HOMIE… HE GOOD… HE IN DA HOSPITAL BUT HE IS NOT ON “LIFE SUPPORT” … HE GOOD,” Trel posted on Instagram, tagging Ross and hashtagging #MMG.
This is the first official word on Ross since reports emerged that he’d been rushed to the hospital after a possible heart attack and unnamed sources told TMZ he’d been put on “a form of life support.”
Many members of the Hip Hop community had sent prayers out for Ross after the news broke.

After Rick Ross was taken to a Miami hospital on Thursday morning (March 1), sources close to the Hip Hop mogul are now reportedly saying the situation has gotten worse. According to TMZ, machines are taking over the function of his lungs and heart.
TMZ was told doctors have put him on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which oxygenates the blood outside of the body before it’s pumped back in. It’s described as “a form of life support.”
The Maybach Music Group head honcho was found unresponsive around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday morning after a person at his Miami mansion called 911 and said he was “slobbing” at the mouth. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance and reportedly received respiratory treatment for suspected pneumonia.
But because he was reportedly taken to the cardio unit, there’s a chance he suffered a heart attack that manifested itself as a respiratory problem.
Ross has experienced health problems in the past, including two seizures on two different flights on the same day in 2011.

Rick Ross is reportedly at a local hospital after someone at his Miami residence called 911. According to TMZ, the call came in around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday (March 1). A police source reported that the person in distress was initially unresponsive and became combative once revived.
The caller reportedly said the person in distress had a history of seizures and was “slobbing” at the mouth. After arriving to the hospital by ambulance, he reportedly received respiratory treatment for what could be pneumonia. A source close to Rozay explained to TMZ the medical issue is heart-related.
While it’s reported Ross was unable to make a requested appearance on Thursday night, a family member is said to have denied he’s in the hospital.
Ross has wrestled with health problems in the past. In 2011, he suffered two major seizures on two different flights to Memphis on the same day.
Aww man… hang on in there, Rozay! Get well.
Dam homey, he was recently gettin his fitness on. Pray for him. Hope it ain’t too late.
Fat cop
Not 1 tear for this pig snitch
Ive been hard as F on Rick in the past because of my own troubles. I hope he gets better.
@ MASTER….”Because of my own troubles”???
Or keep sippin lean we ever gonna fuckin learn?
It honestly might just be the weed and alcohol. Being obese and doing just that shit alone can kill you.
Dont forget the wingstop!
lol that is not funny.
Yeah its the weed LOL not the lean that slows your respiratory system down. You’re a god damn moron if you think weed gives you seizures and heart attacks. It’s from xanax or lean along with pain killers.
Blessings to Rozay. Health is serious
Hate his music. Hope he doesn’t die.
Not a fan but I don’t wish death on him. Hope he pulls through somehow. Could have been an OD, dude’s always let it known he fucks with coke and lean.
Either it’s the drugs or the streets finally had that talk with him. Either way, I hope he makes it.
Birdman somewhere rubbing his hands together slowly
This reminds me of the Quincy Jones connection with biggie and pac. I mean think about it, Wayne and rozay both talk hot shit about birdman and both have had these problems especially on flights. They better leave birdman alone.
May God bring you thru this health situation Get Well Soon!!!!!!!!!!
in Miami when someone says he’s good that means he’s in critical condition
Die slow u fat piece of shit cop
Hope the homie is good no doubt. #MMG
I guess his kidneys failed!
The problem is that Ross has been dealing with health issues but he keeps eating the same crap. Chill with the Wings homie
he a junkie homie
He’s all about the Pears now
publicity stunt from the biggest fraud
Which Rick Ross? The drug dealer or the CO?
His last album almost killed me too
No rapper is above good health. He should name his next album The New Diet Plan and tour with a fitness coach. Perform on a treadmill on stage.
The clown Rosenburg is funny. After all of his negative energy he throws around, his phony ass is talking about send prayers. Hate people like that.
Also, TMZ is so reckless as usual. ECMO isn’t a form of life support. It’s like if you get dialysis for your kidneys….that’s not life support, it’s a treatment for a specific problem.
“I guess his kidneys failed”
NO He’s ‘not good’, he’s a FAT FRAUD! Officer Ricky – the FAKE Rick Ross’s KARMA is catchin’ up! He DESERVES to be takin’ a DIRT NAP all the Bullsh*t he’s done, LIES, Fake Drug Stories WHILE Being a COP! F*CK weak meek, fat f*ck trel and ALL the clowns, idiots and frauds in his circle, ALL FRAUDS! His sales have PLUMMETED, he’s desperate for a ‘story’……KARMA Gonna Finish him, like Marion ‘Suga Bear’ Knight and ALL the other DEVILS, THIEVES and PARASITES! #StickFakeRossHeDONE
-peter griffin laugh-
Damn man, Why don’t you tell us how you really feel about Rozay? Does he owe you some money or sumthin’?
@the truth is you same “the truth” that be on allhiphop.com with the passionate ass rants especially when it comes to ross and mmg? Lol! Chill man, it aint that deep.
YAAAAAA!!!! Good people really shoot people and deal drugs to their community to handicap it for generations to come. How can we respect somebody who doesn’t pillage their own community? We want destruction of our own so we can blame somebody else for it and continue the cycle, while ridiculing people who don’t want to destroy our community and make them feel less “black” than the rest of us.
Everybody be praying when somebody dying…..wtf? Clasp your hands together and close your eyes…. Now start saying a prayer for wings and jump off a fucking cliff and tell me if it works.
Well, people also can’t open this dude up and fix him. So out of respect they give the cliche saying of “prayers”…It’s like saying thank you when someone holds a door for you. Stop being a fuckin moron and acting like you don’t understand. Everybody knows you can’t say “prayers” and the muthafucka is healed.
Hey Ross
I have listeningbtonyour songs recently
And guess what? They give me motivation.
So get up from there and get back to Studio.
You ain’t dying yet Dude.
Congrats You made it.

tmz is now saying he’s close to death
Man. Everybody want to see a falling star. I hope this man pulls through, I don’t want to see anyone die. On a music note, I’m from Miami, I enjoy his art. But damn y’all are some real fucking haters man.
