Ray J just addressed an incident that allegedly involved himself, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sons, and Chris Brown outside a Halloween party over the weekend.
During a conversation with Wack 100, Ray J, 43, shared details of the confrontation with Diddy’s sons Quincy Brown, Christian, and Justin Combs. He described a tense moment at the party – which was hosted by Tara Electra – where he attempted to de-escalate the situation, saying, “I tried to talk some sense into what happened. Luckily, the homie Chris was there.”
Ray J requested Wack 100 to keep further details private, but reports from TMZ indicated that the rapper had left the party with friends, including Amber Rose and manager David Weintraub, when he was approached by Diddy’s sons, reportedly upset over some comments he made regarding their father’s recent accusations.
Sources stated to the outlet that tensions escalated as both groups confronted one another, with Christian and Justin expressing their desire to fight, chest bumping with the “Wait a Minute” singer. Observing the situation from his vehicle, Brown reportedly intervened to prevent any escalation, pulling Diddy’s sons away, with no injuries reported.
Weintraub later expressed his frustration about the situation to TMZ, saying that the occasion was a “great party” that was spoiled by “little kids trying to fight a big boy.” According to the outlet, this isn’t the first time Ray J has been approached by the trio, and they have attempted to fight with him on three other occasions.
Meanwhile, Diddy is embroiled in serious legal issues as he faces federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. The hip-hop mogul has pleaded not guilty and is expected to testify in court next May. His troubles have escalated with over 120 individuals, including men, women, and minors, accusing him – with more surfacing every day.
Diddy’s legal team has vigorously denied these claims, as his attorney said in a statement, “Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”
