Thursday, January 8, 2026 - American R&B singer, Ray J, has reportedly been hospitalized in Las Vegas as he battles a “severe” case of pneumonia and heart pains.
A source close to the singer told TMZ on
Wednesday that after experiencing “heart pains,” the “Love & Hip Hop”
personality was admitted to a hospital last night, where doctors ordered an
echocardiogram and X-rays.
According to the outlet, Ray J, whose given name is William
Ray Norwood, Jr., has not yet received results.
The outlet previously reported in October
2021 that the “One Wish” hitmaker, 44, had been hospitalized in Miami with
the same illness.
The musician said he was admitted into the COVID-19 wing of
the hospital, assuming his ailment stemmed from the pandemic illness.
“I thought it was over,” he told TMZ, adding that he
“started praying and knew God is good so I just kept praying.”
He also explained that after 2 days and several negative
COVID tests, he was removed from the COVID wing. He was discharged later that
month.
Sources told the outlet at the time that the musician
thought his “busy schedule” and “constant travel” were culprits in the illness,
and noted that he “realized he needs to take care of his health” following the
scare.
They added that the “Wait a Minute” hitmaker feared for his
life and was “thankful” to have recovered.
