According to The Sun report, American singer and reality television personality Ray J has disclosed that doctors informed him he may have only one month to live following a recent hospitalisation linked to heart complications.


The 45-year-old entertainer, whose real name is William Ray Norwood Jr., shared the information in a video posted on social media after receiving medical treatment for pneumonia and heart pain. In the video, Ray J said his doctors warned him about the severity of his condition, adding that his heart is functioning at approximately 25 percent capacity.


During the recording, the singer appeared visibly emotional as he described the diagnosis and suggested that his future was uncertain. He attributed his deteriorating health to years of excessive partying and heavy alcohol consumption, acknowledging that his lifestyle choices had caused lasting damage.


Ray J also revealed plans to travel to Haiti in the coming weeks in search of alternative treatment options that could potentially extend his life. He thanked his parents and his sister, fellow singer Brandy, noting that she has been supporting him financially with medical expenses.


Earlier in January, Ray J was hospitalised in Las Vegas after experiencing severe pneumonia and heart-related pain. The incident followed a similar health scare several years ago that required oxygen support.
