Speaking to Heat, the singer's attempts to remain coy about his former lady love only went so far, and when pressed about whether she was 'obsessed with fame', he slightly relented, replying: 'I only did my part [in making her famous]. As a man I tried to play my part in the situation. If you're intelligent you can read between the lines'.
Following the 2003 leaked sex tape, rumours were rife that momager Kris Jenner leaked the tape following the success of Paris Hilton's racy flick, something the Kardashian family vehemently denied- landing $5million after suing the porn company.
Speaking about Kim's jaw-dropping rise to fame, Ray J certainly appeared to credit Kris, branding her 'a real, true hustler'.

Speaking about their relationship, Ray J revealed: 'Kim was just a ball of energy, always someone who was ready to have a good time all the time.'
But he was horrified when their sex tape, which he didn't have a copy of, leaked, admitting: 'When it came out I was like ''damn I'm done'' Whatever my sister's invited to they're going to put in a note saying 'Don't bring RayJ"'!
Meanwhile Ray J has married model Princess Love, who appears alongside him in reality show Love & Hip Hop.

The duo recently renewed their vows just six months after getting married, following his time in the Big Brother house.
Following his appearance in CBB earlier this month Ray J blasted Kanye West for dredging up the past in his recent hits, after Kim's husband reportedly banned rapper Ray J from talking about it.
Speaking in an interview with wife Princess Love, the 36-year-old branded Kanye hypocritical after he featured a naked waxwork of Ray J in his Famous promo.

'It was hypocritical to me, it was like why can't I speak on it then?' Ray J admitted during an interview on BBC Radio 1Xtra this week.
Defending her husband, natural beauty Princess Love jumped in with: 'You want to speak on it now that you're ready to sell records.
'Don't try to blackball him out of music, then talk about it when you're ready to make music, make money and profit from it.
'You want to speak on it now that you're ready to sell records', Princess Love said of Kanye, whose wife Kim Kardashian hit fame after making a sex tape with rapper Ray J in 2003
'It's just disgusting to me and it's tasteless. If you're about that life then don't stop him (Ray J) from making his money,' the outspoken stunner added.
'Was that more Kim or Kanye that was doing the blackballing?' DJ Ace asked.
'Kanye for sure', Princess Love, who stars on reality show Love & Hop Hop, clarified.

And directing his questioning back towards One Wish hitmaker Ray J, Ace added: 'You don't have a relationship with him (Kanye) at all?'
'My sister (singer Brandy) is friends with him so it's weird,' Ray J admitted.
And asked whether Princess feels awkward about the sex tape, she responded: 'He didn't do the Kim K sex tape while he was with me so I don't care.
'That's not him he's the hardest working person I know, he's business day and night.'

'Music and TV is just a fun side thing', Ray J added, 'to have a wife, somebody strong, is what god wants, she's strong and doesn't take cr*p'.
Last July it was reported that Ray J was considering to sue Kanye over the use of him as a naked doll in bed with Kim for the Famous promo.
His business manager, David Weintraub, told the Heat magazine: 'We're talking about potentially doing something.

Ray J echoed the sentiment: 'Even when I wasn’t with her, I told my friends "She the one, she the one". It was just something about how I felt when she was around me.'
