Brandy posted a sweet tribute to her brother, Ray J, on social media after he shared a series of concerning posts about his mental health.
“Need you bro @rayj 🙏🏽,” the “Moesha” alum, 43, captioned a throwback picture of her and the “One Wish” singer, 41, on Instagram on Friday.
Friends and fans flooded the comments section with supportive messages and prayer hands emojis.
Ray J sparked worry on Thursday night when he posted and deleted videos of himself that appeared to reveal he was struggling with suicidal thoughts.
“If it wasn’t 4 my Kidz I would jump off and die tonight,” the “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” alum — who shares daughter Melody, 5, and son Epik, 2, with on-again, off-again wife Princess Love — captioned one of the clips.
He then wrote over a video of him with his feet dangling over a ledge, “SHOULD I JUST JUMP off and end it rit [sic]. Now!!! ????”
Ray J has not directly addressed his videos or cryptic remarks, but sources close to the “Sexy Can I” singer told TMZ on Friday that alcohol was to blame for the posts.
The insiders shared that Ray J had been drinking when he posted the clips and that he was just “messing around.” He reportedly was not taken to a hospital for an evaluation.
A source also previously told Page Six that the “I Hit It First” singer was “fine” and “everything is OK.”
The insider added that the videos were taken while Ray J was “on vacation with Princess Love,” adding that the father of two “thought about issuing an Instagram statement about it but changed his mind and is being vague.”
Ray J and Princess Love have had many ups and down over the course of their six-year marriage.
In October 2021, the pair filed for divorce for a third time, but it has not yet been finalized and it is unclear if the couple have officially rekindled their relationship.
