Ray J's Wedding Gift to Kim Kardashian: Almost $50,000 in Sex Tape Profits
Kardashian Fans and Social Media Users Slam Crude Gesture
Ray J's wedding gift to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West is about $47,000— the last four months' profit from his infamous 2007 sex tape with the soon-to-be-bride. The crude gesture from the R&B singer comes only days before the Yeezus rapper and the E! reality star are to be married in Paris, France.
Ray J's wedding gift represents sales from his sex tape from Kim Kardashian. The four months' profit is $6,135.60 in January, $20,097.31 in February, $9,674.76 in March and $10,931.52 in April for a total of $46,840.13. The profits only represent Ray J's half of the money, as Kim Kardashian receives money too, according to TMZ.
The 7-year-old sex tape that catapulted Kardashian to stardom and infamy has grossed over $50 million so far, Vivid Entertainment revealed. The R&B singer and little brother of Brandy said that if Kardashian doesn't accept the wedding gift he'll donate the profits to her favorite charity.
