Singer and actor Ray J has shared a new health update after recently claiming he has only months to live.
“2027 is definitely a wrap for me,” the R&B singer said during a January 2026 Instagram Live, later reposted on X (formerly Twitter). The video surfaced after TMZ reported he had been hospitalized in Las Vegas with heart issues and pneumonia.
“I want to thank everybody for praying for me,” he said in the clip shared Jan. 25. “I was in a hospital. My heart’s only beating like 25%… My health is not okay, so I thank everybody for supporting and praying for me.”
Although he claimed in the livestream that doctors told him he had months to live, Ray J later walked that back. In a follow‑up Instagram video, he said “everything will be all right” as long as he stays “on the right path.”
