Ray J has earned plenty of goodwill over the years despite antics here and there that would render most careers to fade if not flat out because obsolete. The singer and entrepreneur might need to retool his image with many after he made a visit with former President Donald Trump in Florida.
Page Six exclusively reports that Ray J, 41, traveled to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club on Tuesday (Jan. 25). According to the outlet, it was revealed by Ray J’s manager that the singer was there to talk about his plans to promote other business owners like himself in the business world and launch a series of initiatives that would assist with that effort.
“I’ve always admired and respected his business acumen,” Ray J told the outlet. “Our conversation was about job creation, encouraging small business development, and how Information Technology plays an important role in the future of our economy.
Ray J added, “We also agree how important an educated workforce is, as well as the critical need of developing of young people. I’m ready to get started now!”
Page Six adds that the pair intend to meet again to discuss these forthcoming plans at a later date
On Twitter, some bristled at the fact that Ray J joined with Trump, considered by many to be a beleaguered businessman at best. We’ve got the reactions below.

Ray J, did you ask Trump about why the #GOP is trying to suppress the #VotingRights of POC by maintaining the #BigLie?
As a person of color, the #VotingRightsAct might not mean a lot to you, but it means a lot to your many fans who support you and buy your products. #RayJ https://t.co/BsbwXFh8UZ— pinky188 (@PinkyVoteBlue) January 27, 2022

Ray J is wasting his time. Trump didn’t do anything for black folks when he was in office. Why would he even think about doing anything for us now when he is essentially a toothless lion? You played yourself. Go talk to the actual POTUS and stop offering yourself up as a photo op
