Ray J recently performed with a heart monitor and with bleeding eyes at a concert in Shreveport, Louisiana. This performance, with the singer seen with a line of blood running down his eyes as well as a chest patch, has sparked concerns among netizens and fans online.

Some netizens felt he should stop performing in his condition and focus on his health and his loved ones. Others called it heartbreaking and sent positive feelings towards the singer. Some netizens also expressed admiration for his transparency regarding the health issues he is facing, claiming it might save other people down the line:

"Damn. That’s a cold way to live man. Heartbreaking."

One netizen reacted:

"Seeing someone perform with blood in their eyes and a heart monitor is devastating. No amount of 'the show must go on' is worth a human life. If he truly doesn't have much longer, I hope he finds peace and steps away from the stage to focus on himself and his family."

Another netizen said:

"That’s intense and heartbreaking. Performing under those conditions takes serious strength, but it also highlights how important it is to prioritize health. Sending prayers and positive energy his way. I hope he gets the care and support he needs."

A commenter opined:

"Respect to him for being real about his health struggles in an industry that chews you up. This transparency could save lives. Praying he beats the odds and drops more heat before time's up."

A reactor stated:

"That’s heavy. Wishing Ray J strength and better health. No performance is worth someone’s life."

Another commented:

"Sad moments for Ray, strength to him and his family."

The above performance and the reactions to it come after Ray J recently revealed in a livestream that he had almost died after being admitted for pneumonia and that the doctors had told him he did not have long to live in his current condition.

The singer has also revealed that he was taking eight different medications for his heart failure problem, and that he was slated for evaluation for a pacemaker or a defibrillator. Ray J is taking medications such as Lipitor, Jardiance, and Entresto, among others.


Ray J's heart is performing at 25%

In the above-mentioned livestream, Ray J mentioned that his heart was only operating at about 25% of its capacity. The singer was negative about his prognosis in the livestream, claiming he might not survive 2027.

He revealed that part of his heart was blackened, with the singer revealing that his heart was damaged and his health put in jeopardy due to his habit of having multiple bottles of alcohol every day, as well as prescription drugs, and so on. The singer was diagnosed after being rushed to the hospital for pneumonia and chest pains.

In the livestream, he also claimed that he was going to Haiti for some Voodoo ritual for his health and that he would livestream the whole process. It is unclear if the singer is still planning to go to Haiti or not.

However, after sharing in the above-mentioned livestream that he did not expect to survive till 2027, he made another Instagram video, where he stated that things were actually on the mend and that the prognosis was looking up.
