“The federal RICO I’m about to drop on Kris and Kim is about to be crazy,” Ray J said in the clip. “I’m talking about, I’m on the news every day. I’ma say a lot of s**t. Anybody that is cool with Kim, they need to tell her now, the feds is coming. There’s nothing I can do about it.\u00a0It’s worse than Diddy<\/a>.” That comment follows what he said earlier this year, where he expressed belief that the Kardashians could be charged for racketeering.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Kardashian’s lawyer Alex Spiro blasted the claim. He called them “false and defamatory,” also reminding Ray J that continuing to spread those claims could lead to a lawsuit under California’s state defamation laws. He reaffirmed that there is no ongoing federal investigation into the Kardashian family, citing Ray J’s history of false statements and stretches of truth.<\/p>\n

Ray J’s been successful in turning himself into a content creator. He made some appearances during Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 event, including a couple of viral moments. He tried to shower with Cenat<\/a> while a DJ played his song “One Wish” in the background. Later, Cenat kicked him out of the house for calling himself the “new Diddy.”<\/a> It’s been yet another new life for a man who’s worn many hats in nearly 25 years of stardom. <\/p>\n

Ray J has been very outspoken about just about everything for a long time. However, these newest claims could prove to be a problem for him in court, if things were to go that far. Alex Spiro is an accomplished lawyer, representing big names like Jay-Z<\/a>, Alec Baldwin, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.<\/a> He also helped 21 Savage secure U.S. citizenship in 2019. As vocal as Ray J is, a defamation case from a family with the resources the Kardashians possess is likely not something he wants to handle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“The federal RICO I’m about to drop on Kris and Kim is about to be crazy,” Ray J…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177619,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[90401,49,48,361,38396,75,5321,4207,341,44,90402],"class_list":["post-177618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-alex-spiro","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-defamation-lawsuit","tag-entertainment","tag-hip-hop-news","tag-kim-kardashian","tag-music","tag-news","tag-ray-j"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
