Ray J Calls Himself An Embarrassment, Says He No Longer Talks To Brandy

Ray J opened up about his fractured relationship with his sister, Brandy Norwood, and said he feels like a disappointment to his family during a revealing appearance on the "Drop the Lo" podcast, hosted by Evelyn Lozada and her daughter, Shaniece Hairston.

The singer and entrepreneur opened up when asked about his current standing with his sister, saying, "I love my sister. But I'm an embarrassment... to them."




He confirmed they're not on speaking terms and pointed to long-standing family tensions and a lingering sense of not fitting in.




When asked directly if he felt accepted by his family, Ray J responded, "I never wanted to be accepted. I just feel like I'm an embarrassment."




Despite the silence between them, he said his children still have a strong bond with Brandy and her daughter.




Ray J also expressed frustration with how he feels boxed in by his family's expectations.




"You want me to be something else, but I'm superseding everything y'all doing," he declared, pushing back at the idea that he should change who he is to gain approval.
