Ray J's onstage blood moment fuels health controversy
Ray J’s Shreveport performance featured a moment that appeared to show blood streaming from his eyes and a visible chest device, as he has said doctors told him his heart is failing with only months to live. Some observers believe the blood was a theatrical effect, while others note his health claims and eight prescribed medications. Doctors reportedly advised bed rest and avoiding alcohol, and Ray J has suggested he might need a pacemaker or defibrillator as heart damage from heavy substance use is cited.
