Concern for Ray J has been swirling since January, when he first revealed severe health issues. That concern intensified when a video showed the singer performing with a chest patch and blood seemingly coming from his eyes. Then, three days into March, his mother, Sonja Norwood confirmed he’s suffering from heart and health issues. Since then, a video has surfaced of Ray J dancing in a nightclub. In response, fans are asking more questions and letting their confusion show!
The details of Ray J’s night out are unclear. However, the visuals are saying plenty to fans! In a short clip obtained by The Shade Room, the singer is seen moving his hips and alternating his hands while touching his head to an R&B song. He appeared to be looking directly at the camera recording and even stuck his tongue out at one point. Ray was dressed causal, rocking a white tee and a U.S. Army-branded beanie. It’s also unclear whether he was in the spot solo or with company and whether he was intoxicated or not.
In 18 hours, over 3,400 Instagram roommates dropped their two cents on Ray J showing off his dance moves. Some saw a kiii, while others questioned why he’s in a nightclub while battling health problems. Others pointed out that if the singer isn’t concerned, the public shouldn’t be either. Ray has not addressed the resurfaced video.
IG user @bjrmck commented, “I guess he was tryna take somebody out the club.”

“Got his mama on this Internet hootin and hollin about his health and he over there doing this,” @krystledaniellerenee commented.
Meanwhile, @therealsusiecarmichael speculated about the singer’s diagnosis. She wrote, “Ray J def drugged tf out and y’all talking about he “sick” yeahhhhh aight.”
“Hear me out – if Ray J was a womanCONSERVATORSHIP ,” @jaraemilay said.
Amid swirling questions, Sonja Norwood gave credibility to her son’s online posts about his health. She said on Tuesday that it’s gotten “out of hand” how many believe that Ray J is “faking his health.” Norwood confirmed that her son was in the hospital in January. Doctors later told him he had “cardiomyopathy,” a type of heart disease. She added that the blood flow to her son’s heart was 15% to 20% and a life-threatening condition.
“It has been told to him that if he does not take his medication, if he does not take medical advice, and if he doesnt rest and stay stress-free then he has a life-threatening situation,” Sonja Norwood said.
