Ray J has claimed he had nothing to do with the leaking of the 2007 sex tape he made with then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
The One Wish singer, 41, accused the Kardashians of 'abusing his name' to make money out of the situation, as he opened up about the scandal for the first time.
In a bombshell interview with the Daily Mail, Ray J said: "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."
"I’ve never leaked anything. I have never leaked a sex tape in my life. It has never been a leak."
He went on to claim that he never possessed a copy of any of the sex tapes the former couple made together.
According to Ray J, Kim kept the copies in a Nike shoebox under her bed.
The infamous tape was made when the couple, who started dating in 2002, were both 21 years old and celebrating Kim's birthday on holiday.
In 2007, before the tape was released, Kim sued Vivid Entertainment for invasion of privacy and for the profits from and ownership of the tape.
She dropped the case two months later, settling with the company for a reported $5million.
Mirror have contacted Kris and Kim's representatives for comment.
It comes after Kim was filmed crying over an 'unreleased sex tape' in a new episode of The Kardashians.
Viewers saw the mum weeping in a hotel room hours before the filming of her Saturday Night Live episode as she feared another scandal.
Kim then said her estranged husband Kanye West saved the day as she told how he flew out to Los Angeles to 'retrieve the tape from Ray J'.

Openly crying, she explained: “[Kanye] got me all of the sex tape back. He flew home and got the computer, it was on a hard drive. He met up with Ray J at the airport and got it all back for me.”
Kim then told the Hulu cameras: “I know Kanye did this for me, but he also did this for my kids. I want to shield them as much as I can.
“If I have the power to or Kanye has the power to, that is the most important thing to me. I'm just so emotional because of it. It just means a lot to me.”
