Ray J shared a video on Instagram Thursday asking fans to pray for him and his family while clarifying his ongoing health situation.
The 45-year-old singer posted the dimly lit clip with the caption “Pray 4 me.” He explained he is focusing on self-care after his January pneumonia hospitalization and earlier comments that he had been told he only had months to live.
Ray J addressed jokes from BET Awards host Druski on June 28, insisting he is taking the necessary steps to stay healthy. He also confirmed plans to compete in a celebrity boxing match against Orlando Brown on August 15 in Atlanta, promoted by the Zeus Network.
Fans reacted with a mix of prayers and skepticism in comments on The Shade Room’s Instagram post. Ray J closed the video by saying he loves his wife and kids and asked for patience.
