Ray J is hospitalized in Las Vegas after he was knocked out by YouTuber and comedian Supa Hot Fire during a celebrity MMA match over the weekend.
TMZ published photos on Tuesday, May 26, showing the singer and reality star resting in a hospital bed. The outlet reported he’s been hospitalized for three days and doctors are running tests to determine if he has a concussion.
The Love & Hip Hop star went to the hospital hours after his May 23 fight, according to TMZ. The outlet reported there are concerns the “I Hit It First” singer may have suffered heart complications after he was hospitalized in January. At the time he was suffering from chest pains and pneumonia, and said his heart was only beating at 25 percent capacity.
The singer, born William Ray Norwood Jr., suffered a blow to the face and was KO’d in the second round of Saturday’s UFC Apex match promoted by streamer and influencer Adin Ross.
The referee stopped the fight and declared Supa Hot Fire the winner when Ray J stumbled and slumped to the floor.
Moments later, the singer told an interviewer the fight was rigged and Supa Hot Fire deviated from the script by knocking him out too early.
“I thought we had a plan,” Ray J said. “I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to get nobody in trouble, but damn… we took an L tonight… You know how much money we lost?”
Social media lit up with comments saying the fight was “fixed.” Ross addressed the controversy, during a livestream after the MMA match and said Ray J’s claims will be investigated.
“Ray J obviously what he said after the fight… Supa Hot not throwing a f–king punch like in the first round, we need to look into that,” said Ross. “We need to investigate that.”
Ross claimed he had no clue if the fight was rigged or if there was an agreement in place between the fighters.
“Supa looked like himself in the second round. Now do I know why Ray J said what he said? No I don’t,” he said. “We’re taking that shit very seriously. It looked weird.”
