Rick Ross Speaks On Lil’ Wayne Health Issues

Naturally, Rick Ross was able to vibe with VIBE on the matter of health among one of his peers, given that he’s had a couple of seizures himself:

“Yeah…that’s the homie, I had a few words with Birdman and it’s all positive,” he said on Wayne’s status.

Given his own battle with balancing work and life, Ross said it’s about prioritizing. “It’s just all about putting yourself first and we always reiterate that with each other: ‘Get rest,’” he said. “Sometimes, your desire can overwhelm the things you know that are right for you.”
