Ray J Releases New EP After Wife Claimed She Would Divorce Him

Ray J is turning his attention to music following a slew of tumultuous events involving his pregnant wife Princess. The singer-songwriter, 38, released his new EP Emerald City  on Friday. It features collaborations with his sister Brandy, 40, K. Michelle and hip-hop artists Knotch and Truth.

The EP comes just a few weeks after his wife accused him of leaving her and their 18-month-old daughter “stranded” in Las Vegas after BET’s Soul Train Awards on Nov. 17 and threatened to file for divorce. According to Entertainment Tonight, the drama began when Ray J posted a since-deleted family photo from the awards show on his Instagram last month. “Thank you @bet #soulTrainAwards @princesslove @melodylovenorwood,” he captioned the now removed post.

Princess speedily commented and called the rapper out for his alleged transgression in an exchange captured by Instagram account The Shade Room. “Left me and Melody stranded in Vegas and blocked me from calling.. now you wanna post family photos 😂 #ByeUgly,” Princess quipped. The Love & Hip Hop star, 35, is currently eight months pregnant with the couple’s second child.

Ray J denied Princess’ allegations that that he abandoned her and their baby girl in a video he shared on Instagram with the caption, “Love took a L this time. ” “This is for all the media outlets out there that’s putting out these stories about me,” he said in the clip. “Let me explain something to y’all because I don’t think y’all understand who I really am. I am my family.

I love my family. I’ve dedicated my life to my family. To insinuate that I would do anything to harm my daughter is just sad man,” he added, addressing Princess’s accusation. Panning the camera to show that he was still at the Skylofts at MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas, Ray J continued: “I just don’t understand how somebody could get stranded if we never left.

We’ve been right here People are going to get into arguments here and there that are small stuff that you can work out. ” He then addressed Princess’ decision to broadcast their dilemma on Instagram. “To take this to social media and create this crazy story about me leaving my baby in harm’s way is not cool. Our circle needs to be tight like that,” Ray J said, clenching his fist.
