Ray J Hospitalized in Las Vegas With Severe Pneumonia and Chest Pain

Doctors are evaluating chest pain linked to pneumonia with test results still pending.

Overview

  • The 44-year-old singer was admitted on January 6 after experiencing heart and chest pains, with X-rays and an echocardiogram ordered, according to multiple reports citing TMZ.
  • He remains under hospital care in Las Vegas as of the latest reports, and no official medical update from his team has been released.
  • Ray J previously battled a severe non-COVID pneumonia in 2021 in Miami, saying he feared for his life and required oxygen and an inhaler during recovery.
  • The health scare comes during a turbulent period that includes a defamation suit from Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner and his countersuit, a late-November arrest tied to an alleged firearm incident, and a separate American Express debt claim.
  • Weeks before the hospitalization, he promoted a hitchhiking project on social media and more recently advertised a January 18 event in Austin, though posts offered no details on his condition.
