During a recent interview, Ray J addressed the controversy and ongoing federal investigation into Combs, who has been accused of sexual misconduct and trafficking in several lawsuits. While many in the entertainment industry have stayed silent or distanced themselves, Ray J took a different approach.

“I think that’s unfair,” he said when asked about the backlash and public judgment surrounding Diddy. “We don’t know everything that’s going on, and I just think people need to stop acting like they know before all the facts come out.”

Ray J didn’t go into detail about the accusations but emphasized the importance of due process. “I’ve known Diddy for a long time,” he added. “All I’m saying is, let things play out the right way.”

The comments come as Diddy’s legal troubles continue to unfold. His homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided earlier this year as part of an ongoing federal investigation. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against him, some of which include allegations of sexual assault and trafficking. Diddy has denied all claims and has not been charged with a crime.
