The 45-year-old R&B singer's orange jumpsuit was open at the chest, revealing he had an attached heart monitor, as he sang both on and off stage in the cheering crowd in a montage video tweeted by X account Livebitez.

'Shreveport LA! 9pm! I'm putting my life on the line for this show!' Ray J wrote on Facebook.

'I'm singing my heart out literally.'

'Damn, n**** I'm getting better. Bro laugh at me for being sick is not [funny],' Ray J scolded him.

'You said "This n**** is sick ha ha ha." That's not fair. Yeah, we're okay. That's what I'm saying. Don't do that!'

Turning to the camera, the Lit Again singer reassured: 'Aye, y'all we're perfectly fine. Ain't nobody say look at me. I'm fine, y'all.'

Ray J's worrying health update came nearly three weeks after he announced he only had months to live after suffering from severe heart failure where the organ is only beating at '25 percent.'

'I f***ed up,' the nepo brother of Brandy said on Instagram.

'I thought I was a big [shot], so I could handle all the alcohol. I could handle all the Adderall. I could handle all the drugs, but I couldn't. And it curbed my time here.'

The Mississippi-born belter was prescribed eight medications to treat his condition and doctors have told him to prepare for a possible pacemaker or defibrillator - according to TMZ.

Bleeding eyes or retinal hemorrhages can reportedly reveal systemic vascular damage that can indicate an increased risk of heart failure.

Ray J still pulls 1.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but he hasn't released a full-blown record since his fifth studio album Raydemption in 2022.

The 45-year-old R&B singer wrote on Facebook: 'Shreveport LA! 9pm! I'm putting my life on the line for this show! ... I'm singing my heart out literally'
