In a deeply emotional and revealing interview with Cam Newton, Ray J reflected on the complexities of his relationship with his sister, Brandy, offering a raw glimpse into how fame, family expectations, and personal growth have shaped their bond—or fractured it.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Ray J declared, “I’m not a brother anymore.” At first, Cam pressed for clarity, asking whether Ray J meant he no longer saw himself as Brandy’s sibling. Ray J paused before explaining, “I love my sister, but I don’t think I’m her brother anymore... I’m just me.”
The singer and entrepreneur went on to talk about how life evolves in phases, and with that evolution, some relationships drift apart—even ones you thought were unbreakable. “A thug changes, love changes, and best friends become strangers,” he said.
Though he made it clear that Brandy is not to blame, Ray J admitted to feeling “exiled” from parts of his family circle. He shared a moment when he was allegedly told not to attend a Disney event involving Brandy, under the claim that it was an “18 and over” affair—something Ray J found questionable. “Just tell me I’m not invited because I’m a bad look, but don’t lie to me,” he said.
Despite the heartbreak, Ray J was careful not to place the blame squarely on Brandy. In fact, he credited her for helping change his life. “Brandy was the first person who believed in me. She took me on tour, helped me out of trouble, and gave me a way out,” he said. That loyalty and gratitude still run deep, even as he struggles with current tensions.
When Cam suggested that Ray J might be masking deeper hurt, the “One Wish” singer didn’t deny it, but he also didn’t dive too deeply into specifics. He acknowledged that things were still fresh, hinting that the rift is recent and unresolved. “This just happened,” he said, referencing his current emotional state.
Ray J also became candid about his mental health, admitting to dealing with attention and focus challenges that sometimes impact how he communicates. He described the overwhelming nature of his thoughts, adding that it sometimes leads to frustration and confusion in the moment.
Still, at the heart of the conversation was a message of love—buried under layers of hurt, misunderstanding, and growth. Ray J’s words may have sounded final, but the emotion behind them suggested a door that isn’t completely closed. “Family is family,” he said. “And we have each other’s backs.”
