It's not secret that R&B star Brandy grew up admiring legendary singer, Whitney Houston, who died this year of a drug overdose. However, her brother, Ray-J, admired Houston for a different reason. He saw her as a meal ticket to greater fame and publicity.

The callous cad, previously sold a private sex tape of reality star, Kim Kardashian for a million dollars, reportedly without her consent. Ray-J's music career didn't go very well and he wanted the spotlight anyway he could get it. After the sex tape disgracefully made Kardashian a star, Ray-J still struggled to get noticed.

Enter Whitney Houston. Ray-J saw her as a way to become a superstar. He began dating and having sex with her. Ray-J would ham it up for the cameras when he was out with Houston, trying to get him name out there as  much as possible. However, her family did not like him, rightfully believing Ray-J was using her. Ray-J still seeks to cash in on their relationship, but is waiting for the right time. He wasn't a real friend to her.
