What is Ray J’s net worth? Fortune explored as Kim Kardashian’s ex claims Kris Jenner “masterminded” infamous tape, amid Kanye West Instagram spree
Ray J has stepped into the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West family drama. The Donda rapper has been on an Instagram spree ousting the Kar-Jenner family for not letting him take control of his children. As West aimed at Kris Jenner, Ray J also listed his complaints against Jenner.
Kim Kardashian and Ray J got into a relationship in 2002, and the two dated on and off until 2007. The rapper was infamously accused of releasing the tape involving Kim Kardashian in 2007.
Ray J inserted himself into the Kardashian-West drama by commenting under a post about the same. The Shade Room published a text exchange between Kanye West and an unidentified woman who has since been alleged to be Kim Kardashian. In the same, the SKIMS founder pleads with her ex-husband about not involving Kris Jenner in his Instagram rants, as it was “stressing” Jenner to “no end.”
Ray J did not show any remorse to Kris Jenner, as the 41-year-old rapper accused Jenner of trying to “ruin” his family. He also claimed that the momager “masterminded” Kardashian’s infamous tape. He wrote in the post’s comment:
“What about my mom Kris ? You telling people false stories about me, making the black man look horrible, for your gain, you introduced me to Steve HIRSH, you masterminded everything 4 your family, and tried to ruin mine at the same time smh – you don’t think all mothers get stressed ? Or you special huh? – I know it’s old and I don’t care – this makes me sick – but God had my back and still does.”
While slamming the matriarch of the Kar-Jenner family, Ray J mentioned Steve HIRSH, who is the CEO of Vivid. This is the company Ray J referred to behind the release of his and Kim Kardashian's tape.
