Ray J
Hospitalized With Pneumonia …
4 Years After Infection Made Him Fear for His Life

Ray J was admitted to a Las Vegas hospital last night with a severe case of pneumonia and heart pains, TMZ has learned.
A source close to the R&B singer tells TMZ … Ray J remains in the hospital where he has received X-rays and an echocardiogram … no word yet on the results.
This follows a serious case of pneumonia Ray J had four years ago during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 44-year-old “One Wish” singer was diagnosed with non-COVID pneumonia in 2021, and it was so bad, we were told Ray J thought he could die.
The bout put him on oxygen and temporarily required him to use an inhaler … but he later recovered and soon after was breathing fine again.
Three weeks ago, Ray J announced from Tampa, Florida, that he was hitchhiking across the country. It’s unclear if that’s how he traveled to Vegas or if it had anything to do with his illness.
