Ray J had a medical scare and was rushed to the hospital during a livestream on Thursday, 1 October.

The R&B singer was streaming on his Kick account when he suddenly suffered a medical emergency and had the fire department and an ambulance rush to his aid, TMZ reported.

His mother, Sonja Norwood, was with him at the time.

In the video, Ray J is seen shirtless with equipment attached to his chest as medical professionals attend to him on a sofa.

This isn't the first time the musician has had a health scare. Earlier this year, the younger brother of Brandy Norwood and cousin of Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to tell fans that he had been hospitalised due to heart issues.

"I wanna thank everybody for praying for me," he shared. "I was in the hospital. My heart's only beating like 25 per cent, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, everything will be all right, so thank you for all your prayers."

He was also hospitalised in Las Vegas in January with pneumonia and heart pain.

According to Ray J, years of excessive drinking and drug use have caused issues with his heart.

"I f**ked up," he said during one live video. "I thought I could handle all the drugs, I could handle everything, but I couldn't."
