Ray J shared a health update on social media after revealing his heart condition. Previously, he told fans that his “heart is only beating like 25%”. He said, “But as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, everything will be all right.” The singer was hospitalized for a severe case of pneumonia earlier this month.
Ray J's new video after hospitalization goes viral
In a new Instagram live video, Ray said that he has only months to live. The video has now gone viral on social media.
“2027 is definitely a wrap for me,” he said. "That’s what they say.”
“My health is not OK," he added.
In the video, a friend of Ray's objects and tells him not to “say that” and “f–k the doctor." The singer, seemingly defeated, put his head in his hands.
Ray J also pointed to his heart and said the right side is “black… It’s like done.”
He blamed excessive substance use for his health issues and said, “I fu**ed up.”
“I thought… I could handle all the alcohol, I could handle all the Adderall, I could handle all the drugs, but I couldn’t,” the singer said. He talked about planning a trip to Haiti in two weeks to “do some voodoo,” and thanked his sister, the singer and actor Brandy, for paying the hospital bills “for the rest of the year.”
“I shouldn’t have went this hard, bro,” he said, continuing, “My baby mama gonna be straight, my kids gonna be straight, if they wanna spend all the money, they can spend it. I did my part here.”
“And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me,” he added.
Who is Ray J?
Born William Ray Norwood Jr., Ray became popular in the late 90s with his single One Wish. He also appeared on reality TV shows, including Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood and his own programme, For the Love of Ray J.
In 2007, he hit headlines and landed in a controversy after the release of his sex tape with ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
Ray J's health
On Sunday, Ray updated on his health, claiming that he “almost died.”
“My heart is only beating like 25%, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, then everything will be all right, so thank you for all your prayers,” he shared in detail.
Ray’s health scare came shortly after he landed in legal trouble. In November last year, police arrested him after he allegedly pointed a gun at his estranged wife, Princess Love, with whom he has two kids.
He also continues to be in a legal dispute with Kardashian and Kris Jenner in connection with a settlement agreement surrounding the sex tape.
