On Monday, March 5, the Maybach Music Founder was released from the hospital and is now home receiving home care. As previously reported, on Thursday, March 1 Ross was found unresponsive, breathing heavily and slobbering at the mouth.

There have been conflicting reports about what landed the rapper in the hospital; one source claims it was pneumonia, another insider claims it was heart issues. His close friends and family however have adamantly disputed claims that he was on life support.

No additional details have been released.
