In a recent episode of Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood, the rapper was seen wearing a black knit cap during a scene with Safaree Samuels. The serious conversation should have kept viewers on their toes. However, in the short scene, Ray J's hat stole the show — literally! 

During each cutaway to Ray J, his black hat was positioned differently on his head, and we never see him reaching for his cap. So, who was moving this "ghost" hat? The cap looked as though it had a mind of its own... and of course, the internet could not resist giving their own two cents.

Ray J can't believe his moving hat caused such a stir on the internet. 

In a conversation with TMZ, Ray J opened up about the mysterious placements of his hat. His answer: "It has a mind of its own." The rapper then continues to explain that the conversation with Safaree was originally over an hour long and the clip shown was less than one minute. He told the outlet that he was stressing during the heated conversation ... and so was his hat.

Not only does his hat have a "mind of its own," it also now has its own Instagram page. In true viral fashion, there is now a page dedicated to his black beanie. With only 73 followers currently, we predict this number to grow. 

And move over Drake, because your "In My Feelings" Challenge is dying down and Ray J's hat is here to take over. Not only does the viral beanie have its own social media page, it also started a challenge, accurately dubbed #RayJHatChallenge. Fans everywhere are uploading videos of themselves having conversations, and their hats are stealing the show.
