Ray J reversed course on Diddy’s authorized destiny throughout a livestream, calling the fees “weak” months after demanding public punishment on a podcast.

Ray J pivoted sharply on his stance towards Sean “Diddy” Combs, telling viewers throughout a livestream with YouTuber Sneako that he believes the embattled Hip-Hop mogul might stroll away from his federal case regardless of going through severe intercourse trafficking and racketeering prices.

“Puffy ’bout to get out too, on the useless homies” Ray J stated in the course of the stream. “All that s### they’re attempting to cost that n#### for is nonsense, bro. He did one thing unhealthy that all of us seen and that s###’s unacceptable, however that’s not what the fees are for. The fees are weak, and it’s not humorous and it’s not okay.”

The remarks mark a dramatic reversal from Ray J’s earlier feedback on Shannon Sharpe’s “Membership Shay Shay” podcast in January 2024, the place he referred to as for Diddy to be publicly punished.

“The homie want a public whipping… 100 lashes… 1,000 lashes. That will assist. 1,000 lashes from everyone that you simply’ve slained and harm. 1,000 lashes publicly,” Ray J stated on the time. “1,000, that might assist. 1,000 lashes made by you, any individual your dimension that’s gon’ give it to him. Not my dimension. My arm hurts. Your dimension, n#### ain’t gon make it previous 9.”

Ray J’s shift in tone comes as Diddy stays behind bars in New York, the place he’s been held with out bail since September 2024. His federal trial is scheduled to start Could 5, 2025, after a choose denied his request for a delay.

Diddy, 54, is going through 5 felony prices, together with racketeering conspiracy, two counts of intercourse trafficking by power, fraud or coercion, and two counts of transporting people for prostitution. Prosecutors allege the crimes occurred over a 20-year span and concerned coercing ladies—generally with medicine or threats—into sexual acts, a few of which had been filmed and concerned male intercourse employees.

He has pleaded not responsible and denies all allegations.

In the meantime, Shannon Sharpe—as soon as imagined by Ray J as the person to ship public justice—now faces his personal authorized troubles.

The previous NFL star and media persona is being sued for $50 million in a civil case involving rape accusations, making him an unlikely candidate for any ethical excessive floor within the Diddy saga.

The choose presiding over Diddy’s case has dominated that the majority unrelated sexual assault claims will likely be excluded from trial, and most alleged victims will likely be allowed to testify below pseudonyms.
