Ray J Rushed to Hospital During Livestream
The singer, actor and media personality has stated that he's been having issues with his heart.
Ray J experienced a medical emergency while streaming live on Thursday, Oct. 1, and was quickly rushed to the hospital, according to TMZ. The 45-year-old was broadcasting from Fab Factory via the Zeus Network on his Kick account when the incident occurred. He was accompanied by his mother, Sonja Norwood, who can be seen in the video alongside him.
Ray J appeared shirtless with medical equipment attached to his chest as firefighters and paramedics provided medical assistance. Despite the severity of the situation, he managed to walk to the stretcher independently. This is not the first time Ray J has faced health issues; earlier this year, he announced on Instagram that he had been hospitalized due to heart problems, attributing his condition to years of excessive alcohol and drug use.
He had previously been hospitalized in Las Vegas in January for severe pneumonia and heart pain, as well as in May following a fight with another celebrity, both of which were also reported by TMZ. Ray J has acknowledged that his lifestyle choices have taken a toll on his heart health, expressing regret for his past behavior.
