Ray J Caps About Hooking Up With Sexyy Red, Gets Called Out

Source: Christopher Polk / Getty Ray J caused a lot of drama online after claiming he slept with rapper Sexyy Red. In a video, he said, 'I slept with Sexyy Red, stop playing with me,' making it sound like something happened between them. People started talking fast, but it turns out, it wasn't true. Later, Ray J went on his own show and took it back. Brandy's brother said he was sorry and explained that he and Sexyy Red were just sitting next to each other on a plane. They both were tired, maybe fell asleep during the flight, but nothing else happened. Sexyy Red wasn't having it. She clapped back on social media, saying, 'N*ggas lie on they d*ck everyday b.' She made it super clear that nothing went down and called Ray J a 'cornball' for lying. She even posted screenshots of their DMs where Ray apologized to her for making it up. Then, out of nowhere, Justin Bieber popped in with a comment like, 'Y'all wild for this' not really picking a side but clearly watching the mess unfold like everyone else. In the end, Ray J got caught lying, Sexyy Red shut it down quick, and Bieber was just vibing with the popcorn. Moral of the story: Don't lie for clout, especially on Big Sexyy. It will come back to bite you. SEE ALSO Ray J Caps About Hooking Up With Sexyy Red, Gets Called Out was originally published on Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE

Ray J Says Racketeering Charge Makes More Sense For Kardashians Than Diddy

Ray J is railing against the racketeering conspiracy charge Diddy is facing in his federal criminal trial ... he says a RICO charge against the Kardashians would be more believable. Diddy's longtime friend came to his defense on TMZ's new weekly series on Tubi, "TMZ Presents: United States V. Sean Combs: Inside the Diddy Trial" ... and Ray says he's having a hard time believing Diddy is guilty of racketeering. Ray J says he spent a lot of time around Diddy and a lot of the witnesses who are testifying ... and based on his experience, he doesn't see how the RICO charge is warranted. It's interesting, and conspiracy theorists will like this ... Ray J has a theory that someone is sending a message to Diddy here ... and he says the statement is being received loud and clear. Joe Tacopina also joined us on this week's episode, and he got into a heated debate with series regular Nancy Grace ... with the two sparring over the trial's racketeering elements, and throwing some personal jabs. Former Diddy assistant Capricorn Clark's testimony may help prosecutors close the loop on the RICO charge ... and Ray, Joe, Nancy, Harvey Levin, Mark Geragos, Ashleigh Banfield and Eboni K. Williams get into all that and more. Check out "TMZ Presents United States V. Sean Combs: Inside the Diddy Trial," available now for free on Tubi.

Ray J Speaks Out on Diddy's Ongoing Trial, Predicts He Will Get Out of Jail: ‘Free Diddy'

is ready to talk about for the first time since the rap mogul's trial began. In an interview with Piers Morgan, Ray J, 44, expressed his belief that his longtime friend will soon be able to walk out of jail as a free man. (Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all of the allegations against him.) 'I personally think it's gonna happen faster than a lot of people think, because I think we're all starting to see what this is, even if you're on the other side of it,' Ray J shared on the Tuesday, May 27, episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored. 'I mean, the justice system is the justice system. Where does this fit?... It's off. I don't like it and I want to be vocal about it.' In the first two weeks of Diddy's trial, the jury heard testimony from Cassie Ventura, Kid Cudi, Danity Kain's Dawn Richard and more witnesses as prosecutors presented their case against the rap mogul. (Some of the biggest revelations from their testimonies included new details of the video of Diddy physically assaulting Cassie, allegations that Diddy planned to harm Cudi and claims that Diddy and escorts would urinate in Cassie's mouth.) Cassie's Life Now After Alleged Diddy Abuse and Emotional Sex Trafficking Trial Testimony Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. When asked about the court proceedings, Ray J expressed his belief that Diddy should be free from jail. 'I honestly think that Diddy will get out, and I think … there's nothing here,' he claimed. 'I think they made their point. Whatever they were trying to make, your point is made. Now let Diddy out. Free Diddy!' As Diddy's trial entered its third week on Tuesday, May 27, multiple attorneys not affiliated with the case told NBC News that prosecutors have yet to prove that the music mogul is guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, the two most serious charges brought against him. One lawyer, however, reminded courtroom watchers that it's a very long trial and all of the evidence doesn't come in through one witness. When asked about the ongoing trial — taking place at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City — Ray J said, 'It's kind of becoming a circus.' 'With all the allegations and now with everybody explaining what's happening in the bedroom, I mean, every day,' he said. 'It just sounds crazier and crazier and freakier and weirder, right?' One allegation that has been explored in the initial weeks of testimony are Diddy's alleged 'freak offs.' Prosecutors have described freak offs as 'elaborate and produced sex performances' that Diddy allegedly orchestrated and coerced others to participate in. According to Ray J, who said he attended 'a lot of parties with Diddy,' there was never a 'freak off.' 'We've never used that term whenever we went to a Diddy party,' he told Morgan, 60. 'A Diddy party was where most people couldn't get in. And the top of the top, the A-listers are out on the scene, and if you don't have the proper invitation, or if you're not one of the 'Who's who's of Hollywood', it's impossible to get in whatever door they're talking about the freaky door. I never got an invitation. Never knew it existed. And I feel like in my world that I'm in, and I like to party and have fun, at least I would have got an invitation.' Cassie Recalls Diddy Hotel Assault in Day 2 of Her Testimony: Biggest Takeaways Ray J said he last spoke to Diddy a week and a half before 'it all went down,' seemingly referring to the rapper's arrest. Although the trial is expected to last until late June or the beginning of July, Ray J said all the stories being presented make him think 'it's the world against Diddy.' 'I feel for him, you know what I mean? And I'm actually worried about him in this state now, because it's a dangerous world, and we're just seeing a lot of things unfold and power being played, and it's a circus act,' Ray J claimed. 'How many more stories do we got to hear? I mean, this is some really freaky stuff that I think should be kept private, and it's just starting to get freakier and dirtier.'

Ray J Predicts Diddy Will Get Out for Prison for This Wild Reason ... But Does He Have a Point?

Adding to the list of celebrities defending Sean 'Diddy' Combs amid his federal trial, Ray J had some thoughts about how the justice system is handling Diddy's drama. And man, was it a lot.... Ray J—real name William Ray Norwood Jr.— appeared on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' to talk about why he believes the case against Diddy is starting to get outrageous. The disgraced music mogul is fighting for his life against racketeering and human trafficking charges, but according to Ray J, we're starting to lose the plot. 'I think it's kind of becoming a circus, and with all the allegations, and now with everybody explaining what's happening in the bedroom... It just sounds crazier and crazier and freakier and weirder,' Ray Jbegan. The singer even set his sights on Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassandra 'Cassie' Ventura, who alleged Diddy blew up rapper Kid Cudi's car as a scare tactic. 'With Kid Cudi going on and saying everything that happened, but then ended up saying, 'Cassie played both of us'... Where are we trying to go?' According to Ray J, there's not enough evidence to find Diddy guilty of his current charges. 'It's entertaining, for sure... but at the end of it all, it's like, 'This is what Diddy is being charged for, and this is what he possibly might serve a lot of jail time for?' I don't understand it,' he continued. To him, Diddy's case has become about optics and not the real evidence to support to government's racketeering case against him. The public was horrified to hear how Combs allegedly raped and repeatedly beat Cassie and how he alleged conspired to kill Kid Cudi— including by kidnapping his own assistant— but Ray J and other Combs' supporters argue that still doesn't connect him to a criminal enterprise. And in order for Combs to be found guilty, that's exactly what prosecutors need to prove. Although Ray J has not been named in connection with Diddy's criminal case, he maintains that the two businessmen have a close relationship. In fact, Ray J told Morgan he sees the Bad Boy founder as a mentor. 'This is word to my mom and kids, he's always inspired me to be great,' Ray J told Morgan. In the end, Ray J said he has faith that Diddy will walk away with his freedom. 'I honestly think that Diddy will get out... I think they made their point. Whatever they were trying to make, your point is made,' he continued. 'Now let Diddy out. Free Diddy!' Ray J is the latest entertainer to speak out in favor of the 'Coming Home' rapper. He joins folks like Kanye West, Amber Rose and Boosie Badazz— all of whom have had their own share of controversies over the years. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
