Ray J Hospitalized in Las Vegas With Pneumonia and Heart Pain

Ray J was admitted to a Las Vegas hospital late last night after suffering from a severe case of pneumonia along with heart-related pain, according to a source close to the singer.

The 44-year-old R&B star, best known for his hit song One Wish, is still hospitalized as doctors run a series of tests. He has reportedly undergone X-rays and an echocardiogram, though the results have not yet been made public.

This health scare is especially concerning given Ray J’s past medical history. Four years ago, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he battled a serious case of pneumonia that left him fearing for his life. Although that illness was later confirmed to be non-COVID pneumonia, it was severe enough to require oxygen support and the temporary use of an inhaler. He eventually recovered and was able to breathe normally again.

More recently, Ray J raised eyebrows just weeks ago when he announced from Tampa, Florida, that he was hitchhiking across the country. It’s unclear whether that journey brought him to Las Vegas or if the travel played any role in his current condition.

For now, fans and friends are waiting for updates as doctors continue to monitor his condition. Ray J remains under medical care, and no timeline has been shared for his release from the hospital.
