Ray J defends Diddy amid allegations, addresses baby oil jokes in new show The Reality Check News

On October 8, 2024, Ray J opened up about his friendship with Sean "Diddy" Combs in his new show The Reality Check News, where he addressed the recent s*x trafficking charges against Diddy. While discussing the ongoing investigation, Ray J stood by his longtime friend, stating that Diddy is "innocent until proven guilty." The R&B singer expressed his disbelief, saying he had never witnessed any of the misconduct being alleged and was still processing the shocking accusations.

Ray J’s defense of Diddy came after the rapper’s arrest and the revelation that authorities found 1,000 bottles of baby oil during raids on his properties in March. The singer also responded to the wave of jokes about the discovery, particularly regarding baby oil and lube, questioning whether such comments were appropriate, given the gravity of the allegations.

As more details of the case unfold, Ray J predicted that Diddy’s arrest could trigger a domino effect within the entertainment industry, revealing a wider web of powerful figures involved in similar misconduct. He claimed there were other celebrities at the top who abused their positions of power, but he stopped short of naming names, hinting that the fallout from Diddy's case could lead to a major shake-up in the industry.

During a September interview, Ray J expanded on his concerns, speculating that Diddy’s arrest might expose other high-profile figures allegedly complicit in these crimes. He also stressed the need for a plan to reform the industry, emphasizing that preventing such incidents in the future should be a top priority.

Ray J’s comments echo those of Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who recently represented over 120 new accusers against Diddy. Buzbee claimed that some of Diddy’s A-list associates were also named in the allegations, with some reportedly seeking settlements to avoid public lawsuits.

Ray J maintained that while he had heard rumors, he had never been present at Diddy's alleged “freak off” parties. He expressed confusion and sadness over the accusations, noting that while nothing has been proven yet, the allegations have already had a painful impact on many people close to Diddy.

As Diddy remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting his next court date, the case continues to develop, potentially implicating more high-profile individuals.
