""Just almost died!! I'm alive because of your prayers and support!!" the singer wrote in an Instagram caption posted Sunday. "I wanna thank everyone for praying for me. I was in the hospital," he said in the accompanying video. "My heart is only beating like 25%, 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.""
""2027 is definitely a wrap for me," the 45-year-old, real name William Ray Norwood Jr., said in one video posted Tuesday, making a "cut off" motion across his neck. "No, don't say that, brother," a friend says off camera. "That's what the doctor says," Ray J replied meekly, then seemingly grew frustrated as his friend talked loudly over him and insisted he was going to live long enough to see his children's children."
"In the next clip, the singer says, "It don't matter if my days are counted. But guess what - my baby mama gonna be straight. My kids are gonna be straight. If they want to spend all the money they can spend it, but I did my part here." Then he looks up and tells his friend, "I shouldn't have went this hard, bro. I shouldn't have went hard. And then, when it's all done, burn me, don't bury me.""
Ray J was hospitalized and reported his heart is only beating at about 25 percent. He thanked supporters for their prayers and said he nearly died. He predicted that 2027 could be the end of his life, making a cutting motion across his neck and referencing a doctor's prognosis. He insisted that his children's and their mother's financial needs will be secure and said he did his part. He admitted to heavy alcohol and drug use that damaged the right side of his heart and expressed regret for going 'this hard.' He mentioned considering travel to Haiti for a potential cure.
