Ray J Health Concerns Erupt
Ray J eerily predicted his death was near after revealing his heart had gone 'black' earlier this year.
Health concerns surrounding the "Another Day in Paradise" hitmaker erupted after TMZ reported Ray J had been hospitalized post-matchup.
Earlier this year, Ray J predicted he didn't have much longer to live, claiming he was dying with a "black" heart after years of drug and alcohol abuse
"2027 is definitely a wrap for me," he claimed back in January.
"I want to thank everybody for praying for me. I was in a hospital. My heart's only beating like 25 percent, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, everything will be all right," he elaborated. “My health is not OK, so I thank everybody for supporting and praying for me."
