Ray J speaks up on the allegations against Diddy on a news show

Also known as William Ray Norwood Jr., the singer launched a show titled The Reality Check News on YouTube on October 8, 2024. In its premiere episode, Ray talked about Diddy's arrest and the charges imposed against him.

Ray J said that Sean was his friend and that it is not easy to believe anything until someone is proven guilty. He further spoke on the accusations:

"Do you forgive somebody for taking somebody's a*s? There's a lot of people out here taking from people. People are getting robbed of not only their money and their spirituality, they're getting robbed of their womanhood and manhood. A*ses are being taken in ways that nobody can explain."

Ray even addressed the details mentioned in the grand jury indictment, claiming that baby oil and lubricant were reportedly discovered during the raids conducted at Sean's house in March this year.

Ray added that he witnessed several jokes emerging out of the allegations:

"Everybody got a joke about having about baby oil or lube. Is that okay? Is that the message?"

He expressed his frustration towards popular personalities who have a lot of power in their possession and have been involved in "unsavory conduct" over the years. Ray stated that he would expose them soon, adding that he would later reveal the names.

Diddy is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His trial is scheduled for May 2, 2025.
