Ray J and Kim Kardashian’s infamous sex tape has been a topic of discussion for 15 years and apparently the publicly sold intimate video is still making money for the former couple.
On Thursday (Sept. 22), Ray J appeared on Comedy Central’s Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God where he was questioned about the recent drama surrounding who initially put the tape out. According to Ray J, the tape is still making money nearly two decades after its release. How much money
Ray J’s feud with the Kardashians stems from a 2007 leaked sex tape of him and then-girlfriend Kim. Many credit the tape as the fire that fueled the family’s rise to superstardom.
Ray J has been clapping back at assertions made by the Kardashian family that he had something to do with the leaking of his sex tape with Kim for the past few months. A couple of weeks ago, he attempted to expose Kris Jenner after she went on The Late Late Show with James Corden and took a lie detector test to prove she didn’t have a hand in putting the tape out.
Two days after Ray J’s rant, emails leaked from 2007 that had documents allegedly sent to the Kardashians letting them know how much revenue the tape was initially making.
Ray J and Kim’s sex tape was recorded in 2002, when they were dating. In 2007, the tape wound up in the hands of adult film distributor Vivid Entertainment. Kim threatened Vivid with a lawsuit the same year. They reportedly settled the suit and the tape was sold publicly as Kim Kardashian, Superstar the same year. Over the years, blame has been tossed back and forth about who initially sold the tape to Vivid, with one theory being it was Ray J and the other being it was Kris Jenner who did so to boost her daughter’s career.
