Ray J has weighed in on Kim Kardashian’s romance with Lewis Hamilton, and he’s not exactly optimistic.
During a recent podcast appearance, the singer said he “prays” for the seven-time Formula 1 champion, claiming he’s walking into a “very sticky situation.” The comment has sparked divided reactions online, with some critics pointing to Ray’s own past controversies, while others backed his take.
His remarks also come as reports suggest Kardashian and Hamilton are growing closer, with talk already turning to a potential shared home.
As Kardashian’s rumored romance with Hamilton continues to pick up steam, Ray J is weighing in on the conversation, saying he’s keeping the F1 star in his prayers.
During a recent sit-down with Cam Newton, the singer revisited his history with Kardashian, making fresh claims about their infamous tape and the fallout that followed, which he says he’s grown tired of revisiting. Still, when the conversation turned to Hamilton, Ray struck a more cautionary tone, praising the driver while warning he may be stepping into a messy dynamic.
Online reactions to Ray J’s comments were split, with some interpreting his warning as tongue-in-cheek, while others criticized him for inserting himself into Kardashian’s relationship with Hamilton.
On Reddit, one user wrote, “Weirdly enough, Ray is right, zero reason for Lewis to be dating Kim. You can find nonproblematic attractive women who are more aligned to you politically/moral values.”
Another viewer said they didn’t understand the comment at first, but came around after watching the clip.
“I had no context before I watched the video, but as an F1 fan I was like, ‘yeah me too man, me too,’” they said.
A more critical take read, “He should worry about fixing his own issues, of which there are many,” referencing Ray’s personal controversies as part of the backlash.
