 TMZ has learned … Rick Ross‘ private jet made an emergency landing in Birmingham, Alabama, 2 hours ago, en route to his concert in Memphis … and we found out he suffered a further seizure.

It’s the second time today where a plane in which the rapper was a passenger made an emergency landing.  We ruined the tale … Rick suffered a seizure this morning on a Delta flight that returned to the Ft. Lauderdale airport.

Rick went to the hospital, was released, and then took off at 5:07 PM ET from Ft. Lauderdale to make his concert  tonight in Memphis. But at 5:44 PM CDT, the plane was diverted and landed in Birmingham after Rick had a seizure on board.

Rick is currently in a Birmingham hospital emergency room.  We do not know his shape up.

Before Rick took off from Ft. Lauderdale, he tweeted a video showing he was ok.

Rick was supposed to be on stage in Memphis at 7:30 PM ET.

5:05 PM PST: Sources tell TMZ, rapper Yo Gotti — who was originally supposed to perform with Rick Ross in Memphis tonight — will now perform solo.

4:47 PM PST: We’ve just confirmed with the hospital that Rick is in STABLE shape up.

Soulja Boy — along with several members of his inner circle — perpetuated a lie about purchasing a million G5 jet … at least that’s what a spokesperson for Soulja is now saying. 

Before this week, TMZ spoke with Soulja, a member of his management team named Shai Storm and Soulja’s assistant — who all verified Soulja dropped the cash on the private jet as a 21st birthday gift to himself. 

In fact, Soulja even went on a radio show days gone by in Miami — after TMZ’s tale posted — and when questioned if he bought the plane, coyly told the DJ he was “G5 status” … but by no means said the tale was fake.  

Now, Soulja’s “spokesperson” Greg Miller has issued a statement on behalf of the rapper … saying the “elaborate rumors” are “not right.”

Amusing, because when our reporter spoke with Soulja before this week — and questioned him frankly, he responded, “Hell yeah … I bought it.”

Sadly, so did we.

Since Miller’s statement, TMZ has made dozens of calls to Shai Storm — but he hasn’t picked up. Storm did return a text message saying he was instructed that all media relations are now going through Miller.

Soulja Boy doesn’t know the meaning of the word recession — because TMZ has learned, the 21-year-ancient rapper is dropping MILLION on a new private jet.

A member of Soulja’s management team tells us … the kid bought himself a G5 jet as a birthday bestow to himself this week.

The jet cost mil … but that’s just the beginning. We’re told the birthday boy is dropping an additional million to pimp out his ride with all sorts of cool stuff … like 12 custom Italian leather seats, flat screen TVs, 4 liquor bars, a special travertine cemented floor, and Brazilian hardwood cabinets.

We’re told S.B. is also gutting the in-flight lavatory — and replacing it with a giant, LUXURIOUS bathroom. Oh, he’s also giving the jet a custom paint job … to include his logo.

And if that’s not enough for someone’s 21st — we’re told Soulja’s also spending 0,000 to throw himself a blowout birthday party at a Miami nightclub tonight … and Dwight Howard, Bow Wow, and Sean Kingston are all expected to concentrate.

Kids these days.
