Ray J claims he has less than a year to live due to health issues

Ray J has claimed that his doctors have informed him that he has less than a year to live due to health concerns. 

The 45-year-old shared a health update after he was rushed to the emergency room in Las Vegas earlier this month when he was experiencing chest pains and battling a severe case of pneumonia. 

The singer explained that his heart is 'only beating 25 per cent' of full capacity after he was hospitalized and 'almost died' from the illness.

Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriend of sex tape infamy took to Instagram earlier this week to share a video updating his fans and thanking them for their support.

In between promoting his reality shows, he dropped a bombshell about his health and predicted that he does not have long to live.

At one point during the clip, he said: '2027 is definitely a wrap for me. That's what [the doctors] say.'    

He said that he was told to take better of his body following the health scare, and added:  'I shouldn't have went this hard, bro.' 

Ray J also talked about what he wanted to leave behind for his estranged wife Princess Love and his children. 

He and the actress shared daughter Melody, who was born in 2018, and son Epik, who was born in 2020. 

Ray J said: '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.' 

He continued: 'And d***, when it's all done, burn me. Don't bury me.'

During the clip, he also expressed his gratitude to his parents for taking him to the doctor's and to his sister Brandy as she 'paid my bills for me for the rest of the year.' 

Over the weekend, he also shared another post and told his fans that he 'almost died' when he was in the hospital. 

'My heart is only beating like 25 per cent, 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.' 

In his video, he also jumped right into discussing his TV shows and his intention to get right back to work.

At the beginning of January, a source close to Ray J told TMZ that he was hospitalized and doctors ordered an echocardiogram and X-rays as he was experiencing chest pains. 

He has faced health concerns for many years and was also once hospitalized in October 2021. 

At the time, he was also ill with pneumonia and 'thought he could die,' an insider said at the time. 

Shortly before his recent bout of illness, he was arrested for allegedly pulling a gun on his estranged wife. 

The couple have had an on-and-off relationship as early as 2014. They got married in 2016 and, over the years, the couple have filed for divorce four times.
