The event, which took place in Las Vegas, featured Ray J facing internet personality Supah Hot Fire in an MMA bout.

Why Ray J's comments after the fight started the controversy
After losing his fight against Supah Hot Fire at Brand Risk Promotions Event 14, Ray J spoke during an interview with streamer Benius “BenDaDonn.” During the conversation, he appeared frustrated and repeatedly hinted that there had been some kind of “plan” connected to the fight.
He also mentioned losing money and said he did not want to say too much because he did not want to “get nobody in trouble.” Those comments instantly caught attention online because many viewers interpreted them as him suggesting the fight may not have gone naturally.
The clips quickly spread across X and streaming communities, with fans debating whether Ray J was being serious, emotional after losing, or trying to imply something bigger happened backstage.
Brand Risk Promotions says it is investigating the situation internally
Not long after the clips started trending, Brand Risk Promotions released a public statement on X saying the company had already started an internal investigation. According to the statement, the investigation is being led by an attorney who previously worked as a federal prosecutor.
The organization said it takes fight integrity seriously and wants to determine whether anyone attempted to manipulate the result of the bout. It also added that both fixing a fight and attempting to do so would be considered serious violations.
The statement did not directly name Ray J, but many online connected it to his viral comments from after the event.
