Ray J, 45, claims he's slept with over 12,000 women

Ray J claims he has slept with well over 12,000 women.

The 45-year-old singer has made a staggering confession about his love life, insisting the number of women he's slept with has reached five figures, and he credits the high number with his experiences on tour.

He told the Funky Friday podcast: "These are 10,000 different people. It's at, like, 12,500 now, but I wanted to get to 11.

"I was guaranteed 10. I didn’t want to be at 9,000, and I wanted to be at 11. Then… we went to 10. Just wanted to make sure I was over.”

Podcast host Cam Newton was sceptical about the number, pointing out that at Ray J's age, that meant "sleeping with a little over one and a half women a day for 30 years".

However, the star suggested: "Yeah, the math is different, because when we're on tour, we're thinking five to 10 a day."

He guessed that there have been around 3,500 times where he slept with "three or more" partners at once.

Newton was incredulous when Ray J defended his high number, claiming he knows women who sleep with 45,000 men a year.

The podcast host argued: "There's only 365 days in a year."

When it comes to his own bedroom habits, Ray J insisted he won't be trying to hit Wilt Chamberlain's alleged number of 25,000.

He said: "I can only f*** a thousand more... I can't do anymore."

Ray J - who has dated the likes of Kim Kardashian and Brittany Pena in the past - insisted he had hundreds of his previous sexual partners turn up to a party at the Booty Trap Club once he hit the 10,000 mark.

He claimed: "I had about 400 or 500 girls that I f***** with came through, supported... It was a massive parade."

Meanwhile, Ray J's ex Kim and her mother Kris Jenner recently lost a bid to keep details of a settlement they reached with the singer a secret.

The Kardashians stars sued the singer - who was infamously Kim's partner in her 2007 sex tape - for defamation last October after they accused him of waging a decades-long campaign against them with his repeated claims that they are the subject of a federal criminal investigation into racketeering, and he hit back in a countersuit which alleged the pair had violated the provisions of a settlement agreement they reached in 2023 over the sex tape.

Ray had claimed he was paid $6 million to never speak about the sex tape but argued his former lover and her mom had violated the deal by discussing the topic on their reality show.

According to court paperwork obtained by TMZ, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has denied Kim and Kris’ request to seal certain documents, including the terms of the 2023 deal because it was felt they hadn't presented enough evidence that they would be caused harm if the specifics of the settlement were made public.

Kim and Kris' lawyers argued: “The agreement resolved highly sensitive matters that the parties explicitly agreed to keep confidential in order to protect their families from public disclosure and respect these sensitive matters."

Ray had opposed the request and the judge agreed, ordering Kim and Kris to file unredacted versions of the agreement.
