American singer Ray J, born William Ray Norwood Jr., has sparked widespread reactions after revealing the number of women he claims to have slept with in his lifetime. During an appearance on the show Funky Friday, the controversial artist opened up about his relationships and stated that he has been intimate with 12,500 women.
Ray J's Claims and the Interviewer's Reaction
Ray J added that he still aims to reach 1,000 more partners before he stops. He also mentioned that a 'body count' party was organized when he reached the 10,000 mark. The interviewer expressed shock and questioned the mathematics behind his claim, noting that it would mean he had been with approximately one and a half women per day for 30 years.
When Ray J asked the interviewer about his own body count, the interviewer responded that he prefers not to have multiple affairs and has a very low number. Ray J encouraged him to continue being a role model.
Public Backlash and Comparisons
Fans were not impressed with Ray J's comments. Many criticized him and compared his claimed number to the size of electoral wards in some parts of Nigeria. Others suggested that his lifestyle may have contributed to a decline in his music career, with some claiming that certain women may have 'dealt with his destiny.'
