Ray J claimed that he and ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian paved the way for adult content website OnlyFans with their infamous sex tape.
The One Wish hitmaker, 43, sat down for a wide-ranging interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast with Shannon Sharpe on Wednesday, where he spoke about the SKIMS founder, 43, and their X-rated 2007 video, ‘Kim Kardashian, Superstar.’
The musician stated that ‘everything would be different’ if it weren’t for the tape: ‘Probably more people would be going to college… there might not be any OnlyFans and other things like that.’
He then mused: ‘Are we a part of the cure or are we a part of the disease? I don’t f*****g know. I’m just trying to make it right.’
Ray J also admitted his perspective has changed because he has kids now, and that he was ’embarrassed’ that the tape came out.

‘Everything that we did, now that I have kids, is totally different. The whole thing is wacky.’
‘Without me going too far into it, without me getting in trouble… No, it’s not okay now.’
It’s not the first time the musician has spoken about the sex tape with Kim.
In 2022 he claimed that her mother, Kris Jenner, 68, selected one of three sex tapes he shot with Kim for release of the adult film.
The artist said that Kim’s mother and manager Jenner watched the three sex tapes and decided to release one which was shot at a resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Ray J, whose real name is William Ray Norwood Jr., said that two of the adult movies were shot in Cabo San Lucas, and one was filmed in Santa Barbara, California.
In a bombshell interview with DailyMail.com in May, Ray J claimed the infamous sex tape was ‘released like an album’ by Kim herself – who also kept the only copy of it stashed in a Nike shoebox under her bed along with other steamy tapes she made with him.
The musician also claimed Kris was the one who introduced him to Vivid CEO Steven Hirsch.
Vivid was the company that released the sex tape between Kim and Ray J in 2007.
Jenner has denied any involvement in the release of the tape, which boosted the family’s high-profile, eventually leading to unprecedented success in reality TV, and paving the path toward its marketing empire.

Kim and Ray J dated on and off for around three years, from 2003 until 2007
In 2022 Jenner passed a test on The Late Late Show, as a polygrapher said she was truthful in saying she did not arrange for the release of the sex tape.
Kim and Ray J dated on and off for around three years, from 2003 until 2007.

Meanwhile Kim has four children with her ex-husband Kanye West. They share daughters North, 11, and Chicago, six, as well as sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five.
Elsewhere in the interview Ray J addressed the release of the shocking surveillance footage of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs violently attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
Ray Jay stated that Diddy needs a ‘public whipping.’
‘What scares me about that is that… if there’s other guys out there that’s doing that, or have done that, and that are forgiven now. What do we with them? How does that work?’
‘That’s the only thing I’m kind of confused about.’
‘Unacceptable, I’ve never seen nothing like that in my life… The homie need a public whipping. It’s the only way it’s going to be right.’

Ray J then imitated the sound of a whip: ‘A 100 lashes. A 1000 lashes.’
He then apologized to Cassie, saying that he has been around the couple before and ‘never knew’ what was going on behind closed doors.
‘I apologize for even continuing to just be around… I’m not saying “what’s up” to Puff ever again.’
In another podcast days earlier Ray J suggested that Diddy needs an ‘exorcism’ following the ‘demonic’ assault.
‘When somebody is around somebody and we’re counting on them to be our one of our leaders in a space that we’re all trying to get to that’s not acceptable to do and it’s not OK,’ he said on The Art of Dialogue podcast.’
[The video] was heartbreaking and shameful and unacceptable I’ve never seen nothing like that. I’ve never seen nothing like that in the history of my life, so that’s a new [one] for me.’
‘I don’t know what kind of demon you are, but somebody need to muthaf**kin’ perform an exorcism fast.’
Cassie sued Diddy last year alleging rape and a range of other offenses. They settled out of court in November for an undisclosed amount.

‘I think the tattoo went viral the wrong way,’ he J admitted. ‘I think the tattoo was not it… for the world.’
