Ray J, the 45-year-old rap artist better known as William Ray Norwood Jr., raised alarms about his health following a performance on February 14 in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he claimed he has only months to live. Earlier this year, he had disclosed that he nearly died and that his heart is functioning at only 25%. He revealed he contracted pneumonia and expressed doubt about living to see 2027.

On February 15, a video was shared on the social media platform X, showing Ray J performing for an audience. The footage raised concerns as it seemed blood was leaking from beneath his sunglasses. He later removed his shirt, revealing a medical device attached to his chest, suggesting serious health issues. Despite the alarming visuals, communication with Ray J's representatives to comment on his wellbeing has not been established.

This troubling performance and the release of the video have sparked discussions about the rapper's deteriorating health. Alongside Ray J at the concert were fellow artists Kelly Price and Bobby V, who may also be drawn into the narrative as fans and media express concern over Ray J's condition, which draws attention to the risks and challenges faced by artists in maintaining their health amidst the pressures of performance.
