"Bed rest can go pound sand: Ray J gave his all on stage on Friday night, it seems, with fan videos showing his eyes appearing to bleed as he worked the crowd. The singer also doffed the top of his orange jumpsuit to reveal some sort of medical port or device inserted on the upper left side of his chest. The "Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood" star, who is singer-actor Brandy's brother, was performing in Shreveport, La."
"In the first clip, red liquid - which many assumed was blood - ran down one of the R&B singer's cheeks like tears as he handed out long-stemmed red roses to people in the audience. Another clip showed him singing into a mic while climbing down from the stage after shedding the top part of his jumpsuit. "Hey, y'all, we perfectly fine. Ain't nobody sick. Look at me, I'm fine," he says in a later clip, which takes place off stage."
Ray J performed in Shreveport while appearing to have blood streaming from his eyes and exposing a medical port on his upper-left chest. Fan videos show red liquid running down his cheeks as he handed out long-stemmed roses and removed the top of an orange jumpsuit. He told TMZ in late January that doctors ordered bed rest and that he was on eight heart-related medications, and that his heart is failing after decades of heavy drug and alcohol use. A backstage source claimed the blood was fake and called the act theatrical, while a concertgoer said the sight was concerning.
