by

Ray J is providing a devastating update. 

The singer, known for his song “Sexy Can I,” recently revealed he was hospitalized with pneumonia and now believes his health is so fragile he won’t live to see 2027.

Ray J announced during an Instagram live stream on January 27th that he’s finished having children. He indicated this by pointing to his heart and saying, “This is done.”

The rapper shared that his health declined so severely during his hospital stay that he nearly lost his life.

Okay, so, I’ve been following Ray J for years, and hearing him talk about this… it just breaks my heart. He basically admitted he messed up, really badly. He thought he was tougher than he was, you know? He thought he could handle all the partying, all the pills… everything. He honestly believed he was strong enough to deal with it all, but he wasn’t. And he says it… it really shortened his life, or at least, his time being him. It’s just… devastating to hear him say that. I’m so worried about him.

The 45-year-old revealed that before his health issues, he was drinking around four or five bottles daily and using ten Adderall pills.

“I’m like, ‘Ain’t nothing happening to me,'” he continued. “I’m undestructible.”

Ray J, who famously dated Kim Kardashian in the early 2000s, recently revealed his heart is only functioning at 25%. Despite this, he remains optimistic about a full recovery.

In a video posted to Instagram on January 25th, he shared that he’s confident things will improve if he remains focused and follows the right course. He also expressed gratitude for the support and prayers he’s received while dealing with health issues and his recent hospital stay, noting that his health isn’t currently good.

Ray J is thankful for the support he’s received from his fans and family, especially his sister Brandy and parents, Sonja and Willie Norwood. He shares two children – 7-year-old Melody and 5-year-old Epik – with his ex-wife, Princess Love.

He announced on Instagram Live that his parents are picking him up tomorrow to go to a doctor’s appointment. He also thanked his parents and a friend named Brandy for their support.

He added, “My sister paid my bills for me for the rest of the year. That’s crazy.”

Former Total Bellas star revealed that one of her breast implants moved after being hit during an elbow strike from fellow wrestler Piper Niven in a match that took place in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, that they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitment, she’d return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best, because she planned to use them again and they needed to be in good condition.

Lupita Nyong’o received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus—in 2014, the same year she won an Academy Award for her acting in 12 Years a Slave.

She didn’t share her diagnosis until 2025, when she revealed on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with it for over ten years.

She explained that growing up, many of us are told that periods are supposed to be painful, and that pain is just something women have to deal with. This often leaves us feeling like we’re going through a difficult experience all by ourselves, when it actually affects most of us.

 

In July 2025, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six revealed she’d been hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she had been wearing pants that were too tight, which caused a gap to form in her abdominal muscles.

She messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “You haven’t tweeted in ages!” She then jokingly added, “I’ve been meaning to tell you… I think those super-tight pants I wore six months ago gave me a hernia, and I’ve been too afraid to say anything.”

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained he had a perforated appendix – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

During a soccer game against the Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle, a midfielder for Racing Louisville collapsed after only a few minutes of play.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, just before she collapsed. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

After receiving immediate medical attention on the field, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests. League officials reported later that she is in stable condition and fully conscious.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from being hit by a cement truck as a child continue to bother him now.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine shared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I experience spasms throughout my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation—within the past year, actually.”

He mentioned that his pain is intermittent, explaining that his body has some minor imperfections and isn’t quite working as it should.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital because of severe back pain. He said the pain was so bad he could barely move and had to crawl, and it got worse during a road trip with a friend.

He described a strange tingling sensation that still lingered in his knees and toes as of a March 2025 podcast episode of Trading Secrets. To illustrate the extent of the issue, he explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds. Now, he can’t even do a squat or stand on one foot without falling, comparing the feeling to having had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter, from The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is now recovering.

In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was accidentally shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a clay pigeon shooting outing at the time.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a weapon unsafely. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped, checked her over, and took her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.

The former Kim Possible star shared that a small piece of something got stuck behind their eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, but they will keep monitoring the situation. Thankfully, their vision is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving. She shared how much she loves her daughters, husband, family, and friends, and emphasized the importance of cherishing loved ones. Reflecting on a near-death experience, she urged everyone to hug the people they care about, reminding them that life can change unexpectedly.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, even though it can be harsh, because it ultimately helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier” and receiving criticism online, doctors began commenting, suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome – a condition often caused by high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This prompted Amy to realize she had been receiving steroid injections following a breast reduction and C-section. She wouldn’t have known about the condition without the online feedback. Thankfully, Amy recently learned she has a form of Cushing syndrome that will resolve on its own, and she’s happy to be healthy.

In December 2024, an AHL player was accidentally cut by a skate during a game, requiring 25 stitches to close the wound. After his son fully recovered, New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald told ESPN, “We feel very fortunate, and I wouldn’t want any parent to go through that.”

Let me tell you, back in March 2022, I was so worried about Hailey Bieber! She was having breakfast with Justin, and suddenly she started having these really scary symptoms – it sounded like a stroke. She shared on YouTube that Justin noticed something was wrong and asked if she was okay, but she couldn’t even respond. She tried to speak, but couldn’t, and the right side of her face started to droop. Thankfully, it stopped pretty quickly and her speech came back, but she immediately went to the hospital to get checked out.

Turns out, she’d had a small blood clot travel to her brain, which doctors called a TIA. Later, they discovered she had a hole in her heart, a PFO, and that’s how the clot had gotten to her brain! It was so frightening to hear. Thankfully, she had a procedure to close the hole, and she’s doing amazing now. I was so relieved to hear she’s feeling great – it was a really scary time for everyone who cares about her.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained the virus affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also shared that it had become increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well, stating it had been a frightening and unexpected situation, but he was going to be okay and she was thankful he was fine.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. He explained that while in Atlanta, he suffered a severe headache and asked for aspirin, but then lost consciousness. He doesn’t remember the next twenty days.

Initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital. There, they discovered he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

After surgery, twenty days passed before Jamie woke up on May 4th, finding himself in a wheelchair and unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for all the prayers he received, saying he needed them all to get through it.

The reality TV star shared that she temporarily stopped breathing while running a mile during the first challenge on the NBC show.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, she remembers only darkness, followed by light, leading her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where the body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the show, she experienced a sudden, severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and being violently ill, realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan quickly revealed a subarachnoid hemorrhage – a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain. She had suffered an aneurysm, a rupture in an artery. Emergency surgery was performed to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she struggled with aphasia, making it difficult to speak coherently.

After a week, her speech returned, and she was discharged from the hospital a month later. However, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had grown, requiring a second surgery. This operation was unsuccessful, leading to a massive bleed and a precarious situation. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia is now fully recovered and says she’s “at a hundred per cent.”

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared how much she appreciates her family’s support after experiencing a stroke in January 2024. She told TopMob News that she immediately contacted them, sending a text and a picture, and they all quickly came to her aid. While she could have been discharged after the stroke, other health issues – including problems with her lupus and kidneys – required a longer hospital stay. Thankfully, Cori is now recovering well. She says she’s feeling great and has been working to regain some motor skills, but is otherwise doing fine.

Shailene Woodley struggled with significant health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she described a time when she was losing her hearing, unable to walk for more than five minutes without needing to rest for hours, and experiencing constant stomach pain. She faced a confusing array of diagnoses from different doctors.

Determined to find answers, Shailene, who has kept her specific condition private, combined traditional medical care with holistic and herbal remedies. This search for well-being spanned a decade.

She explained that the physical discomfort led to deeper issues, including fear of food and struggles with body image, identity, and feeling comfortable in her own body.

Fortunately, after years of focusing on both her physical and mental health, Shailene is now feeling much better and considers herself very healthy. She expressed happiness and relief at having resolved the issues.
