About
Raymond Harper (September 5, 1996 – September 3, 2025), known professionally as Rolling Ray, was an American influencer and media personality. He first found popularity on Instagram and was known for his catchphrases “it’s giving” and “purrr”. He also found fame through his one-off appearances on the reality television series Catfish: Trolls (2018) and on the court show Divorce Court (2019). He hosted and executive produced the Zeus Network reality dating show Bobby I Love You, Purrr (2022).
A video of Rolling Ray negatively reviewing Popeyes’ chicken sandwich in 2019, in which he called it a waste of his money and said, “It’s not even giving what y’all said it was supposed to gave,” went viral online and coined the popular online phrase “it’s giving”. Rolling Ray also coined the term “purrr” in a 2020 YouTube video, a variation of the term “period” which saw widespread usage as slang to express approval, particularly on TikTok. By 2021, he had become popular through his Instagram account, @iamrollingray, where he had more than 445 thousand followers by 2025.
