Diddy ‘Not Guilty’ Verdict: Ray J Anticipates Upcoming Release

Ray J made a notable return to “TMZ Live” on Wednesday, emphatically reiterating his unwavering support for Team Diddy. He is not only a devoted ally but is also vigorously challenging the two federal counts for which Puff has faced conviction.

From Ray J’s perspective, the situation surrounding Diddy involves consensual encounters, which he firmly believes should not warrant any form of incarceration. He argues that the nature of these interactions was mutual and consensual, emphasizing that the punishment should not overshadow the context of the events that transpired.

Prosecutors are currently asserting that Diddy poses a significant threat as an ultraviolent individual to society. However, Ray J remains optimistic, predicting that his friend will be released from custody by the end of the business day. He envisions Diddy chartering a plane to Miami to unwind and celebrate the Fourth of July weekend. It was reported later in the day that the judge denied bail, which means Diddy will remain incarcerated until his sentencing hearing, now set for October.

Ray expressed to Harvey and Charles that this trial serves as a crucial learning experience; however, he believes it won’t deter individuals from engaging in drug-fueled encounters with sex workers. In fact, he thinks this situation may encourage more allegations against influential figures when they feel wronged, indicating a troubling trend in how power dynamics are navigated.

His views closely align with those of Boosie Badazz, who has publicly stated that the Diddy RICO case was merely a tactic aimed at targeting a wealthy Black man. These sentiments are difficult for the prosecution to refute, especially since they struggled to substantiate their primary arguments during the trial.

Ray foresees that Diddy will refrain from celebrating too exuberantly and suggests that he should let his sons take charge during this period. His children have consistently supported him throughout the trial, demonstrating unwavering loyalty and love, which Ray believes Diddy should acknowledge.
