R&B singer and reality TV star Ray J was rushed to the hospital Thursday after suffering a medical emergency in the middle of a livestream.
The frightening incident reportedly happened while Ray J was streaming from Fab Factory. During the broadcast, Ray J began experiencing health problems, prompting someone at the location to contact emergency responders.
Fire department personnel and an ambulance were called to the scene, and Ray J was eventually transported to a hospital for further medical attention.
Video from the livestream reportedly showed Ray J shirtless and lying on a gurney while paramedics attended to him. Medical equipment could also be seen attached to his chest as emergency personnel worked to assist him.
Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood, was reportedly also present during the livestream when the medical emergency unfolded.
According to TMZ, sources described the situation as involving possible heart-related issues. However, the exact nature of Ray J’s medical emergency has not been publicly confirmed, and there has been no official announcement detailing his current condition.
TMZ also reported that the emergency call was strictly medical and that there was nothing suspicious surrounding the incident.
The latest health scare comes after Ray J has publicly dealt with serious health concerns throughout 2026.
Earlier this year, the singer was hospitalized in Las Vegas after experiencing heart pain and a severe case of pneumonia. At the time Ray J underwent testing, including X-rays and an echocardiogram.
Ray J later spoke publicly about his health and made several alarming statements about his condition. In January, he claimed that his heart was functioning at only a fraction of its normal capacity and said doctors had warned him about the seriousness of his condition. He also claimed that doctors had discussed the possibility of him needing a pacemaker or defibrillator.
The singer has also previously discussed his past alcohol and substance use while talking about his health struggles. Those comments were part of his own public accounts of what he believed contributed to his medical problems.
Now, fans are once again concerned after watching Ray J need emergency medical attention in the middle of a livestream.
The situation is also connected to his ongoing streaming marathon, which reports has involved Ray J pushing himself through a 180-day streaming subathon known as “Rayhab.” Sources told the outlet that he has reportedly been staying awake for long stretches while continuing to stream.
For now, fans are waiting for more information about Ray J’s condition.
Neither his exact diagnosis nor the results of the latest hospital evaluation have been publicly released at the time of this report. Until more information comes directly from Ray J, his family, or medical representatives, reports about the severity of the situation remain unconfirmed.
Ray J, whose real name is William Raymond Norwood Jr., has remained active in entertainment for decades as a singer, actor, entrepreneur and reality television personality. He is known for songs including “One Wish” and “Sexy Can I,” as well as appearances on reality television.
Today’s hospitalization has once again placed the spotlight on his health and left fans concerned about what happened behind the scenes during the livestream.
