Ray J claims he doesn’t have long to live amid health battle: ‘2027 is a wrap for me’

Ray J is claiming he doesn’t have much longer to live.
“2027 is definitely a wrap for me,” the 45-year-old said in a video clip shared to social media Tuesday night. “That’s what they say.”
As a friend in the video protested and told him not to “say that” and “f–k the doctor,” the singer defeatedly put his head in his hands.

“I shouldn’t have went this hard, bro,” he lamented, adding, “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.”
“And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me,” he directed.
The singer then gave a shoutout to his parents and sister Brandy, who have allegedly helped him by taking him to the doctor and paying his bills “for the rest of the year.”

Ray J — whose real name is William Raymond Norwood Jr. — gave an update on his health Sunday, sharing in another social media video that he “almost died.”
“My heart is only beating like 25 percent, 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,” he explained.
A rep for Ray J did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
This comes on the heels of news earlier this month that he’d been suffering yet another health scare.
A source told TMZ on Jan. 7 that the “Love & Hip Hop” personality was admitted to a hospital with a severe case of pneumonia after experiencing “heart pains.”

The outlet previously reported in October 2021 that the “One Wish” hitmaker had been hospitalized in Miami with the same illness.
Amid his health battle, it has been a tumultuous time for the singer both personally and legally.
After claiming he was building a racketeering case with the feds against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner in September, the reality TV stars hit back by suing him for defamation and blasting his “blatantly false” allegations and “calculated falsehoods” in court documents obtained by Page Six.
Ray J, who doubled down on his accusations that Jenner and Kardashian were behind the former couple’s infamous sex tape leak, countersued them and accused them of lying for decades about the 2007 video.

Kardashian and Jenner’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, called the move “frivolous” in a November statement to Page Six.
In December, Ray J was arrested after allegedly brandishing a gun on estranged wife Princess Love and threatening to shoot a man in a Thanksgiving livestream.
