Ray J has reportedly been rushed to the hospital after suffering a medical emergency mid-livestream.
According to TMZ, the R&B singer was streaming from Fab Factory when health issues arose — and his mother, Sonja Norwood, was on the livestream with him.
An ambulance and the fire department were called, and he was taken to a nearby hospital for heart-related issues, sources told the outlet.
In video from the livestream, Ray J (real name: William Ray Norwood Jr.) was seen being loaded into an ambulance on a gurney.
Paramedics can also be seen caring for the influencer — who had medical equipment attached to his shirtless chest — amid the commotion.
The outlet reported that the call for an ambulance was “strictly medical,” and noted that sources said “there was nothing unusual or suspicious going on.”
The TV personality, 45, is currently in the midst of a 180-day streaming subathon he dubbed Rayhab.
According to the outlet, Norwood had been “staying up for long stretches while streaming.”
A rep for Norwood did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Thursday afternoon.
The news comes after the rapper had multiple hospitalizations earlier this year — most recently after being knocked out in a Las Vegas MMA fight against Supa Hot Fire in May.
A source told TMZ at the the time that his heart rate had slowed following the brutal encounter, and that doctors were running tests to investigate whether he’d suffered a concussion.
During a post-match interview, the hitmaker accused Supa Hot Fire of ignoring a plan to rig the match, labeling the alleged move “janky as f–k.”
Norwood previously claimed he only has months to live following a reported hospitalization in January with “heart pains” and pneumonia.
“2027 is definitely a wrap for me,” he insisted during an Instagram video that month. “That’s what they say.”
He continued, “And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me.”
The “Sexy Can I” hitmaker later told TMZ that physicians had ordered bedrest for his condition, and divulged he was on cholesterol medications — as well as medications commonly prescribed to people at risk of heart failure.
