Ray J is potentially the first of those depicted naked in Kanye West’s “Famous” video, to take legal action. According to Daily Mail, Ray J and his manager, David Weintraub are in the midst of discussing plans to take legal action against Kanye West for the unauthorized inclusion and naked depiction of the R&B singer.

Earlier this month Kanye West released the largely controversial music video to his stand out track “Famous.” While there are many things to take away from The Life Of Pablo, one particular line had social media in an uproar.

“Too all my southside n***** that know me best/I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/why? I made that b**** famous”

While this is obviously controversial for many reasons, its the visuals that now has people talking. The video in question is a 10:44 minute, avant-garde take on a few celebrities in which have directly affected Kanye’s own life. In proceeding order, George Bush, Anna Wintour, Donald trump, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian-West, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner, and finally Bill Cosby, are all depicted naked in wax form, lying next to each other beneath white sheets, on a large bed. While the visuals alone would understandably be tough to digest for anyone, it appears to be the order in which they’ve been placed that’s causing Ray J the most pain. This stemming from years ago in which a sex tape between the now wife of Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and former lover Ray J, propelled them into infamous stardom.

Regarding Ray J’s position on pursuing legal situation, Weintraub told Heat Magazine “We’re talking about potentially doing something. There’s too many times Kanye has done this. You can’t really continue to use people’s likenesses without either compensation or clearance. It seems to be becoming an issue—this is like the fourth time in six months he’s done this. We haven’t really worked anything out. There were kind of discussions but it’s getting old, so our legal team is working out what we want to do with everything.”

Legal action may be happening sooner rather than later considering Ray J isn’t too pleased with the amount of controversy the new music video has caused him in his personal life. Last week, Ray J told Entertainment Tonight “I’m engaged. My marriage is all messed up ’cause of craziness. I’m not part of nothing crazy. I walk down a good path. My fiancee tripping. It’s all bad in my world, and that ain’t cool. Don’t put me part of nothing that’s weird, that don’t make no sense. Can I grow up?”

It will be interesting to see how Ray J and his legal team proceed with this unusual case, however it looks like Kanye Wests tweet daring someone to sue him over the video may just come true after all (watch video below).

Earlier today on Ellen, Kanye West showed up, showed out, and “put some dope s**t” on day time television. The known rapper turned fashion designer– also known for his outbursts regardless of the platform– gave the audience something new for a change. A positive rant.

His form and stature was similar to all the rest of his rants. A lot of dramatic pauses, sudden outbursts, and awkward body motions. But this is exactly what makes Kanye, Kanye. Ellen Degeneres was shown throughout the rant looking a tad uncomfortable while watching West twitch around the stage. However, one can say his public speaking has gotten better through the years, referring to his, “George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People” spiel during the wake of Katrina in 2005.

As the rant went on, one can tell that West is starting to accept and understand himself more and only wants the public to as well. Though the Kanye talking about Kanye is omnipresent throughout the 8 minute rant, it is clear that Kanye does love Kanye as he speaks on how he was “raised for greatness.” Mentioning his mother and father’s accomplishments and hardships, his own accomplishments, and a brief ode to the hip-hop and the artists he grew up on shows Kanye’s true colors.

The audience can only agree with him as he speaks about wanting to make a difference and impact the world in a great way. As a fan, I personally believe he already has. With his “No Regrets” attitude and seemingly philanthropic attitude one can only hope he means what he says. Through fashion and music Kanye has truly made a name for himself in the art world and will continue to. Whether or not he gets that 53 thousand dollars he’s called out Mark Zuckerberg for TWICE now, I believe Kanye can better the planet.

Watch his uplifting rant!
