During his hosting gig at the 2026 BET Awards, Druski referenced the earlier claims that Ray J made about his health. The “Another Day in Paradise” rapper had previously said that he had months to live after he was hospitalized for pneumonia and heart issues.
“But seriously, why you lie to us, man? I thought you was gon’ be dead,” Druski said to Ray J during the 2026 BET Awards, “I’mma get away from you, man. Ray J, you know that’s wrong, man. You lied to all of us! I was praying for you and everything. We was rooting for you!”
Earlier this year, Ray J was hospitalized for pneumonia and heart pains. He also suffered from pneumonia in 2021. He later spoke out about his health and indicated that he would not be able to survive much longer. The rapper also told his fans that he “almost died” following the hospitalization. He also claimed that 2027 could be a “wrap” for him.
Despite these health issues, Ray J recently got in the ring with internet personality Supa Hot Fire for an amateur MMA fight in Las Vegas, where he was defeated by knockout. Later, he was hospitalized for a concussion and said that he isn’t going to give up on his MMA career despite the disappointing performance in the fight.
There have been multiple speculations over Ray J’s health online in recent months. His mother, Sonja Norwood, addressed his issues and asserted that it is not a “hoax.”
