Ray J just set the internet ablaze with one of his most candid—and controversial—interviews to date.
During a revealing appearance on Cam Newton’s “Funky Friday” podcast, the One Wish singer made emotionally charged comments about his strained relationship with his sister, Brandy Norwood, sparking concern, confusion, and plenty of chatter online.
It all started when Newton introduced Ray J as “Brandy’s brother,” a title the singer-turned-entrepreneur immediately rejected.
“That’s a big intro, but I’m not a brother no more, man,” Ray J declared bluntly.
When Newton asked him to clarify, Ray J doubled down:

Fans in Shock Over Family Rift
Fans who grew up watching Brandy and Ray J as a dynamic sibling duo—from Moesha to Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business—were left speechless by the comments. Social media erupted with reactions, ranging from heartbreak to speculation about deeper family issues.
One user tweeted:
“Ray J and Brandy not being close anymore feels like the end of an era. What happened??”
“I’m An Embarrassment”: Ray J’s Struggle with Family Identity
Ray J opened up further, revealing that he sees himself in a completely new phase of life—one that no longer includes many people from his past, even family.
“You grow out of, like, this first phase of life, and there’s a second phase,” he explained. “In the second phase, a lot of the people in the first phase are no longer there.”
He quoted Nas, saying, “A thug changes, and best friends become strangers.”
“Sometimes you try to get it back, but when you’re treated like it’s still the first wave, then you understand what you have to do,” Ray J said. “I care, but I don’t give a f**k.”
The language may be raw, but the pain is clearly real.
Ray J Alleges He Was Cut Off from Family Events
As if things couldn’t get messier, Ray J revealed a specific incident that made him feel unwanted by his own family. According to him, he was disinvited from a major family event — a Disney movie premiere starring Brandy.
He says his cousin, who also manages Brandy, told him the event was “18 and over,” and that he and his 6-year-old daughter, Melody Love Norwood, weren’t allowed to attend.
“That one hurt. That was Melody’s moment too,” Ray J said.
Fans online have speculated this may have been the final straw in an already fragile family dynamic.
He Credits Brandy With Saving His Life… But Still Feels Distant
Despite the emotionally charged claims, Ray J did take a moment to give Brandy credit for launching his career and turning his life around when he was younger.
“Brandy’s the first person who ever put me on,” he said. “She believed in me, took me on tour, moved me out of the hood. Her and my mom saved my life.”
However, even after expressing that deep gratitude, Ray J once again circled back to his original point:
“I don’t know why I said that. I can’t believe I said it. But I said it, so f**k it—and I meant it.”
A Pattern of Public Oversharing?
Ray J’s comments come just weeks after Brandy allegedly “hated” him for comments he made during Kai Cenat’s viral sleepover stream. In that incident, Ray J’s behavior on the stream sparked backlash from fans and reportedly tension with Brandy.
And let’s not forget — this is the same Ray J who has made headlines for:
- Allegedly leaking private messages
- Apologizing to Sexyy Red after inappropriate remarks
- Speaking out about being sexually assaulted by a babysitter during childhood
Ray J has never shied away from sharing everything. But this time, fans are wondering: Is he pushing his family too far?
What’s Really Going On Behind the Scenes?
Some insiders say the sibling tension may stem from ongoing career differences, generational values, and management decisions that have caused them to drift apart.
Others believe Ray J is simply crying out for connection during a turbulent phase in his life.
Whatever the truth is, Ray J’s latest revelations show a deep emotional fracture—one that fans hope isn’t beyond repair.
What’s Next for Ray J & Brandy?
Whether the two will ever reconcile is unclear. But Ray J’s final words in the podcast suggest he’s done holding back—even if it means burning bridges along the way.
“I meant it. That’s where I’m at.”
