Ray J claims he only has a few months to live because of a “black” heart, at just 45 years old.
Ray J is giving a heartbreaking report. The "Sexy Can I" singer went into additional detail about his present health after disclosing that he was just admitted to the hospital due to pneumonia, stating that he doesn't think he will be alive in 2027.
In an Instagram broadcast on January 27, Ray J declared, "2027 is definitely a wrap for me," before pointing to his heart. "This is black. This is, like, done."
The rapper continued by discussing how his illness worsened to the point where he "almost died" while in the hospital.

"I f--ked up," Ray J clarified. "I think I thought I had more weight. I thought I was big so I could handle all the alcohol, I could handle all the Adderall, I could handle all the drugs—but I couldn't. It curved my time here."
Before his health emergency, the 45-year-old admitted that we were taking "10 Addys" and drank "like four or five bottles a day."
"I'm like, 'Ain't nothing happening to me,'" he added. "I'm undestructible."
Ray J, who dated Kim Kardashian in the early aughts, revealed earlier this week that his heart is "only beating 25 percent," but he expressed optimism that he will eventually get well.
“As long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, everything will be all right," he stated in an Instagram video posted on January 25. "My health is not OK, so I thank everybody for supporting and praying for me through everything I've been in the hospital."
Ray J, who has a 7-year-old daughter named Melody and a 5-year-old boy named Epik with his ex-girlfriend Princess Love, is thankful for all the support he has received from fans and his family, especially his sister Brandy and his parents, Sonja and Willie Norwood.
"My momma and my daddy coming to pick me up tomorrow and they're gonna take me to the checkup," he posted on his Instagram Live. "Shoutout to my momma and daddy, and shoutout to Brandy for looking out for me."
He went on to say, "My sister paid my bills for me for the rest of the year. That's crazy."
