Kim Kardashian's infamous tape has been 'released as an album' by the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star herself, who kept her only copy hidden in a Nike shoe box under her bed along with the other tapes she made with Ray J.
Speaking for the first time about the tape in an interview with Dailymail, Ray J said he never owned a copy of any of the tapes they made together.
He also insists he never did any of the things she claims she did on the new Kardashians Hulu show.

Ray J - whose real name is Ray Norwood - told Dailymail: "I've been in the shadows for over 14 years allowing the Kardashians to use my name, abuse my name, make billions of dollars over a decade and talk about a topic I've never talked about."
"I've never leaked anything. I've never leaked a sex tape in my life. It's always been an agreement and a partnership between me, Kris Jenner and Kim and we've always been partners since the beginning of this thing."
The former couple, who got together in 2002 when they were both 21, made the infamous tape on her birthday that year.

It was published respectively in 2007.
Ray J, now 41, told Dailymail that releasing the video was his idea and he suggested it to Kim after seeing how Paris Hilton's profile had risen when the film she made with Rick Saloman was revealed.
While Kim claims she didn't want to do it, Ray J says the 41-year-old embraced the idea and asked her mother Kris Jenner to arrange her release via VividEntertainment.
The eventual contract, which was signed by Ray J and Kim, was for three videos, including two sex tapes, one made at the Esperanza Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and one made in Santa Barbara, and a third tape .

Only one tape - video shot in Cabo - was ever released, and the father of two said of Dailymail that all intimate tapes were kept at Kim's house in a shoe box under her bed.
"I mean this is all a lie. "Since we first released this sex tape, this has been the biggest lie in the history of the entertainment industry."
"They're not letting the world know that there are a bunch of sex tapes that we made, but they're not going anywhere because she has them all."
"I have never had them to see and taste," he adds.

"I asked on social media, how do I explain to my daughter that this is a lie. If you are worried about your family, what about mine?" he continues.
"If they hadn't come back and shown what they really were like, how greedy and dirty they really were, I would never have had the enthusiasm or the will to come out and tell my truth."

"I just want my daughter and my son to appreciate what I've done and know that their father doesn't exploit women, disrespect women, and take pictures of someone who hasn't given permission."
"I will not allow them to do this to me", the American singer concludes the conversation. /Telegraph/
