Yo, SoCal fam, buckle up because Ray J is bringing some serious heat to the Hollywood gossip scene! The 41-year-old rapper, known for his early 2000s romance with Kim Kardashian, is straight-up debunking the latest drama from Hulu’s The Kardashians. After the third episode dropped on April 28, Ray J took to Instagram to call cap on a storyline involving a supposed second sex tape - and he’s not mincing words.
This ain’t just some petty Twitter beef; it’s full-on LA-style shade. Ray J commented on a Hollywood Unlocked post featuring a clip from the show, writing, 'All of this is a lie smh. Can’t let them do this anymore - so untrue.' If you’re sipping matcha in Venice right now, you know this tea is piping hot!
On the episode, Kim K, also 41, got all teary-eyed in a NYC hotel room, opening a suitcase in front of momager Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, and the crew. She claimed Kanye West, 44, flew across the country to snag a rumored second tape from Ray J, delivering it to her just before she hosted Saturday Night Live. Sounds like a plot straight outta a Sunset Strip rom-com, right?
'I’m just shocked they’d spin this story like it’s some big hero moment when it’s all fabricated,' Ray J reportedly vented to a close source, stirring the pot on this Hollywood narrative.
Kim gushed to the camera about Kanye’s gesture, saying it was for her kids - North, 8, Chicago, 4, Saint, 6, and Psalm, 2 - to shield them from her past. Kris, 66, even gave props to the Yeezy mogul for being a stand-up guy. But Ray J’s reaction has us wondering if this was more reality TV magic than real-life heroics.
Here’s the kicker, LA peeps - that hard drive Kanye supposedly retrieved? Kim admitted it had zero spicy content. 'It was just footage of us at a restaurant, at a nightclub. Nothing sexual. Nothing weird,' she clarified, breathing a sigh of relief right before her big SNL gig and bar exam prep. So, was this whole thing just hyped up for the ratings?
For those not in the 90210 loop, Kim and Ray J dated back in the day, and their leaked tape in the early 2000s basically launched her into superstardom with Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007. Last year, Ray J’s ex-manager Wack 100 stirred the pot by claiming there was another video, but Kim’s lawyer, Marty Singer, shut that down in September 2021, calling it 'unequivocally false' to Us Weekly.
Kanye himself backed up part of the story earlier this year on Hollywood Unlocked With Jason Lee, saying he personally got the laptop from Ray J and that Kim 'cried when she saw it.' But with Ray J now calling foul, it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s just another day in the Hollywood Hills.
Let’s not forget, Kim and Kanye were married for almost seven years before she filed for divorce in February 2021, getting declared legally single in March. With all this back-and-forth, it’s like watching a blockbuster drama unfold - but hey, that’s just another Tuesday in LA, right? Keep your eyes peeled, because this Malibu-style mess is far from over.
