Fat Trel says Rick Ross is in better condition than what was reported.

Earlier in the day, news broke out that Rick Ross was in the hospital due to what was reported as pneumonia. Concerns rose considering his health concerns over the past few years. A few hours later, there were reports that the rapper was placed on life support with a machine hooked up to him to help the functions of his lungs and heart. It was reported that it wasn't pneumonia but a heart attack. However, it seems like these reports may not be true, according to MMG signee Fat Trel.

Shortly after news broke that Ross was on life support, Fat Trel hit Instagram to set the record straight. He said that Ross is indeed in the hospital but he's not on life support and that he's good.

"JUS TALKED 2 MY BIG HOMIE... HE GOOD... HE IN DA HOSPITAL BUT HE IS NOT ON “LIFE SUPPORT” ... HE GOOD," he captioned the photo.

Trel's been signed to Rick Ross for a few years so it's good to know that he's not on life support right now and that he's in better condition than what was reported.

Rick Ross' health issues have been well documented over the past few years. The rapper's suffered some serious seizures in the past that prompted him to start taking better care of his health and slim down. 

Trel's update is definitely a relief. Hopefully, Rick Ross gets out of the hospital soon. Our prayers are with Ross and his family right now.
