On a recent episode of Cam Newton’s Funky Friday, Ray J offered a claim that quickly became a talking point online. Speaking during a lengthy sit-down with former NFL quarterback Cam Newton, he said he had been with 12,500 women. The figure landed with little hesitation, presented as part of a broader, ongoing narrative he has shared in past interviews about his personal life.

The claim was not entirely new. On the BagFuel podcast, Ray J had previously described a moment he framed as a milestone. “Here’s what’s crazy. I just did the big celebration. They did the whole confetti at Booby Trap. I was celebrating 10,000 bodies.” He later expanded on the number with less certainty, saying, “It’s probably like 11,900… I don’t know if that’s for sure, but I know it reached 10 once I got all the way there.” During the Funky Friday exchange, he returned to the earlier figure before revising it upward again to 12,500.

Cam Newton reacted with visible surprise and began running through the implications in real time. Ray J, unshaken, stood by the estimate and even suggested the pace varied significantly depending on touring schedules. “Yeah, the math is different ’cause when we’re on tour, we’re thinking five to ten a day.”

The conversation unfolded alongside separate legal proceedings involving Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. The dispute centers on a past settlement tied to a 2023 agreement involving a sex tape that drew widespread attention years earlier. A judge recently declined to keep the terms confidential, opening the door for greater public scrutiny.

Reports have indicated the settlement included a multimillion-dollar payment in exchange for limiting public discussion of the tape. In November 2025, Ray J filed a countersuit, arguing that the agreement had been violated after references appeared on a Hulu series connected to the Kardashian family.
