Ray J went live on Twitch and alleged that Kim Kardashian paid him $6m in 2023 as hush money. The singer appeared to show banking and payment information on stream while discussing the alleged payment.
Viewers reported that Ray J displayed receiving account details during the broadcast. He framed the payment as an attempt to keep him quiet about unspecified matters related to their past. The $6m claim has not been independently verified.
Ray J said during the stream that money isn’t everything to him and that he “can’t be bought.” The broadcast kicked off immediate speculation about potential non-disclosure agreements and whether publicly discussing such a payment could create legal exposure.
Kardashian and her representatives have issued a public response to the allegation, saying that they’re suing for defamation.
This isn’t the first time Ray J has made public claims about the Kardashian family. In 2022, he went live on social media alleging that Kris Jenner helped orchestrate the release of his and Kim’s 2007 sex tape. Jenner publicly denied those claims at the time.
The 2007 tape was released by Vivid Entertainment as “Kim Kardashian, Superstar.” Kim filed a lawsuit to block the release and later settled. She has consistently denied any claims that the release was planned or orchestrated.
Ray J recently exited Raycon Global, the wireless audio company he co-founded in 2017. Multiple outlets reported the payout ranged into the tens of millions, though exact figures haven’t been publicly confirmed.
The timing of Ray J’s Twitch allegations comes years after their relationship ended but continues a pattern of public disputes between the two sides. If a non-disclosure agreement does exist, making these claims public could carry legal consequences.
Displaying sensitive financial information on stream may also violate Twitch’s terms of service regarding personal data. It remains unclear whether Twitch has taken any moderation action on the broadcast.
