So a story has been posted all over the web today – even on credible sites – that Ray J’s manager told some publication named Heat Magazine that they’re considering legal action against Kanye West for Ray’s portrayal in the “Famous” video. My issue here is one – why would they speak to some random site about that, and two – why is the article nowhere to be found on the link that every site keeps linking to? (Which is this link.)

Ray hasn’t commented on the article via Twitter and his Instagram is private right now, so I can’t confirm or deny the validity. Either way, various websites quote his manager, David Weintraub, as telling Heat:

“We’re talking about potentially doing something. Because there’s too many times Kanye has done this, and you can’t really continue to use people’s likeness without either compensation or clearance.

It seems to be becoming an issue – this is like the fourth time in six months he’s done this.

We haven’t really worked anything out. There were kind of discussions but it’s getting old, so our legal team is working out what we want to do with everything.”

Let’s see if this grows legs or not…
