Los Angeles - Ray J is proud Kanye West referenced his sex tape with Kim Kardashian on a song.
The R&B star - who appeared in the raunchy film with the 32-year-old reality TV star in 2007, which kick-started her rise to fame - was happy when he learned Kanye referred to the intimate home movie in his song Clique because it reflects "real life".
In the track, Kanye - who is expecting his first child with Kim - raps: "My girl a superstar all from a home movie."
Ray J said: "A few people called me and I was like, 'That's what music is about, talking about real life.'"
Although his own latest single, I Hit It First, refers to a girl who "might move on to rappers and ballplayers", who "chose to go west" and with whom he wants to make "another movie", Ray J is adamant it isn't about Kim, despite the apparent references.
A Kim lookalike
He told Yahoo! Music: "When people first heard the lyrics or read the lyrics online they kinda took the song somewhere it wasn't supposed to go.
"It's life put into a music form from my perspective."
However, he is rumoured to have cast a Kim lookalike for the accompanying music video, which he says "pokes fun" at his life.
He added: "I'm not going to say it's a parody but it is us having fun, us kinda poking fun at my life and what we been through and just keeping everything fun."
And Ray - who also dated the late Whitney Houston - refused to admit whether Kim is the woman in the pixelated image that adorns the single cover, saying only: "I can't really say what the picture is because it will give it away."
