- agreed, is wikipedia a supermarket tabloid magazine now? how about some paparazzi shots too!
This article is absolutely awful. possibly the worst I've read on Wikipedia. Why is he labeled a "Porn Star?" Because he was in one sex video that was accidentally released?

I agree! I particularly liked the line "This rumor seems very incredibly." [sic]
All that's really missing is the use of the word 'like' between every like other like word, for the total experience.

Hi. I was identified by Wikipedia as editing this page from IP address 69.125.163.174 in January 2011, even though I only got the message now (in December 2015), despite my having been on Wikipedia steadily for all the years in between. I'm going to have to guess that the IP address comes from this laptop, which is a used one and which I just got less than a week ago.

This article has a line in the 'personal life' section claiming he was in a relationship with Whitney Houston before her death. It wasn't sourced, and I don't see anything about that in her article, so I removed it. Statements about personal relationships are the type of claim that, per WP:BLP, should only be included if they are supported by reliable sources. Robofish ( talk) 21:56, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
The following sentence is currently under Reality Television: "He also played the role of Roberto in the movie Christmas at Water's Edge in 2004." It should be moved to Acting Career, but not at the end, keep the paragraph in chronological order. Or do something else with it! I don't care but it doesn't belong under Reality Television.

Hi there, there are two edits that should be reflected with his electronics brand, Raycon, as it has not been updated for some time and there have been some changes. - Change 'Raycon Global Inc' section to 'Raycon Inc' -> this is the updated business name on record (Source = https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/ecorp/entitysearch/namesearch.aspx) - Change the section summary to "In October 2017, Ray J co-founded a consumer electronics brand called Raycon, which sells wireless audio products at accessible price points. Through its direct-to-consumer website, Raycon serves customers in the United States and Europe. In 2020, Raycon passed the 1 million customer mark. As Chief Strategy Officer, Ray J oversees brand and strategy." -> I believe this reflects the update on the business more accurately, sounds less ad-like.
