Todays is not a good day for Ricky Rozay.

E! News has learned that Maybach Music Group rapper Rick Ross has suffered his second seizure today, after reporting that Ross had an episode on a flight from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. to Memphis this afternoon.

The performer was reportedly "100 percent OK," after the first medical scare and ready to proceed with his flight to Tennessee.

Apparently not.

Just two hours ago, Ross tweeted, "#Memphis here I come... http://www.twitvid.com/L5EHL," with a twit video of him boarding the private jet and a message to fans promoting his latest album that's soon-to-be released.

But shortly after, the plane was diverted and landed in Alabama after Rick had a seizure on board.

A representative for Birmingham Shuttlesworth Airport confirms, "There was a private plane that was routed here for medical purposes. This plane didn't go through our main terminal. We have a fixed based operator called Atlantic Aviation that handles our general aviation (private planes)."

Atlantic Aviation tells E! News, "No one is at liberty to discuss this."

The Fox affiliate in Memphis tweeted that Yo Gotti will perform in Ross' place for the event Memphis Madness.
