R. Kelly Defends Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Claims the FEDS Set Diddy Up!
R. Kelly has come to the defense of Sean “Diddy” Combs, claiming in a recent statement that the federal authorities have set Diddy up in an elaborate conspiracy tied to his legal troubles.
Sean “Diddy” Combs legal battles continue to escalate, with unexpected support from a controversial figure — disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly.
After Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ recent arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, R. Kelly, who is currently serving a 30-year sentence for similar crimes, has spoken out, alleging that the case against Diddy is part of a “federal conspiracy.”
R. Kelly’s Claims of a Federal Setup
According to an interview that resurfaced after Diddy’s arrest, R. Kelly expressed doubts about the charges, dismissing them as part of a broader plot against high-profile figures like Diddy. “I don’t believe none of this s—,” R. Kelly said, defending Diddy and suggesting that the authorities are targeting celebrities unjustly. He continued, “You could tell me about Puffy, you could tell me about anybody… I’m not gonna believe the s—.”
R. Kelly, who has been convicted of sex trafficking and child pornography, claims he understands the legal system’s alleged biases firsthand. “Cause I’m in it now, and I know what they did,” he stated, hinting that Diddy’s wealth and fame made him a target. R. Kelly went on to suggest that federal agents were angry about Diddy’s “flagrant” display of his wealth, leading to the investigation and subsequent charges.
Diddy’s Arrest and Legal Battle
Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on September 16 in New York City, facing a federal indictment that includes sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The indictment outlines allegations of orchestrating “Freak Off” parties, where women were allegedly coerced into sex acts, and Diddy’s involvement in filming and distributing controlled substances to ensure compliance. Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, as his legal team continues to fight the accusations.
Tanika Ray Speaks Out
In the wake of Diddy’s arrest, more people connected to the hip-hop mogul are sharing their experiences. Former dancer and entertainment reporter Tanika Ray also posted a video recounting her time working for Diddy, describing it as “horrific.” Ray mentioned that while she has chosen not to tell her story in full, she, like many women, has trauma from that time.
“We all have stories. Mine is horrific. I will probably never tell it. Maybe I’ll write a book one day,” Ray shared in the Instagram video. She alluded to her encounters with Diddy, stating that she kept her distance while dancing for him, even during interviews. “Nothing that is happening is surprising,” she added.
R. Kelly Warns Celebrities to Take the Federal Probe Seriously
While R. Kelly has downplayed the charges against Diddy as a conspiracy, he also urged the music mogul to take the legal proceedings seriously. “He should take this seriously,” Kelly stated, warning that celebrities are being “hunted” regardless of whether the accusations are true.
R. Kelly also addressed the ongoing media coverage of Diddy’s case. “Motherf—–s out there laughing and making comedian jokes,” Kelly ranted. “They so stupid they don’t even realize the moves that’s going on.”
Federal Investigation Continues
As the legal battle unfolds, both Diddy’s and R. Kelly cases highlight the complex intersection of wealth, fame, and criminal accusations in the entertainment industry. Diddy remains in custody, facing serious charges that could lead to a significant legal battle ahead, while R. Kelly’s vocal defense only adds another layer of intrigue to the high-profile case.
For now, Diddy’s fate remains uncertain as the federal investigation continues to develop, with both supporters and critics keeping a close watch on what happens next.
