Ray J Says He Never Saw Any Crimes Take Place At Diddy's Parties
Ray J is coming clean about Diddy‘s notorious parties, but he says there’s nothing to see in terms of criminal behavior.
The singer was interviewed by Chris Cuomo on NewsNation’s “CUOMO” — and he gave a window into his decades long relationship with Diddy, zeroing in on what the feds say were illicit soirees.

Ray J told Cuomo he and other entertainers frequently attended Diddy’s gatherings, yet he never saw any sex trafficking or other serious crimes as detailed in the federal indictment against the music mogul.
Ray J put it this way, “We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are finding out, like, I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about and I never knew they existed.”
He also said he admired and respected Diddy back in the day, while he was trying to make it in the industry.
And while Ray J admits Diddy’s situation is unfortunate, he says the next generation of entertainers should learn from the Bad Boy Records CEO’s mistakes and show more integrity/transparency.

Are we spending too much on other people’s weddings?
Going to a friend’s weddings can be so fun and meaningful… but it can also really hurt your wallet. A survey by LendingTree found that 31% of people who had been to a wedding in the past five years had accrued debt to attend. So what’s driving up the cost of weddings for guests? And what makes it so hard to say no to these expenses?
Brittany breaks it down with Allyson Rees, senior analyst at trend forecasting firm WGSN, and Annie Joy Williams, assistant editor at The Atlantic.
