Ray J put a very large number into the public record this week, or at least into the podcast record.
During an appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday, the singer claimed he has slept with 12,500 women. The figure was presented as Ray J’s own account, not as something independently verified, and Newton did what many listeners likely did immediately: he started calculating.
Ray J’s claim on Funky Friday
Ray J told Newton that an adult club called Booby Trap once held a party to mark the alleged milestone. According to Ray J, as many as 500 women attended the event, and he claimed he hooked up with many of them that same night.
Newton pushed back in real time. He noted that 12,500 partners would work out to more than one woman a day across roughly 30 years.
Ray J did not retreat from the number. He argued that the context mattered, especially during periods when he was touring. According to him, there were stretches of tour life when he was sleeping with five to ten women a day.
