Singer Ray J, the younger brother of R&B star Brandy, became infamous early this year when a sex tape starring him and socialite Kim Kardashian leaked to DVD, via porn giant Vivid Entertainment.
Since the alleged leak, both Ray J and Kim have become overnight sensations, parlaying their porn success into mainstream careers -- Kim landed her own reality show on E! (see "Kim Kardashian Gets The Go Ahead For E! Reality Show") and Ray J continues to make moves independently.
In Ray J's world though, he's just enjoying the ride. Via an interview with adult news organization, AVN, he opens up about the past year.
"It turned from crazy reactions to a crazy business. This has been a year-long story; that's the good thing about it. I'm talking about this sh-- daily. Whether it's commercial or X-rated, I'm not afraid of being successful," Ray J told AVN.
According to Ray J, he just wants to keep people entertained. If it's at someone else's expense, so be it -- it's his life and he's letting people know how he lives it.
Via a new mixtape, titled Ray J Unkut, created with DJ Kay Slay, he talks about Kim and their relationship, among other things. It features tracks such as "No Porno Sh--," "Spendin' All My Bitches' Cash" and "Kim K Message (Parts 1 & 2)," a remix of Kim's private voicemails to Ray J recorded shortly after news of the sex tape broke.
"What I want to do is make sure people are entertained with great stories, and that's what I deliver on this CD," he said. "I'm puttin' it all out on the table. I talk about my boys f---in' their homegirls and Paris [Hilton] don't like it... I'm incorporating my life into my music, which is the only honest way to be."
As far as the leaked tape with Kardashian, Ray J said it was fun and was made for his own enjoyment.
"That [video] was for me to see," Ray J said. "She loved it. We had a fun relationship; what you see is how I am in real life. All I know is we had fun, we did what we did, and it's over."
Unlike Kim, who denied the tape's existence before it leaked, Ray J doesn't seem concerned at all. In fact, he seems happy about its success.
"A lot of people are buying this," he said. "It is what it is. Don't hate on my hustle; this is America.
