Singer and television personality Ray J drew attention this week after making claims about his personal life during an appearance on the show “Funky Friday,” hosted by former NFL quarterback Cam Newton, as reported by TMZ [1].
During the interview, Ray J stated that he has had relationships with 12,500 women, a figure he discussed while reflecting on his past experiences in the entertainment industry. The comments were made in a conversational setting on the show, where Newton questioned the accuracy of the number.
Ray J said that an adult entertainment venue known as Booby Trap once hosted a party in recognition of the milestone. He described the event as drawing a large crowd, estimating that as many as 500 women were in attendance. He further claimed that he interacted with multiple individuals during that same evening.

Newton responded by challenging the math behind the claim, noting that reaching a total of 12,500 partners would require an average of more than one per day over several decades. He raised the calculation during the interview, expressing skepticism about whether the numbers added up.
Ray J maintained his position, explaining that his lifestyle during touring years contributed to higher numbers over shorter periods of time. He said that during those years, he would sometimes meet between five and ten women in a single day, attributing the pace to the demands and environment of being on tour.
The discussion continued with Ray J suggesting that his current lifestyle is less active than in previous years. He made a remark that he has “a thousand more” left in him, indicating that he views his past claims as part of a broader personal narrative rather than a precise tally.
The interview segment circulated widely online following its release, with viewers focusing on both the scale of the claim and the exchange between the two men. Newton’s on-air reaction, including his attempt to calculate the numbers in real time, became a focal point for discussion.
Neither Ray J nor Newton provided documentation or evidence supporting the figures mentioned during the interview. The comments were presented as part of a personal account during a casual discussion segment.
The show “Funky Friday” has featured a range of conversations with public figures, often covering topics related to sports, entertainment, and personal experiences. This particular segment drew additional attention due to the nature of the claims and the back-and-forth between the host and guest.
