Ray J Steps Away From TB Tour To Focus On Second Child

This is not the "one wish" we were hoping for.

Ray J is dropping out of several dates on the #TB Tour: The Reunion to focus on welcoming his next child.

The Love & Hip Hop star was set to join Immature, B5, J Holiday and Day 26 for their tour set to begin Nov. 2, but according to a press release, Ray J is now focused on “preparing for baby number two with his wife, Princess Love Norwood, his upcoming TV One holiday movie, Dear Santa…I Need A Date (opposite Reagan Gomez), his forthcoming EP Emerald City and his tech company Raycon Global.”

The Norwoods announced back in August that they were expecting their second child in January 2020.

Ray J himself shared the news in a post on Instagram, writing in a caption: “Baby #2 on the way!” The couple, who wed in an August 2016 ceremony that aired on Love & Hip Hop, are already parents to a 1-year-old baby girl named Melody.

His addition to the tour was actually a storyline on the most recent season of the VH1 reality show as we saw the new dad struggle with juggling business and family.

Not to fret, music lovers because you still might get a chance to sing “One Wish” with Ray J on the road. Instead of performing the full eight-city tour, he’ll only appear in Long Beach, California on Dec. 7; in Dallas, Texas on Dec. 14; and on the tour’s final stop in Detroit, Michigan on Dec. 20.
