Ray J Performs With Apparent Eye Bleeding and Chest Patch at Valentine’s Day Show

The display follows his own claims that doctors warned of severe heart problems with his heart function at 25%.

Overview

  • Video from the Feb. 14 concert in Shreveport shows red fluid running from one eye as the singer later reveals a dressing on the upper left side of his chest.
  • It remains unclear whether the eye bleeding was an injury or a stage effect, with no official confirmation from his team and clips showing him later saying he felt fine.
  • The appearance comes after a January hospitalization in Las Vegas for severe pneumonia and chest pain, which he discussed in a livestream where he said he "almost died."
  • Reporting attributed to TMZ says doctors put him on multiple heart medications, warned of possible need for a pacemaker or defibrillator, and advised rest pending follow-up.
  • Ahead of the show he wrote that he was "putting [his] life on the line for this show," and onstage he told the crowd he was advised not to attend but performed anyway.
