Ray J Claims Celebrities Are Buying Silence in Diddy Sex Trafficking Case
Ray J has revealed that multiple high-profile celebrities are allegedly paying accusers to keep their names out of connection with Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing legal troubles. The revelation came during his appearance on "TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs."

According to Ray J, celebrities are initiating these "catch-and-kill" arrangements, reaching out to potential accusers before they can come forward. He explains that these celebrities are contacting him due to his known association with Combs, fearing he might expose their involvement.
"I'm hearing about artists paying victims to keep their names out of it," Ray J stated, though he declined to name specific individuals when pressed for details. He described the practice as commonplace, where "somebody has a truth, somebody pays you to keep it quiet."
This development comes as Combs faces federal sex trafficking charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty. He remains in federal custody in Brooklyn awaiting trial next May, while facing multiple civil lawsuits.
