Ray J and Kim Kardashian became each other’s ticket to fame after their split
Kim Kardashian was known among socialite circles and a handful of the public, but was nowhere near an A-lister when she started dating rapper, Ray J, in the early 2000s. Her then-boyfriend wasn’t a huge name either. However, the former couple skyrocketed to infamy after their split. A tape of their intimate moments was leaked online nearly a year after they split in 2006. The tape, along with the legal battle that ensued when Kim sued and won her lawsuit against the company that released the video online, made her entire family uber-famous. It also led all of them to become global celebrities and establish the Kardashian brand.
