Ray J has been fairly vocal about Diddy's legal battle lately, even recently revealing that he believes he'll be found not guilty.

It goes without saying that Diddy has a lot on his plate at the moment. Last September, the Bad Boy founder was arrested and hit with charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He's been behind bars ever since, and last month, his long awaited trial finally began.

Various individuals from his past have taken the stand so far. This includes Cassie, Dawn Richard, Kid Cudi, multiple former assistants, and more.

One person who continues to have Diddy's back, despite the damning allegations that have been made against the mogul over the past year or so, is Ray J. During a recent appearance on TMZ's weekly Tubi series "TMZ Presents: United States V. Sean Combs: Inside the Diddy Trial," for example, he explained how he doesn't believe his longtime friend is guilty of racketeering.

In fact, he even said he'd find it more believable if he were told the Kardashians are facing racketeering charges. 

Diddy Trial

This is far from all Ray J has had to say about Diddy's case, however. Recently, he also appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, and revealed that he thinks he'll be found not guilty.

“I personally think it’s gonna happen faster than a lot of people think, because I think we’re all starting to see what this is, even if you’re on the other side of it,” he explained at the time. "I mean, the justice system is the justice system. Where does this fit?… It’s off. I don’t like it and I want to be vocal about it.”

“I honestly think that Diddy will get out, and I think … there’s nothing here,” Ray J continued, “I think they made their point. Whatever they were trying to make, your point is made. Now let Diddy out. Free Diddy!”

The trial is scheduled to continue this week, and is expected to go on for roughly eight to ten weeks total.
