Ray J says celebs are offering hush money to Diddy victims

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ collaborator Ray J claims that celebrities have told him they’re offering hush money to victims of the embattled mogul, who is awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The 43-year-old “Sexy Can I” singer made the claims in “The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs,” TMZ’s third TUBI documentary about the legal woes of Combs, who is currently locked up at Brooklyn MDC.
“I’m hearing about artists paying victims to keep their name out of it,” Ray J told TMZ founder Harvey Levin.
Ray J, who claims he never attended any of Combs’ “freak offs,” was initially vague when asked whether he knew people who’d been paid off.
“Here’s what I do know. People do catch-and-kills all day,” he said. “Somebody has the truth, somebody pays you to keep it quiet, and hopefully that money that you got paid secures your happiness while you watch the lie continue to succeed. … Here’s the other way around that, Harvey. ‘I’ll give you money, please don’t talk.’ Is that the same thing?”
Ray J then alleged that he’s receiving calls from people who “want to tell me about certain things that happened with them and Diddy.”
Levin asked whether those calls are coming from “high-profile people” who fear Ray J would be “the vessel” for disclosing their ties to the Bad Boy Records founder.
“Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. And I don’t even know why I just said it, but I said it, so so what? Now they gotta be mad. Come get me, f–k it,” said Ray J, though he wouldn’t confirm whether those individuals disclosed what exactly they did with Combs. “I don’t wanna say. I think I said too much.”
Late last month, Chris Brown reportedly broke up a burgeoning brawl between Diddy’s adult sons and Ray J over remarks made about Combs following his September arrest.
