We’ve seen singer and reality tv star Ray-J, partying it up with the ladies on ‘For The Love of Ray J’ and his infamous sex tape with Kim Kardashian. But he has a much more serious side, and recently revealed in an interview with AllHipHop he has plans to run for the mayor of his hometown of Carson California.
“I’m gonna be the mayor of Carson - the mayor of Carson, California,” Ray said. “Not now, I still got a lot of learning to do, focusing, reaching back out to the community and paying my dues. But in the future, coming around the stretch I do see myself doing stuff like that.
I’m from Carson and I see the struggles that we’re going through in the community. And I know what I can do. And I know what kind of help I can be with that community. Not just with the press and everybody coming along to the ride. But what I would do is show young African American youth, or just young kids in general . To go aspire to be a mayor, or go aspire to be a lawyer or doctor. Because this hip hop sh*t and this music industry has got a lot of people clouded. And they think that’s the only way to go, or to put out a sex tape and be successful, that sh*t is wack.”
Some may hear what Ray is saying about not putting out a sex tape, and feel like he’s being hypocritical since his XXX flick with Kim K gained them both a lot of notoriety. But Brandy’s little brother wants people to learn from his mistakes, although he says he doesn’t regret making it.
“I don’t regret nothing I ever did. I just learned from the things I’ve done, and I know how to grow from it and learn how to use anything negative that happened in my life and turn that into a positive. That’s my only goals and wishes as a man. But as far as taking s*t back, I don’t do nothing again. I’m keeping it 100... I’m good.” Ray said.
What do you guys think about Ray-J's aspirations to one day be the mayor of Carson?
