Frightened celebrities are paying Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged victims to stay quiet, according to R&B singer Ray J, who suggested high-profile stars fear that their names will get leaked to the public.
“I’m hearing about artists paying victims to keep their names out of it,” Ray J told TMZ founder Harvey Levin in the first episode of the outlet’s documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs, released on Tuesday.

“Here’s what I do know, people do catch-and-kills all day,” Ray J continued, explaining that a “catch-and-kill” refers to when “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.”
After being asked if he knows of instances in which alleged victims are going to celebrities saying, “Give me money and I won’t talk,” Ray J responded by implying that it is “the other way around,” suggesting the stars are actually the ones going to the alleged victims saying, “I’ll give you money, please don’t talk.”
Levin then asked the singer to clarify whether he knows of celebrities who are reaching out to alleged victims “who might sue them,” saying, “I want to cut you off at the pass, give you some money, lets just squash this,” to which Ray J replied, “That’s what a settlement’s called right?”
“But it really was: ‘Don’t say what you know. Here’s some money to be quiet.’ And I’m saying that,” Ray J added.
Levin chimed in, asking Ray J whether he knows if what he “just described” is “going on now,” to which the singer responded, “Yes.”
Ray J, who has a friendship with Combs, went on to reveal that high-profile people have been contacting him to discuss their interactions with the disgraced music mogul, likely due to fear of their names possibly getting leaked.
“They want to talk to me about what happened to them. They call me. They feel like they can trust me,” Ray J explained. “They want to tell me about certain things that happened with them and Diddy.”
The TMZ founder asked if these unnamed celebrities are calling him “because they’ve had some affiliation with Diddy that they don’t want to come out and they think you might be the vessel for it coming out? Is that what you’re saying?”
“Yes,” Ray J answered. “That’s exactly what I’m saying, and I don’t even know why I just said it, but I said it. So, so what? Now they got to be mad. Come get me. Fuck it.”
Levin then asked if these celebrities “were specific about what they did with Diddy,” to which the singer replied, “I don’t want to say. I think I said too much.”
“Diddy has befriended some of the biggest names in entertainment for decades, yet none of those stars have come out to defend him. Not one. That may say less about Diddy and more about Hollywood,” Levin noted in TMZ’s other documentary, The Downfall of Diddy, released earlier this year.
