Clips of the R&B group Jodeci performing at the Theater at MGM National Harbor surfaced online and have fans worried about a particular member, JoJo Hailey.
In one clip, JoJo began to sing with K-Ci, but the microphone wouldn’t emit sound, causing K-Ci to offer his. When JoJo started singing, it was audibly off-key.

JoJo appeared to be disappointed and began to walk off stage. K-Ci held up his brother’s arm and told the audience to “say goodnight to JoJo” and told his brother, “We got this.”
Before continuing his performance, the “All My Life” singer spoke to the audience.
“Real talk…my brother is okay,” the singer began. “I don’t know about y’all family members out there, but I love mine.”
He explained that JoJo’s sugar was low and that he wouldn’t lose his brother to please people. While there were times during the show when JoJo couldn’t perform, concertgoers said he would occasionally come on stage and perform.
“He came back out several times and sat down to sing,” one person commented. “They sounded amazing and the show was AMAZING. This SMALL CLIP is when he looked like he was about to pass out and cry as he didn’t want to leave. Send him prayers, but please stop with the negativity.”

The Jodeci co-founder has been transparent about his health issues, specifically alcoholism and how consuming too much impacted his pancreas.
“I drank so much until a small part of my pancreas had ate away. That’s no pain you want to feel. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy,” he said years ago to Sister 2 Sister, according to TV One.
