TMZ reports Ray J was “hospitalized” after being knocked out by YouTuber Supa Hot Fire during a celebrity MMA match on Saturday.
The outlet reports Ray J checked himself into a Las Vegas hospital for unknown reasons. He was out of shape before the fight and struggled to catch his breath afterwards.
The source tells TMZ Ray J has been in the hospital for two days and doctors are running tests to figure out what is wrong.
The 45-year-old “Let it Go” singer was knocked out in the 2nd round in front of fellow singer Chris Brown and other celebrity guests.

The referee immediately stopped the fight and declared Supa Hot Fire the winner. Afterwards, Ray J claimed the fight was “rigged” for him to win.

Ray J suggested that Supa Hot Fire knocked him out too early. “You know how much money we lost?” he said.
Back in January, Ray J claimed he only had months to live after he was hospitalized with pneumonia. He also said he was in heart failure and “2027 is definitely a wrap for me.”
Weeks later, he performed in concert with fake blood dripping down his face.
The live-streamer is known to exaggerate and has a history of publicity stunts for attention.
