14 years after the infamous Kim Kardashian sex tape catapulted the billionaire reality TV megastar to fame, Ray J has finally surfaced with his side of the story.
Ray J reveals there are more Kim Kardashian sex tapes
In a bombshell tell-all with DailyMail, William Norwood, the brother of R&B superstar songstress Brandy, revealed there is a lot more to what went on behind-the-scenes when the explicit tape was leaked.
In fact, not only was it handled like an album promotion, but Kim and her mother Kris Jenner were very much involved in its release.
“I have never leaked a sex tape in my life. 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 told DailyMail.
According to the Raycon founder, the infamous Kim Kardashian sex tape was recorded in Cabo, Mexico, in 2002. The couple was on holiday celebrating Kim’s 21st birthday. That is where — and when — the first sex tape was allegedly recorded.
Coincidentally, towards the end of their relationship in 2007 was when the sex tape surfaced on the internet.
“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, he adds.
Ray J’s bombshell interview comes off the back of an episode on the new The Kardashians reality show on Hulu, where Kim was seen visibly distressed at the prospect of receiving a hard drive containing the rest of the footage from the sex tape from her now-ex-husband Kanye West.
In the tell-all, as well as subsequent private DMs between Kim and Ray J that leaked on social media, the 41-year-old businessman slams Kim for using his likeness to drive home the narrative that he was the one who weaponised the sex tapes against the Kardashians, when, in fact, there are existing contracts between the pair and media company names Vivid Entertainment.

According to Ray J, he’d introduced the sex tape idea as a joke, hoping Kim would take it lightly. But, he adds, the idea consumed the then-21-year-old who, at the time, was Paris Hilton’s wardrobe assistant.
“Once I pitched the idea to her, just playing around a little bit, that’s when she jumped on the idea, talked to her mom and it was out of my hands from there,” he said.
The businessman, who fathers two children, is adamant he’s never kept a single copy of the three sex tapes that allegedly exist. Instead, it’s Kim who — last time he checked — kept the copies under her bed, in a Nike shoebox.
“She kept them all – she had to go find that tape [Sex Tape Cabo #1] and then present it. I never had a tape in my possession in our whole relationship,” he exclaimed.
Neither Kim nor Kris has issued a statement in response to Ray J’s claims.
