Nationwide — R&B singer and actor Ray J was recently rushed to a Las Vegas hospital after suffering from severe pneumonia and heart pain. Doctors are monitoring him closely as he undergoes tests to assess his condition.
The 44-year-old singer has a history of serious lung issues. Four years ago, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he battled non-COVID pneumonia that was so severe he feared for his life. At the time, he needed oxygen and an inhaler, but later fully recovered.
According to TMZ, Ray J is currently undergoing X-rays and an echocardiogram, though no results have been released. Medical staff are keeping a careful watch on both his lungs and heart.
Weeks ago, Ray J announced he was hitchhiking across the country, starting from Tampa, Florida. It’s unclear whether his travels played a role in his current illness or how he reached Las Vegas.
Fans have taken to social media to share messages of support, while his team has not provided a discharge timeline, stressing that his health comes first.
