Ray J Denies Pointing a Gun at Princess Love During Thanksgiving Incident

Ray J told TMZ his version of the events that brought police to his home over the holiday, while Princess Love has responded with her own account of what happened.

Ray J is sharing his side of the story on what happened during a tense Thanksgiving incident that ended with police at his home and a criminal threat charge. The singer told TMZ he felt “afraid” when Princess Love, her cousin, and her cousin’s husband showed up at his house during the holiday. What began as a family dispute quickly turned into an explosive moment that played out in real time on his livestream.

During the stream, Ray J could be seen arguing with the group as he insisted they were trying to take his children, Melody Love and Epik Ray. At one point, a gun briefly appeared on camera while he walked through the house, which sparked immediate concern from viewers and later became a major part of the story. Princess Love repeatedly told him, “You pointed a gun at us,” while he continued to deny it.

The “One Wish” singer later explained to TMZ that he did hold the gun, but he insisted he never aimed it at anyone. He said he didn’t feel comfortable with Love’s family members inside his home, and he described their behavior as “aggressive and belligerent.” The livestream captured him yelling at the group to leave and making heated threats as the situation escalated. He claims Love’s cousin’s husband tackled him before the camera angle shifted.

Police arrived shortly after, and 20 officers came into his home with guns drawn. He shared that the response terrified his children and added another layer of chaos to an already intense night. He was arrested and booked on a charge of making a criminal threat, then released on a $50,000 bail.

Ray J told TMZ he still loves Princess Love, even with everything that unfolded. Love later addressed the situation, saying he needs to take accountability and get help, and she called for him to seek rehab. The two have had a long, public history of breakups and reconciliations, and this latest incident has left fans wondering what comes next for the family.
