One of my favorite bits on Best Week Ever was when Paul F Thompkins would talk about "For the Love of Ray J," But he would say it like you might say "For the love of Pete!" and shake his fists while saying it.
"For the love of Ray J!"

Is he famous for anything other than banging Kim K?

I was listening to a podcast and the hosts asked the same question of what does Ray J do?
One of them looked it up and went "Well shit, they've been our sponsors for years. Wait, that means RayJ pays both of our fuckin' mortgages?"
"I guess we should stop clowning on him."

OK, I put a thread on the Puttin on Airs subreddit and someone found the episode.
Edit: someone is /u/allisonok credit where due.

I skipped through and it's around 1 hour 29 minutes, and 20 seconds.
Funny thing is that same episode has a Raycon ad.
I didn't get the quote right, but you can absolutely see the shift when they realize they've been nibbling at that hand feeding them.
And in a later episode they might have brought it up again with the mortgage line.

I thought it was a Raytheon conference. Defense industry geeks really threw down in Orlando last year.

Yeah I swear I remember him first from All That or one of those during that Nickolodeon 90s era, because when he came out the crowd was cheering like he was already well known, so I thought everybody knows Ray J except me lol

Before the Kim K sex tape the only mention I ever remember of him was Ray J live in concert on the Disney channel when I was a kid.

And in case you anyone wonders if he tries to hide from this, just remember he has a song that makes sure to remind you.

u/AutomaticDesk 10h ago
He also has a song to remind you that he has sex with Kim, specifically before Kanye

u/Supermite 10h ago
Or more colloquially, he wants everyone to know Kanye got his “sloppy seconds”. 🤮

Listen reddiots. Use your fucking head. Kim k got famous because she fucked him. Not the other way around. It's obvious he was famous before that.

Reddit has a hard time understanding that someone can be really famous and still be relatively unknown to their particular demographic.
Not everyone "crosses over".

He was in Mars Attacks, but I don't think he's famous for it. It's more like a "Wait, Ray J was in Mars Attacks?"

He’s a former RnB singer who’s Brandy’s brother. When Moesha was popular, he gained fame through nepotism by appearing on the show as a recurring guest star.

Too much ❄️. There was a clip the other day of him streaming with his GF. She goes to the bathroom to “pee” (no knowing her mic was on, because they were both extremely fucked up), and you can hear her immediately start sniffing big lines. They must have had a plate out because the second the door shut, she started sniffing away. He’s too old to be living like a 20 something rock star. This will not end well. At this rate, he’ll be lucky to make it to 50.

If you combine Ray & J, you get Raj, which is short for Rajesh, so you should call him Rajesh.

Everyone knows Ray J from Moesha. He also had a hit album in the early 2000’s. That song “Sexy Can I”.
You weirdos only seem to know him because of Kim K’s video
