The “One Wish” singer revealed his harrowing medical diagnosis in an Instagram post.

“Just almost died!! I’m alive because of your prayers and support!!” he wrote.

In an accompanying video, he also said that his heart in “only beating like 25 percent.”

“I wanna thank everyone for praying for me. I was in the hospital,” he said. “My heart is only beating like 25%, 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.”

It was a different story in another livestream, however, captured in clips on the @Livebitez Instagram page that “2027 is definitely a wrap for me.”

“No, don’t say that, brother,” a friend said off camera.

“That’s what the doctor says,” Ray J replied.

In another clip, Ray J said, “It don’t matter if my days are counted. But guess what — my baby mama gonna be straight. My kids are gonna be straight. If they want to spend all the money they can spend it, but I did my part here.”

“I shouldn’t have went this hard, bro. I shouldn’t have went hard. And then, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me,” he added.

The clips assembled by Livebitez post also showed Ray J admitting to alcohol and drug abuse, which hurt his heart “on the right side, here, it’s like, black. It’s like done,” adding that he might go to Haiti to “do some voodoo” as a potential cure.

“Ray J was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of making criminal threats, an LAPD spokesman told The Times in late November. The singer allegedly pointed a gun at ex-wife Princess Love during a heated argument that happened during a livestream at Thanksgiving,” noted the Times.

“Because of the protective order related to that incident, he isn’t allowed to see her or their kids, Melody, 7, and Epik, who turned 6 last month. He said in court documents reviewed by Page Six that he pointed the gun at her to keep her from driving the kids away from his house after a drunken family holiday,” it added.
