Kim Kardashian’s ex Ray J claims they paved the way for OnlyFans because ‘more people would be going to college’ if it weren’t for their sex tape

American singer, Ray J has 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, disclosed this during a wide-ranging interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast with Shannon Sharpe on Wednesday, June 5.

Ray J  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 in 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 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. 

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. 

Ray J has two children with his estranged wife, Princess Love. The pair share a daughter Melody Love, six, and son, Epik Ray, four.

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.
