Ray J shocked fans when he performed a Valentine’s Day concert with fake blood dripping down his face in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Cell phone video shows the “One Wish” singer coming out onstage with fake blood dripping down his face. He also opened his orange prison jumpsuit to show a small Zio patch cardiac monitor stuck to his chest.
The tiny device sticks on the skin with adhesive. It monitors the heart for arrhythmias and rapid or slow heartbeats.
It is not a portable defibrillator, it’s a diagnostic tool to help his doctor determine whether he has a heart problem.
As for the “blood” streaming down his face – that’s just food dye or food coloring.
Ray J’s latest stunt happened nearly a month after he claimed he was in heart failure and his heart was only pumping at 25% functional capacity.
“My heart is only beating like 25 percent, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, then everything will be all right, so thank you for all your prayers,” he said in a livestream video.
He also claimed he only had “months” to live after he was hospitalized with a “severe case of pneumonia” in January.
“2027 is definitely a wrap for me,” the singer/actor said in a video clip on January 25.
But fans called him out on his stunt. They noted that his signs and symptoms didn’t match the words coming out of his mouth.
A patient who is in heart failure would not have the physical or respiratory capacity to perform on stage every night.
The 45-year-old streamer is known to exaggerate and has a history of publicity stunts for attention.
