Ray J says he had up to 10 women a day in viral podcast confession

Ray J has drawn widespread attention after making a series of striking claims about his personal life during an appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast, where the discussion quickly shifted from music and celebrity culture into unusually candid territory.

During the long-form interview, Ray J stated that he estimates he has had around 12,500 sexual partners over the course of his life. The claim, made in a conversational and at times humorous tone, prompted immediate reactions from Cam Newton, who repeatedly questioned how such a figure could be possible in practical terms.

The conversation became increasingly detailed as Newton attempted to break down the numbers, suggesting that the figure would imply multiple encounters per day over many years. Ray J responded by insisting that his lifestyle, particularly during periods of touring, involved significantly higher daily activity, at one point suggesting he could have been with several partners in a single day while travelling for work.

A notable moment in the interview came when Ray J referenced having surpassed 10,000 partners and described celebrating the milestone with what he called a “booby trap” party. He claimed that hundreds of women he had previously been involved with attended the gathering, although the conversation remained informal and unverified, presented as personal anecdote rather than documented fact.

Cam Newton challenged the consistency of the figures throughout the discussion, at one point attempting to calculate an average based on Ray J’s age and lifestyle timeline. Ray J acknowledged the difficulty in reconciling the numbers but maintained that his estimate was accurate within his own experience.

The exchange also briefly referenced Wilt Chamberlain, who is historically associated with widely reported claims of having 20,000 to 25,000 sexual partners, as Newton compared public perception of such figures. Ray J stated that he did not expect to reach similar levels, adding that he believed he would not exceed an additional 1,000 partners going forward.

The interview has since circulated widely online, with viewers debating both the plausibility of the claims and the tone of the conversation. While Ray J’s statements were presented in a personal and anecdotal context, no independent verification of the figures was provided during the discussion.
