Did Kim Kardashian secretly pay Ray J $5 million hush money?

Ray J claims Kim Kardashian paid him $5 million hush money, as he hits back at Kim and Kris Jenner's defamation suit

Ray J has hit back hard at Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner after news broke that the mother-daughter duo filed a defamation lawsuit against him. The filing came after Ray J repeatedly alleged that the Kardashians were the subject of a federal racketeering probe, accusations they have categorically denied. Now, the dispute has escalated further, with Ray J going public with new, explosive claims that are already causing a storm online.

During a livestream, Ray J dismissed the lawsuit and accused the family of attempting to control him. He described their legal move as an effort to make him a “slave,” and claimed that the paperwork conveniently left out millions he says he was previously paid as hush money. “Kim already paid me $5 million to keep quiet,” he said, insisting that the transaction had been swept under the rug.

The singer and reality TV figure also doubled down on his long-standing allegation that Kris Jenner pressured him into filming multiple sex tapes with Kim in the early 2000s. He claimed that the arrangement was orchestrated to build the Kardashian brand, and that he has been unfairly vilified in the years since. At one point in his fiery rebuttal, Ray J escalated his attack further, accusing Kim and Kris of “trying to kill the Black community” and declaring that “people deserve to know” the truth about what he says really went on behind the scenes.

Ray J suggested that he has even more damaging information to share but stopped short of unveiling it, warning that the time for those revelations has not yet arrived. His words left the impression that further accusations could still be on the way, keeping both fans and critics on edge.

The lawsuit itself, filed earlier this week, paints a very different picture. According to Kim and Kris, Ray J’s repeated statements about federal investigations and criminal activity are flat-out false and have tarnished their reputations globally. Legal experts have already begun weighing in, noting that if Ray J’s $5 million hush money claim were true, it could create significant complications in court.

Reaction across social media has been divided, with many pointing out that Ray J has made similar claims before without producing hard evidence, while others argue that the Kardashians’ silence on his new allegations only fuels speculation. As the legal battle intensifies, both sides appear determined to drag each other deeper into scandal, and with Ray J hinting at more revelations to come, this feud shows no sign of cooling off.
