TV personality Ray J says racketeering charge makes more sense for Kardashians than Diddy



Ray J is questioning the legitimacy of the racketeering conspiracy charge facing music mogul Sean Diddy Combs in his ongoing federal criminal trial.  Speaking on TMZs new weekly Tubi series, TMZ Presents: United States V. Sean Combs: Inside the Diddy Trial, the singer and television personality expressed disbelief over the RICO allegations, claiming that such charges would make more sense if they were leveled against the Kardashians. Ray J, a longtime friend of Diddy, defended him during the episode, insisting that his own experiences around the music executive and several of the witnesses testifying in court have not convinced him that Diddy engaged in organized criminal activity. Ive been around Diddy and many of those people talking, and I just dont see how this fits a RICO case, he said. He went on to suggest that the charges may be part of a broader effort to send a message to the embattled music mogul. Somebodys definitely sending a message here, Ray J speculated. And the message is being received loud and clear. The episode also featured criminal defense attorney Joe Tacopina, who clashed with legal analyst Nancy Grace in a heated exchange over the nature of the racketeering elements in the case. The discussion quickly turned personal, with both legal commentators trading jabs as they debated the strength of the prosecutions arguments. Adding to the complexity of the case is the testimony of Capricorn Clark, Diddys former assistant, which legal experts believe may help prosecutors bolster their RICO claim. The panel, including Harvey Levin, Mark Geragos, Ashleigh Banfield, and Eboni K. Williams, delved into how Clarks account could be instrumental in connecting various allegations into a coherent conspiracy under the federal RICO statute. The trial continues to generate intense media coverage, with the high-profile charges against Diddy drawing scrutiny not only for their legal weight but also for the broader implications in the entertainment industry.
