This is not the first time Ray J has dealt with pneumonia-related complications. In October 2021, he was hospitalized in Miami after falling seriously ill and was initially placed in a COVID-19 wing due to concerns that the virus may have been the cause. At the time, he later revealed that multiple COVID tests came back negative and that he was eventually moved out of isolation. He was discharged later that month after recovering.

Reflecting on that earlier experience, Ray J previously said the situation was frightening and forced him to rely heavily on faith. He described moments of intense fear but said prayer helped him through the ordeal, adding that the experience made him more mindful of his health.

The latest hospitalization comes during a turbulent period in Ray J’s personal life. In recent months, the singer and reality television star has made headlines for reasons beyond music. In December, he was arrested following an incident involving his estranged wife, Princess Love. Authorities alleged that Ray J brandished a firearm during a Thanksgiving livestream and made threats toward another individual. The incident intensified ongoing tensions between the former couple.

Princess Love, with whom Ray J shares two children, filed for divorce for the fourth time in February 2024. Their relationship has been marked by repeated public breakups and reconciliations, often unfolding in the spotlight through social media and reality television appearances.

Ray J has also remained entangled in legal disputes involving Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. He has continued to assert that the mother-daughter duo played a role in the release of his infamous 2007 sex tape with Kardashian, accusations they have repeatedly denied. Their attorney has previously dismissed Ray J’s claims as unfounded and frivolous.
