Ray J has claimed he knows of multiple celebrities who are so scared of their ties to Sean “Diddy” Combs that they’ve been offering accusers cash to stay quiet as part of a “catch and kill” scheme.
The R&B singer, who is friends with the fallen music mogul, told a new TMZ documentary that high-profile names have been reaching out to him after allegations started swirling that celebrities could have been part of Combs’ so-called “Freak-Off” sex parties.
“I’m hearing about artists paying victims to keep their names out of it,” the 43-year-old alleged in “TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs.”
“Here’s what I do know, people do catch and kills all day… for the regular world, somebody has a truth, somebody pays you to keep it quiet and hopefully that money you got paid secures your happiness while you watch the lie continue to succeed.”
Asked if he knew of instances where women were coming to celebs with an ultimatum, Ray J suggested it was the unnamed stars actually going to alleged victims in a bid to cut them off first.
“Here’s the other way around that… ‘I’ll give you money, please don’t talk’,” he claimed of what the celebrities are allegedly doing.
Ray J, who once starred in a sex tape with Kim Kardashian, insinuated that the high-profile names are reaching out to him because of his friendship with Combs — and they fear he could be the reason their names potentially get leaked.
“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” Ray J said when asked he if believed others thought of him as a possible “vessel” for leaks.
“And I don’t even know why I just said it, but I said it, so what. Now they’re gonna be mad.”
The singer refused to divulge names, or what behaviors the celebrities allegedly engaged in, saying instead, “I’ve said too much.”
It comes after Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, was slapped with federal sex trafficking charges in September.
The federal indictment against him detailed troubling allegations that Combs manipulated alleged victims and plied them with drugs to participate in “Freak-Offs” — violent sex sessions that were sometimes recorded against participants’ will.
Some have since alleged they witnessed celebrities at the sex-fueled parties.
Since his arrest, a flurry of civil lawsuits have also been filed against the Bad Boy Records founder alleging abuse dating back decades.
Combs’ lawyers have repeatedly derided the legal actions as “clear attempts to garner publicity.”
Combs, who is set to face trial next May, is being held without bail in federal custody in Brooklyn.
His lawyers didn’t immediately respond to The Post regarding Ray J’s claims.
