Controversial rapper Ray J lost the second round to a popular YouTuber Supa Hot Fire in the MMA celebrity boxing match.
The singer, 45, took on the promoter, 35, in the main MMA fight for the internet personality. Adin Ross‘ UFC Apex event in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 23.
At about the 2:50 mark in the second round, the two threw a flurry of missed punches while smiling. They danced around the ring and seemed to be talking to each other making it easier to fight. As the seconds ticked down, Ray J put Supa Hot Fire on the ropes before the YouTuber landed a single punch to the rapper’s face near the 2:35 mark, distracting Ray J until he fell through the ropes before hitting the canvas.
The referee quickly stepped in and called the match, marking a KO loss to Ray J, whose real name is William Ray Norwood Jr.
Undoubtedly a fiery exchange took place after the game, when Ray J – the brother of Brandy Norwood who was famous for having an affair Kim Kardashian – seems to have suggested that the celebrity battle was somewhat insidious.

“Say what you gotta say man,” the post-fight interviewer told Ray J.
“I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to get anyone in trouble, but alas … we took L tonight,” Ray J replied.
“We didn’t take a ***, your ass was here … you want me to show you what you did?” said the one who was talking before he walked to the place where Ray J fell. “Where were you? … he took one punch.”
Ray J then walked away from the interview, much to the insider’s dismay.
“Ray J, this is a professional man. You can’t just do what you want… you can talk backstage,” he told the rapper while talking to the microphone. “I will not be in the interview.”
When Ray J returned to the interviewer, the microphone picked up the rapper talking to the YouTuber, saying, “You know how much money we lost?”
“We didn’t think he was going to win – so how are you going to lose money? That’s a good way … if I got my ass out. Look at him … he’s got one of those cartoon lumps,” the interviewer interjected, commenting on the welt on Ray J’s forehead from the publisher’s punch and his takedown loss.
Ray J has been the subject of controversy, especially since the rapper has been saying he doesn’t have long to live due to unspecified health issues.
“Of course 2027 is mine,” he said in a video shared on social media on January 27. “That’s what they say.”
At that time, the singer added, “I shouldn’t have gone so hard, brother. My mother’s child will be straight, my children will be straight. If they want to take out all the money, they can use it. I did my thing here. And then, when it’s over, burn me, don’t bury me.”
One month ago, Ray J was arrested for allegedly threatening his estranged wife, Princess Love. At that time, TMZ reported that the rapper said he had “the worst Thanksgiving in the world” before he was seen pulling a gun on Princess Love during a live video.
