Rapper
Rick Ross, nicknamed "The Boss," was scheduled to perform tonight at
FedExForum in Memphis as part of its free Memphis Madness event.
The
event, to be televised live on Fox, marks the University of Memphis' first
official practice for the 2011-12 basketball season.
But
TMZ is reporting that Ross, 35, has collapsed on a plane from Ft. Lauderdale to
Memphis. He was unconscious and a doctor performed CPR on him while on the
plane, which made an emergency landing. Ross was taken to a hospital.
After the plane landed, EMTs continued to
administer CPR to Ross on a gurney at the airport. It is currently unclear as
to when Ross was revived and the extent to which his life was in danger, but
the rap mogul is apparently okay.
Ross,
who is currently preparing for the release of his fifth studio album, is also
slated to make an appearance at a Wingstop Memphis, for a grand opening event
on Saturday
Tweets have emerged from rapper and close
friend Wale as well as Ross himself that he is doing just fine.
