Ray claimed that he and Lil Kim were formerly roommates. He praised the singer for providing him with lodging while he was in California. However, the rapper claimed that he allegedly caused a rift between her and Nicki Minaj during this time. He stated:

"She let me stay with her… I had nowhere else to go. I didn't want to pay for a hotel room… So she let me live with her, right? And so, I kind of started the whole Lil Kim Nicki Minaj beef when I spoke out of turn at a Lil Kim concert."
