Ray J’s been talking serious life-or-death health woes recently — but you’d never clock it from the way he rolled into court looking like he had a red carpet to catch!

Despite saying he’s got limited time, it looked like Ray J’s prognosis took a day off as he rocked up to an L.A. court Friday — he was decked out in a slick suit, and had cool-guy energy to the point he refused eye contact for cameras while saying he’s “doing alright.”

The rapper elaborated a little … saying he was “better today,” so his health saga might be more day-by-day than doomsday.

On the flip side, he could just be powering through the rough days — telling cameras his whole goal in court is to see his kids … so yeah, he might be making sure he looks fit for duty with that criminal protective order in the way.

All this after saying half his heart’s “turned black” and he’s relying on a stack of meds to buy time — but right now, it looks like he’s keeping things VIP rather than ICU.
