The 45-year-old - who famously dated Kim Kardashian - says he has been wearing the device for the past two weeks so doctors can closely track his heart condition.
But during a concert in Shreveport, Louisiana, the One Wish crooner says the monitor was snatched off his chest when he jumped into the crowd while performing his 2005 hit One Wish.
Speaking to TMZ, Ray J insisted the device contains critical health data his medical team urgently needs - and he is now offering cash for its safe return.
He stressed the situation is ‘no joke,’ claiming he was wearing the monitor during what doctors described as a particularly ‘critical’ period.

He shared a health update after he was rushed to the emergency room in Las Vegas in January when he was experiencing chest pains and battling a severe case of pneumonia.
In between promoting his reality shows, he dropped a bombshell on Instagram about his health and predicted that does not have long to live.

At one point during the clip, he said: '2027 is definitely a wrap for me. That's what [the doctors] say.'
He said that he was told to take better of his body following the health scare. 'I shouldn't have went this hard, bro,' he continued.
He also talked about what he wanted to leave behind for his estranged wife Princess Love and his children.
He and the actress shared daughter Melody, who was born in 2018, and son Epik, who was born in 2020.
'My baby mama gonna be straight. My kids gonna be straight. If they wanna spend all the money, they can spend it. I did my part here.'

During the clip, he also expressed his gratitude for his parents for taking him to the doctor's and to his sister Brandy as she 'paid my bills for me for the rest of the year.'
Over the weekend, he also shared another post and told his fans that he 'almost died' when he was in the hospital.
'My heart is only beating like 25 percent, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, then everything will be all right, so thank you for all your prayers.'

In his video, he also jumped right into discussing his his TV shows and his intention to get right back to work.
At the beginning of January, a source close to Ray J told TMZ that he was hospitalized and doctors ordered an echocardiogram and X-rays as he was experiencing chest pains.
He has faced health concerns for many years and was also once hospitalized in October 2021.
At the time, he was also ill with pneumonia and 'thought he could die,' an insider said at the time.
Shortly before his recent bout of illness, he was arrested for allegedly pulling a gun on his estranged wife.
