While on stage on Saturday, a red liquid was seen rolling out from behind Ray J’s sunglasses and down his face as he handed out red roses to fans.
Despite it looking like he was dealing with some sort of painful eye problem, he was seen smiling and he even hopped into the crowd.
As a fan filmed close to his face, his eyes did not appear to be gushing blood, although further footage does appear to show two dark patches beneath each of them.
The source of the blood-like substance is currently unknown.

« My baby mama gonna be straight, my kids gonna be straight, if they wanna spend all the money, they can spend it. I did my part here, » the father-of-two added.
« And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me. »
According to the NHS, pneumonia is ‘inflammation of the lungs’ and is ‘usually caused by an infection’.
