Ray J recently opened up about a tense encounter with Diddy’s sons — Justin, Christian, and Quincy Combs — during a conversation with Nicki Minaj on her Instagram Live. The altercation reportedly took place at a Halloween party on October 27 and stemmed from comments Ray J made on his web series, The Reality Check with Ray J, regarding recent allegations against Diddy.
Heated Exchange at the Halloween Party
When Nicki Minaj asked if Ray J had gotten into a fight, he clarified, “No, we didn’t have a fight. We had a big argument right outside the club.” Ray J noted that he became “loud and aggressive” as he felt it was time to stand up for himself after several previous incidents with the Combs brothers.
In a tense moment, Justin Combs reportedly challenged Ray J directly, stating, “Let’s take a fade. I don’t like what you’re talking about with my pops.” Ray J said that he tried to walk away and de-escalate the confrontation but felt frustrated about how things turned out, adding, “I feel sad that violence is at the forefront of this, and we shouldn’t do that.”
Ray J and the Combs Brothers Resolve Tensions
Following the incident, Ray J revealed that he and the Combs brothers later talked on the phone for 35 minutes, hashing things out to avoid further conflict. “What’s dope is that we all got on the phone and we talked for about 35 minutes,” Ray J shared, emphasizing the importance of keeping conflicts from escalating into physical altercations.
Ray J’s Decision to Cut Ties With Diddy
The incident highlights the ongoing tension between Ray J and Diddy. Ray J recently announced that he is severing ties with Diddy due to allegations of abuse and assault, including a resurfaced video from 2016 involving Diddy’s former girlfriend, Cassie. Speaking on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, Ray J said, “Everybody messes up, but we can’t be cool after that. It’s unforgivable, it’s too much.”
Ray J has been vocal about his disapproval of Diddy’s actions, even suggesting that Diddy should face a “public whipping” as punishment, proposing “100 lashes” as a form of accountability. He expressed that such actions have no place in the world they’ve worked to build.
Chris Brown Steps In to Defuse the Situation
According to TMZ, other celebrities, including Chris Brown, stepped in to prevent the argument from escalating. Brown and others were able to separate Ray J from Diddy’s sons, diffusing the situation before it turned physical.
This confrontation underscores the complex dynamics in the entertainment industry, especially when personal and professional boundaries blur. While Ray J and Diddy’s sons ultimately resolved the issue, the incident highlights how deeply family loyalty, public image, and respect intersect in the public lives of celebrities.
