Ray J is opening up about a deeply personal and alarming health battle, sharing that doctors are prescribing what he describes as “every drug under the sun” in an effort to keep him alive despite a grim prognosis. The rapper and entrepreneur says multiple physicians have told him they are uncertain how much time he has left, leading to an aggressive treatment plan that includes eight different medications and strict lifestyle restrictions.
According to Kim Kardashian's ex, doctors advised him to remain in bed, closely follow his medication schedule, and prepare for the possibility that his condition could worsen. The news, delivered during recent medical visits, has shaken him and prompted a wave of emotional and practical changes in his life.

In recent statements to TMZ, Ray J revealed that doctors have warned him he may only have months to live. He told followers he does not believe he will make it to 2027, a claim that has underscored the seriousness of his diagnosis. Ray J says physicians informed him that half of his heart has turned black and that his heart is functioning at roughly 60 percent capacity, a level that signals significant cardiac distress.
Doctors reportedly told him they cannot predict how long he has left, a level of uncertainty that often accompanies advanced heart conditions. As a result, they have taken a highly cautious and intensive approach to treatment, focusing on slowing progression and preventing sudden complications.
Eight Medications Prescribed to Manage High Risk of Heart Failure
Per the publication, Ray J says doctors have placed him on a complex medication regimen that includes eight different prescriptions. Among them are Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering drug, as well as Jardiance and Entresto, medications commonly prescribed to patients at high risk of heart failure.

Ray J has described the treatment plan as overwhelming, noting that doctors appear to be trying everything possible to extend his life in the face of an uncertain outlook.
Physicians have also told him to prepare for the possibility of needing a pacemaker or a defibrillator. Ray J says he will not receive further clarity on that front until he returns for a follow-up appointment in 14 days, when doctors will reassess his condition and response to medication.
Strict Lifestyle Warnings and the Emotional Toll
Beyond medication, Ray J says doctors have issued strict warnings about his lifestyle. He has been told not to drink alcohol or smoke, habits he admits have been difficult for him to give up. Still, he says he is making a serious effort to follow medical advice and stay on what he calls the straight and narrow.

Ray J says being unable to see his children has been devastating and played a major role in forcing him to confront his choices. He is currently under a criminal protective order that prevents him from seeing his kids, a situation he says “took me down” and pushed him to recognize the need for lasting change in how he lives.
