Fiction mixed with reality when Ray Norwood Jr., aka Ray J, was casted to portray Moesha's half-brother, Dorian Long, in "Moesha." Similar to his older sister, Brandy Norwood, Ray J successfully juggled two careers simultaneously. In addition to finding work in sitcoms like "One on One" and "The Rickey Smiley Show," Ray J found success as an R&B artist. Since his departure, he released six full-length studio albums, some of which contained smash hits such as "One Wish" and "Sexy Can I."

Like his fictional counterpart, Ray J has been known to get himself into a long string of controversies. From his infamous "entanglement" with Kim Kardashian to his messy shift into reality television, Ray J never strayed too far away from the limelight. This, however, didn't stop him from transitioning into a doting father of two and a well-known entrepreneur. In 2016, Ray J launched a tech company known as Raytroniks. This would later be rebranded into what is now known as Raycon Global, which shifted its focus to wireless earbuds. With the help of celebrities and online influencers, Ray J quickly found himself managing a multi-million dollar company. In a 2018 interview with Entrepreneur, Ray J knew this would be his claim to fame. "I always knew I was going to do something ... something in this business, you know," he stated. "And I'm still on the grind, still trying to come up. So, who knows what the future holds."
