Ross, who was scheduled to appear at a Univ. of Memphis basketball event Friday night, tweeted: “Memphis, here I come,” following the incident.
The rapper hopped aboard a private jet to Memphis, but it was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Birmingham, Ala. when he suffered another medical problem.
“On his way to Memphis, he had to make another emergency landing in Birmingham,” Univ. of Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner said Friday in front of the crowd Ross was unable to entertain. “He got really sick again, and they had to rush him to the emergency room.”
WMC-TV in Memphis reported that Ross suffered a medical seizure and had been hospitalized. The news station said the University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital would not comment on his condition.
