Ray J is proud of Kanye sex tape reference

Ray J is proud Kanye West referenced his sex tape with Kim Kardashian on a song.

The R&B star - who appeared in the raunchy film with the 32-year-old reality TV star in 2007, which kick-started her rise to fame - was happy when he learned Kanye referred to the intimate home movie in his song 'Clique' because it reflects 'real life'.

In the track, Kanye - who is expecting his first child with Kim - raps: 'My girl a superstar all from a home movie.'

Ray J said: 'A few people called me and I was like, 'That's what music is about, talking about real life.' '

Although his own latest single, 'I Hit It First', refers to a girl who 'might move on to rappers and ballplayers,' who 'chose to go west' and with whom he wants to make 'another movie,' Ray J is adamant it isn't about Kim, despite the apparent references.

He told Yahoo! Music: 'When people first heard the lyrics or read the lyrics online they kinda took the song somewhere it wasn't supposed to go.

'It's life put into a music form from my perspective.'

However, he is rumoured to have cast a Kim lookalike for the accompanying music video, which he says 'pokes fun' at his life.

He added: 'I'm not going to say it's a parody but it is us having fun, us kinda poking fun at my life and what we been through and just keeping everything fun.'

And Ray - who also dated the late Whitney Houston - refused to admit whether Kim is the woman in the pixelated image that adorns the single cover, saying only: 'I can't really say what the picture is because it will give it away.'
