R&B singer and long time Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs friend and collaborator, Ray J (infamously behind the Kim Kardashian sex tape leak) has made headlines after appearing in a new documentary titled The Downfall of Diddy: Inside The Freak-Offs.
Produced by TMZ, the documentary chronicles the long list of allegations and claims made against the embattled rapper, including the federal indictment, and subsequent lawsuits.
While most of the claims covered in the documentary are public knowledge at this stage, there were a few new pieces of damning information that came to light during the interviews.
One such revelation was the surprising inclusion of Ray J, the R&B artist most famous for being Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend, and close friend of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
When being interrogated about whether he believed the huge amount of claims against Diddy were – as Combs’ legal team keep pushing – merely a money grab, Ray J had an unexpected response.
“It’s the other way around … [It’s], ‘I’ll give you money, please don’t talk”, says Ray J, before alleging that he knows of multiple celebrities who are going to great lengths to keep their involvement with Diddy’s infamous Freak-Off parties, out of the legal conversation.
“I’m hearing about artists paying victims to keep their names out of it,” he says. “Somebody has a truth, somebody pays you to keep it quiet, and hopefully the money you got paid secures your happiness while you watch the lie continue to succeed.”
While the singer appears hesitant to elaborate on his claims, he does go as far as to say “Now they’re gonna be mad,” without stating who ‘they’ could be. “I’ve said too much.”
It’s not the first time that celebrity involvement with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has come to the public’s attention.
Combs’ white parties, and “Freak-Offs” were common place through all through the naughties, with many famous faces regularly in attendance and frequently commenting on the events that transpired.
Since Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, details of evidence seized during federal raids have revealed the existence of hundreds of video tapes and recorded activity, that many speculate contain footage of well-known celebrities.
The idea of celebrity and high-profile knowledge and involvement in the claims levelled against Diddy were also alluded to by attorney Tony Buzbee, who claimed that “many powerful people will be exposed”, when referencing the pending lawsuits against Combs.
The rapper maintains his innocence, pleading ‘not guilty’ to all charges levelled against him as he remains at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn awaiting trail.
