Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are demanding $7 million from Ray J for allegedly violating a secret agreement surrounding the former couple’s 2007 sex tape scandal.
The legal battle over the tape culminated in a settlement in 2023 that reportedly included a non-disclosure agreement barring the parties from speaking out or making false claims about the tape.
Under the agreement, the Kardashians would reportedly pay the rapper (real name William Ray Norwood Jr.) a whopping $6 million in installments, with the final $1 million to be paid in 2026.
However, according to documents obtained by Page Six, Jenner and Kardashian slammed Ray J in a May 2025 legal letter, accusing him of violating his NDA and demanding that he return the $5 million they had paid him and pay him an additional $1 million each.
In a 2025 livestream, Ray J accused reality stars of being investigated for extortion without any substantiation.
Kardashian and Jenner sued Kardashian for defamation in October 2025, calling his claims “patently false” and saying in court documents that “no such federal investigation exists.”
Ray J filed a countersuit in November 2025. The musicians deny defamation claims against the famous real-life duo, citing their own comments about the “Kardashians” as evidence that they themselves allegedly violated non-disclosure agreements.
He has also repeatedly accused the mother-daughter duo of orchestrating the release of the tape, slamming the claims as “lies” and “absolutely false” in a tax return filed in Los Angeles last month.
The resurfaced legal letter, obtained by Page Six and published on Oct. 3, shortly after the lawsuit was filed, again claims that Ray J was in “material breach” of the agreement when he spoke about the 2023 settlement on a livestream in October, in which he allegedly “disclosed the existence, terms, and conditions” of the agreement.
A letter from Kardashian and Jenner’s lawyers to Ray J requested “immediate remittance” of $1 million (equivalent to $7 million) “for each violation” in addition to the $5 million paid to Kardashian and Jenner.
They also pointed to a 2023 settlement signed by Jenner, Kardashian, Ray J, and Ray J’s mother Sonya Norwood, which they claimed “extinguished all remaining payment obligations,” according to the documents.
Representatives for Ray J, Kardashian and Jenner did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Saturday. TMZ was first to report the news.
Last month, Kardashian and Jenner lost a legal bid to keep part of their 2023 settlement with Ray J private.
The two argued that making the details of the settlement public would cause “serious harm” to their privacy. However, Judge Stephen A. Ellis ruled that they had “not presented any admissible evidence” that it would be harmful to them for the details to be made public.
