This interview takes place after Ray J discovered the episode of
The Kardashians
series , broadcast on Hulu, in which the famous tape was at the center of the plot.
Kim mentions in particular the fact that there could be other documents, including a video showing the singer in the process of “putting a
sex-toy
in my ass”.
Outraged by these revelations, Ray J decided it was time for him to speak out: "I have been in the shadows for over 14 years, allowing the Kardashians to use my name, abuse my name , to earn billions of dollars for a decade and a half talking about a subject that I never really talked about”.

A setup
If Ray J is accused of leaking this video himself, the version of the story he is supporting is somewhat different.
“I have never leaked a
sex tape
in my life.
There has never been a leak.
There has always been an agreement and a partnership between Kris Jenner, Kim and I, and we have always been partners since the beginning of this story.
This partnership was originally one of his ideas.
The singer tells the
Daily Mail
that he suggested Kim release the video, after seeing Paris Hilton's notoriety rise when she made a
sex tape
with Rick Salomon.
According to Ray J, the idea would have pleased his girlfriend who would have asked Kris Jenner to organize the release of the film via Vivid Entertainment.
The contract signed by the singer and Kim mentioned three videos but only one will be released.
According to Ray J, it would be the mother of North, Chicago, Psalm and Saint who would have kept the tapes.
“I never had one in my house – she had them in her house.
She always had all the tapes in a Nike shoebox under her bed,” explains her former companion.
According to the
Daily Mail
, Ray J attempted to contact Kim after
The Kardashians
episode , but the two failed to find common ground.
