In this week’s edition of Blank Stare News: Ray-J’s “I Hit It First”
On a seemingly blissful Friday, I, like everyone else in my office, patiently waited for 5 o’clock to hit and begin my 48 hours of freedom. But then, straight out of the conclaves of what the f*ck, Ray J releases a blurred photo of Kim Kardashian walking on a sandy beach in a bikini with the words “I Hit It First.”
Annoyance ensued.
With a screw-face to boot, I asked my coworkers and editors what prompted such a juvenile act? Did Kim throw shade I wasn’t aware of? Did Kanye and his Yves Saint Laurent-wearing goons step to Brandy’s little brother? The song seemed so unprovoked and random.

But once I put on my thinking snap back, I realized I was more upset at our society’s inability to allow women to make mistakes and move on from them.
Women are held to a much higher standard because it seems society has accepted the notion men will f*ck up. This is a given and to be expected. So women are then the proverbial “designated drivers.” The responsible ones. The ones that cannot make a mistake, and if we do honey chile honey chile!
Although his actions are elementary, douche bag-esque and proof men indeed get their periods too, I could somewhat understand where Ray J was coming from if Kim weren’t doing anything with her life. But that’s not the case.
Must Read: How Much Is Kim Kardashian Worth?
Kim’s net worth is estimated at $40 million. She banks $80,000 per episode on her E! Reality TV Show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” She has the Sears Kardashian Kollection, an OPI Nail Polish Line, owns four DASH boutiques, her own signature perfume, did the super sexy Super Bowl ad for her endorsement deal with Skechers, gets a check from Midori Liquer and has partnered up with ShoeDazzle.com, and QuickTrim, weigh-loss supplement.
And those aren’t half the endorsements Kim K is bringing in. Plain and simple, Kim’s a boss, but we don’t necessarily treat her like that.
Your boy Ray J’s net worth is $6 million, far from starving but still moderate. His musical history is checkered with amazing one offs, such as his 2001 hit “Wait A Minute,” which peaked at No. 8 on U.S. R& B charts. Six years later, in 2007 “Sexy Can I” feat Yung “Stay Getting Got” Berg peaked at No. 4 on U.S. R& B charts. Let’s not forget his reality show “For The Love of Ray J” and his $1 million endorsement deal with Princereigns skin care company.
Okay, to be fair, Kim K is a special case. The sex tape is a pretty big mistake. Unless you’re a professional, having sex on camera with your boyfriend isn’t a good look. During the throes of unbridled passion and puppy love, everything is usually cool. But you never know what claws can come out when things go sour.
The sex tape was 10 years ago. Literally! Since then, the socialite, model, spokeswoman and reality television star has moved on, built her empire and expanded her brand. She’s dated, been married, (trying to get a divorce) and is now actually happily pregnant. Then Ray J pulls this stunt!? Why?
Ray J alleges the song isn’t about his famous ex, despite the lyrics
“I hit it north, with her a** going south, but now baby chose to go west.”
This isn’t the first time the R&B singer showed his behind. Back in July, Kimmy tweeted something rather inspiring “Keep your life in a positive perspective. We are not defined by our past.” Ray J then retweeted his ex, adding an “LOL,” an apparent dig and to be a certified penis!
The small comments here and there can be ignored, but this! This was crossing a line. What I don’t understand is why the weight of the Ray J/Kim Kardashian sex scandal is still relevant and solely falls on Kim’s shoulders!? It’s as if Ray J wasn’t on camera having sex showing the world his “Norwood.”
So when you look at the facts, pound for pound, Kim is winning! But the world won’t let this girl live. Why?
Will Kim ever be able to move past her past with Ray J?
Let me know what you think, let’s get a conversation going.
