‘He’s Ray’s Twin’: Fans Debate Whether Ray J and Princess Love’s Son Epik Looks More Like Mom or Dad

It seems like Princess Love and Ray J fans are having a debate about the couple’s son, Epik Ray Norwood, and which parent he favors more. 

The “One Wish” singer shared an adorable photo of himself with his mini-me seemingly inside a store wearing matching Amiri Men’s “MA” baseball caps.

In the picture, the 3-year-old held onto his father’s hand while Ray J pointed at the camera, apparently directing his son’s focus.

“Hey .. I know I need some lotion on my hand lol,” the 42-year-old wrote, “BUT LOOK how big my son EPIK is getting!!!”

Ray J continued, “He looks so good!!! I love his lil face!!!!! – had to show you #prouddad #AMIRI #LasVegas”

His photo received likes from more than 61,000 fans, along with over 800 comments. While many mentioned how adorable the toddler appears, a debate sparked in his comment section pertaining to whose genes won between his and Love’s.  

“He is his mother’s twin him sooo handsome”

“Princess whole face”

“Wow I never notice how much he’s Ray’s twin”

“He’s a perfect mix of you & mom”

Ray J and Love welcomed their son back on Dec. 30, 2019. 

Although he is still a baby, Epik seems to be full of personality already. In 2022, he had fans in tears after demanding that his mother stop recording him. 

During the video, Love can be heard behind the camera as she asks her son for a photo. 

“Come here,” she said. 

However, Epik was not in the mood for a picture and let those feelings be known. 

“Stop it,” he said as he faced his mother while putting out a halting hand. 

“Let me take a picture of you,” Love ordered, but Epik continued to ignore his mother’s wishes as he walked down a long hallway and into a room. 

In addition to Epik, Love, and Ray J also share a 4-year-old daughter, Melody Love Norwood, whom they had in 2018.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
