In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Ray J revealed that momager Kris Jenner pimped out daughter Kim Kardashian in the name of fame and secured a bag while villainizing Kim’s then-boyfriend.
Ray, born William Ray Norwood, Jr., spilled the suspected tea earlier this week after being fed up with the Kardashians and Kris blaming him for “dropping” the couple’s infamous 2007 sex tape. The “Wait A Minute” singer revealed that the matriarch brokered a lucrative deal– literally off her daughter’s back – with Vivid Entertainment.
“I’ve sat in the shadows for over 14 years, allowing the Kardashians to use my name, to abuse my name, make billions of dollars over a decade-and-a-half talking about a topic I’ve never really spoken about,” Ray explained.
“I’ve never leaked anything. I have never leaked a sex tape in my life. It has never been a leak. It’s always been a deal and a partnership between Kris Jenner and Kim and me, and we’ve always been partners since the beginning of this thing.”
He also admitted that it was his idea to release the sex tape after seeing the success Paris Hilton had when she released her flick with Rick Salomon in 2004. Although Ray purportedly masterminded releasing the video, he admitted having little to nothing to do with the negotiation for the footage.
The father of two also divulged that there were three tapes, but Vivid Entertainment only released one. Kim reportedly had possession of the copies in a shoebox underneath the bed. In essence, her soon-to-be ex-husband’s big to-do over “returning” the videos to her was bullsh*t.
After almost a decade-and-a-half of being the villain, the 41-year-old man’s final straw was when the trifling family revived the controversial video on Hulu’s version of their reality series. He told the publication that the damage done to him by the Kardashian clan, including Kris and Kim, was “heartbreaking.”
“I felt suicidal because when you know something’s real and it’s true, and you’re watching a whole family create an empire from a lie they’ve created, it’s heartbreaking and disrespectful to all the entertainers who have been honest and true to their craft. As a black man living and working in America, it’s hard to get up every day and look out at the water or look at my family and know that they think something about you when you know it’s 1,000 percent the other way. How do you live like that?”
He also maintained that their treachery blackballed him in the industry.
“I couldn’t be a part of any reputable major network television show and do Dancing with the Stars, and do America’s Got Talent or anything like that because of my image. Because of what they made me, I’m not allowed to be in those places,” Ray expressed.
The youngest Norwood child explained that his former lover and her relatives reveled in his downfall while making him a villain for almost 15 years.
“For me, I’ve been walking on eggshells thinking I’m going to get in trouble for telling the truth, and I’ve been holding onto it for the past 14 years and watching them humiliate me. They’re celebrating my destruction.”
A series of alleged text messages between Ray and Kim concerning the ongoing sex tape debacle was released. The “Wait A Minute” singer was rather docile in the alleged messages considering Kim made him out to be a toxic, selfish abuser.

Ray J breaking his silence on the Kim Kardashian sex tape is insane.
For years I actually believed Kim was the victim.
It is difficult to process how evil Hollywood is and what people will do for fame.
A mother selling her daughter’s body is demonic.— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) May 4, 2022
Kris Jenner basically pimped out her daughter for money.
But Ray J is to blame ? No.
Kim Kardashian is not a victim …she’s an opportunist just like her mother.

The sex tape isn’t Kim, Kris and the rest of the Kardashian family’s first time attempting to hit a lick on the Norwood family. In 2008, one year after her trash sex tape was released, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob stole $120,000 from Ray’s mother, Sonja Norwood.
The klepto Kardashian kids racked up the astronomical dollar amount by using Sonja’s credit card without permission. Kim was the matriarch’s daughter Brandy’s stylist at the time. She was also dating Ray.
The Kardashians repeated harm of Black folks in their circle is rich, but given that Kris Jenner would pimp out her daughter– it’s not surprising.
