Ray J Claims He Has Slept With 12,500 Women in Podcast Interview

Singer and TV personality Ray J says he has slept with about 12,500 different women, a claim he made during a long interview on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast.

Near the end of the three-hour conversation, Newton questioned Ray J about an earlier claim that he had been with 11,500 women. Ray J then updated the number, saying it is now closer to 12,500. He said he made it a goal to pass 10,000 and even celebrated reaching that number with a party attended by hundreds of past partners.

Newton appeared doubtful and tried to break down the math. Based on Ray J’s age, he suggested that would mean being with more than one new partner every day for decades. Ray J responded that the numbers were higher during tour periods, claiming he could meet five to ten women a day at those times.

The conversation became confusing at points, with Newton repeatedly questioning whether such numbers were realistic. Ray J also made exaggerated comparisons, suggesting some people have far higher yearly numbers, which Newton challenged.

Despite his claims, Ray J said he does not expect to reach the record often associated with basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, who once claimed 25,000 partners. Ray J said he believes he could add about 1,000 more, but not much beyond that.
