Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner demanded $US7 million ($10 million) from Ray J after he allegedly breached a secret deal over the former couple’s 2007 sex tape scandal.
Legal drama surrounding the tape culminated in a 2023 settlement, which reportedly included a nondisclosure agreement barring the parties from speaking out or making any false claims about it.
Under the agreement, the Kardashians stars were said to have paid the rapper — whose real name is William Ray Norwood, Jr. — a whopping $6 million in instalments, with the final million due in 2026.
However, according to documents obtained by Page Six, Jenner and Kardashian blasted Ray J in a May 2025 legal letter, accusing him of violating the NDA and demanding that he return the $US5 million ($6.9 million) they paid him thus far, and pay them an additional $1 million each ($1.3 million).
In a 2025 livestream, without any supporting evidence, Ray J accused the reality stars of being investigated for racketeering.
Kardashian and Jenner responded by suing the rapper for defamation in October 2025, calling his claims “blatantly false,” and stating in court documents that “no such federal investigation exists”.
Ray J countersued in November 2025. The musician denied he defamed the reality-famous duo and pointed to their own comments on The Kardashians as alleged proof they had violated the NDA themselves.
He’s also repeatedly accused the mother-daughter duo of orchestrating the release of the tape — a claim they blasted as “a lie” and “absolutely false” in declarations filed in Los Angeles last month.
A resurfaced legal letter obtained by Page Six — which was issued on October 3, right after the lawsuit was filed — again alleged Ray J had “materially breached” the agreement by speaking about the 2023 settlement during an October livestream, during which he allegedly “disclosed the existence, terms, and conditions” of the agreement.
The letter, from Kardashian and Jenner’s lawyers to Ray J, demanded that the hit maker “immediately remit” the $US5 million ($6.9 million) he’d been paid, in addition to $US1 million ($1.3 million) “per breach,” equalling $7 million.
They also claimed that “all remaining payment obligations are now extinguished,” referencing the 2023 settlement, which according to the docs, was signed by Jenner, Kardashian, Ray J and Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood.
Last month, Kardashian and Jenner lost a legal bid to keep parts of the 2023 settlement with Ray J private.
The duo had argued that releasing details of the settlement “would cause substantial harm” to their privacy — however, Judge Steven A. Ellis ruled that they “presented no admissible evidence” that the details becoming public would be harmful to them.
