Ray J Speaks On Cardi B Hurting His Feelings, Fighting Orlando Brown, & Answers If He’s Really Dying. (Part 2)

**Paul Pierce** (0:03)
Do you intentionally say controversial things to entertain, or is that just you?

**Ray J** (0:11)
I don't know.
I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just keeping it real. Like, I don't know what's happening. It's so hard to know what's happening. It's never intentional, because again, what we're all saying, what we're all saying, I have some kind of truth, and I'm making some kind of sense.

**Azar Farideh** (0:32)
You are.

**Paul Pierce** (0:33)
Yeah, for sure.

**Ray J** (0:34)
It's just the way I'm wording it, I think, and the way I'm putting it, the way I'm putting it is crazy. But it's probably louder than other people on how they explain stuff, you know what I'm saying?

**Azar Farideh** (0:47)
It makes sense.

**Ray J** (0:48)
I don't do anything intentional.
I just don't give a fuck, you know? And you can smell it.

**Azar Farideh** (0:58)
The don't give a fuck?

**Ray J** (0:58)
Pause, yeah.

**Paul Pierce** (1:00)
I think you're controlled chaos. I think you're a genius.

**Ray J** (1:07)
Thank you, man. I appreciate that.

**Paul Pierce** (1:08)
I think you've been able to evolve every decade.

**Ray J** (1:13)
Thank you, bro. Means a lot.

**Azar Farideh** (1:16)
And find a way to be like super. People are always talking about you.

**Paul Pierce** (1:19)
No, I really think that about you. You've evolved in this industry more so than a lot of people can.

**Ray J** (1:27)
Thanks, man. And you know, I took a lot of L's, man, and I've taken so many to where they all became lessons. And there's still lessons moving forward.
Does it bother me? Not at all. Um, do I want to make my family proud? Yes. Do I want to make the people around me proud? Yes. Do I want them to feel comfortable when I go outside? Yes. You know, um, and I don't know if I've, I've, I've done that yet, you know what I mean? But I think over time, um, people can understand that, you know, it's not a, it's not an act. I'm just, I'm just being free.
And a lot of people just can't be that, because a lot of people want to be perfect.

**Paul Pierce** (2:21)
That's real.

**Ray J** (2:22)
A lot of people want to be perfect. If I get out the car and I'm recording and I accidentally fall, I'ma post that video. I'm not going to tell them to shoot it again. Cause I got out the car and I failed. So if I get out the car again and I don't, and it's the perfect hop out the car, walk in, it shows you that the insecurity behind the perfect shot versus the real shot. You know, the real you versus the super cool crowd you. You know what I mean? And a lot of people want to be in this cool crowd. They want to be at the Jay-Z brunch. And they want to be at the fly place with the tier one party. And they want to get in. So they want to move a certain way. And then they want to ridicule the other people who absolutely don't give a fuck.
And, you know, for me, I would rather stay out of the cool crowd and just create another crowd and just not give a fuck, you know? And also make sure that the cool crowd knows that I don't give a fuck. And if I don't give a fuck and it's an issue, I'm still going to say something about you too because I wasn't invited anyway to the cool crowd party.
So I fuck off.

**Paul Pierce** (3:38)
Ray, you say like you don't give a fuck, but like you got a lot of people that care for you.

**Ray J** (3:44)
Thank you, man.

**Paul Pierce** (3:44)
You got kids.

**Ray J** (3:45)
And yeah, I care, I care, but I don't give a fuck.

**Paul Pierce** (3:49)
I understand that, but you understand that like the people who love you, care. You know?

**Ray J** (4:01)
I care, but I don't give a fuck.
Because it's all transparent, it's all real. I'm always going to do people right. I'm always going to respect people's time. I'm always going to be professional. I'm always going to be on point if we need to work. I'm always going to be honest with anybody. I'm always going to look out for my kids. I'm always going to make sure my baby mommas good. So with all of those things happening, why would I give a fuck? I'm doing my job because I care. I care about the most necessary things, and that matters more than anything. Once that's done and accomplished, why would I give a fuck? If I'm over prepared for the meeting, and I know when I go in there, whether I'm trying to scale a business or start it from scratch or invest in something or be a character or whatever, I know I'm going to execute my job on point, 100%.
