Just a day after breaking his silence about that headline-grabbing hospitalization for pneumonia and severe chest pains, Ray J (born Willie Norwood Jr.) – who reported his heart was only functioning at “25%” – followed up with news the doctors gave him “weeks to live.”
“This is my last stream of all time. I’m going to keep it real, I’m not even gassing y’all – this is it,” he shared with viewers of Monday night’s social media livestream.
Elsewhere during the shocking admission, a somber Norwood – who appeared to be inebriated – thanked his friends, fans, and family for supporting him over the years, particularly shouting out his award-winning sister Brandy for “paying his bills.”
“I’m not supposed to drink, but it doesn’t matter. That’s it for me,” Ray revealed. “It doesn’t matter. Time tells everything, and they [the doctors] gave me my time. I’m not going to tell y’all when but it’s sooner than later – sooner than February.”
Before the conclusion of the livestream, the 45-year-old singer-actor-reality star clarified he was given “three weeks to live” despite not sharing the exact date of the alleged diagnosis.

He needs serious help. He’s not dying just desperate for attention. If he has little time left go apologize to princess and be with your kids. Lmk when he’s gone
Dont give up on life RayJ, I have a heart condition, and still alive and doing well on medication, and I have a heart difliberator in my heart ❤️ heart condition doesn’t always mean death
Ray J is so unserious, desperate for virality and attention, and stunt-queen-esque to the point that you don’t know what’s the truth and what’s the lie. I haven’t seen his medical records, but if I know Ray J then this is probably for attention. We will see in a few weeks.
I really hope that in some sick twisted way this is just a ploy for attention and that his health isn’t this grave. Prayers up for the brother.
This is the result from drugs, alcohol and loads of raw s**.
Ray J sorry for your latest medical diagnosis. Shouldn’t you now be focusing on your children if this is truly what is going on in your life.
