He starred in Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape Kim K Superstar.
And it appears Ray J doesn't want the reality star and her fiance Kanye West to forget it.
The 32-year-old singer's new single I Hit It First is blatantly about his relationship with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, and even features a blurred out picture of Kim, 32, on the cover.
Not exactly cryptic: Ray J's new single I Hit It
First, about his sex tape with Kim Kardashian, features a blurred out
2008 image of the reality star on its cover
In leaked lyrics of the song, due
out on April 9, Ray J clearly references his sex tape with Kim that
catapulted her to stardom after its release in 2007.
He also makes mention of Kanye, Kim's
fiance and father of the pregnant star's unborn child, as well as her
ex-husband Kris Humphries and ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush.
Not letting go: The rapper, pictured with Kim in 2006, lays claim to his ex in the new single, stating, 'she belongs in my bed'
'I had her head going North and her ass going South, but now baby chose to go West,' say the lyrics, according.
'No matter where she goes or who she knows, she still belongs in my bed,' he concludes in a proprietary way.
Ray J and Kim dated for five years before breaking up in 2007.
This isn't the first time he has publicly claimed responsibility for the twice-married star's fame.
In 2012, the rapper caused a stir when he retweeted Kim, adding a 'lol' ('lots of laughs').
'Lol RT @KimKardashian: Keep your life in a positive perspective. We are not defined by our pasts.'

He later explained his tweet in an interview with hip hop radio station Power 106:
'I felt like it was real, what [Kardashian tweeted],' Ray J said. 'I kinda laughed about it, 'cause it was 100.'
He then went on to address her relationship with Kanye, stating:
'I wish 'em the best. Life is a roller-coaster, so you never know what's gonna happen,' he said. 'But I wish 'em the best, much success to both of 'em. Yo, this whole thing is like a Magic Mountain experience.'
Perhaps in an indirect response to the leaked lyrics, Kim, who has so far remained mum about the single, rather chose to assert her new status as mother-to-be with a Twitter picture of her pregnant belly on Saturday.
