Singer Ray J is claiming his health is so poor, he doesn’t have much longer to live.

In a video he shard on social media Tuesday night, the singer said, “2027 is definitely a wrap for me. That’s what they say,” Page Six reported.

A friend in the video told him not to “say that” and “f—k the doctor,” but Ray J put his head in his hands with defeat.

“I shouldn’t have went this hard, bro,” he said. “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.”

He also shared his plans for what he’d like to be done after he dies, saying, “And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me.”

Ray J thanked his parents and sister Brandy, who he says have been taking him to the doctor and covering his bills “for the rest of the year.”

According to TMZ, in the Tuesday night video, Ray J blamed years of drugs and alcohol for his health problems, saying his heart turned “black.”

He is allegedly planning to go to Haiti in two weeks to seek treatment for his health issues, despite warnings from the U.S. State Department for Americans not to travel there.

The post from Ray J on Tuesday followed another he made Sunday night, where he claimed he “almost died” and his “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,” he added.

Earlier this month, Ray J was hospitalized in Las Vegas with a severe case of pneumonia and heart pains, per TMZ.

Ray J also had pneumonia in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 45-year-old is also facing legal woes on top of his health issues.

He is in the process of being divorced from his ex, Princess Love, with whom he shares two children.

The singer is also embroiled in a legal battle with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, attempting to build a racketeering case against them in September. The reality stars in turn sued him for defamation, per Pag Six. Ray J countersued and accused them for lying about leaking the sex tape between himself and Kim for decades.
