Ray J has accused Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner for being the driving force behind getting their infamous 2007 sex tape published to the world.
"I've sat in the shadows for over 14 years allowing the Kardashians to use my name, to abuse my name, make billions of dollars over a decade-and-a-half talking about a topic I've never really spoken about," he told the Daily Mail in an explosive exclusive interview.
He then dropped the bombshell: "I've never leaked anything. I have never leaked a sex tape in my life. It has never been a leak.

"It's always been a deal and a partnership between Kris Jenner and Kim and me and we've always been partners since the beginning of this thing."
The rapper, whose real name is Ray Norwood, said all The Kardashians star had to do was go find 'Sex Tape Cabo #1' and then 'present it' for distribution.
"I never had a tape in my possession in our whole relationship," the 41-year-old rapper said.

"I never had a single one at my house – she had them at her house. She's always had all the tapes in a Nike shoe box under her bed."
Ray J said he joked to Kim about doing the tape after seeing how Paris Hilton's profile was boosted when her infamous 'One Night In Paris' sex tape was leaked.
“Once I pitched the idea to her, just playing around a little bit, that’s when she jumped on the idea, talked to her mom and it was out of my hands from there," he explained to the MailOnline.
The father-of-two revealed the Kardashian-Jenners have a copy of a second sex tape.

Ray J said he decided to speak up after claims made by Kim and her family were shown in a recent episode of new Hulu show The Kardashians.
In the episode, Kim said Ray J could have a video of him 'sticking a dildo in my a**' while she was sleeping.
Norwood said Kim's claims were untrue and made him sound 'like a rapist'.
Later in the episode, footage indicated Kanye had flown to Los Angeles to obtain the final footage from Ray J, which the rapper denies.

The 41-year-old father said he gave Kanye - now known as Ye - a laptop filled with stuffed with intimate photos and 'mini-videos' sent to him during and after his four-year relationship with Kim.
He said he had previously kept quiet after signing a contract over the tapes without legal advice, but now refuses to carry on with the farce.
"I can't live the rest of my life in this lie. This morning, I woke up and said, you know what? For the remainder of my life, I'm going to live in my truth and not in the lie that's been created by Kris Jenner and Kim," he said to the Daily Mail.

"I will not let them do this to me anymore."
Norwood said he wanted to share his truth now he has a daughter of his own to prove to her he's not 'a bad guy who exploits and disrespects women'.
