Rick Ross has finally revealed what led to his 2018 hospitalization and near-death experience after he suffered seizures

The 43-year-old rapper sat down with People magazine to talk about his new autobiography titled “Hurricanes.” The book details his life, childhood, rap beefs, stardom, and his battles.

According to him, the inspiration for the book came after his 2018 hospitalization for a major seizure that changed his life.

“When I woke up in the hospital and I had so many people around me, so many homies, it felt like I was in V.I.P. or some s—,” he said. “But it was more like ‘Damn, we gotta do some special things.’

“It was the codeine. That mixed with the things I was drinking, the other drugs I was doing, and on top of not resting. [I don’t think] one particular thing would have killed me. But everything combined?”
