American Express has filed a lawsuit against Ray J and his company, Tronix Network for $139,849.85 for an unpaid bill

R&B singer Ray J had an eventful Thanksgiving when he was arrested on a charge of making a criminal threat, but he was hit with a lawsuit a week before that when American Express sued him for almost $140,000.

According to US Weekly, the finance company filed paperwork stating that the entrepreneur and his company, Tronix Network, breached a contract by owing American Express $139,849.85. They filed the lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Nov. 19.

The credit card company accused the “I Hit it First” recording artist of failing to make payments on his American Express account since May.

The Tronix Network is a new streaming platform launched by Ray J in 2024, after he said he sold his shares in Raycom Global to fund it.

Ray J has been steadily making headlines lately, aside from his arrest on Nov. 27. He publicly chastised Beyonce and JAY-Z after they came to his sister, Brandy’s, joint tour with Monica, according to Billboard.

The couple apparently has gone to multiple shows on “The Boy is Mine Tour,” and based on what Ray J stated, they never come to say “what’s up to Brandy.”

“N**gas need to pull up when they come to the show. Come say what’s up to Brandy too, Jay-Z and Beyoncé,” Ray J said after telling his audience on social media that as he started to talk about the powerful couple, multiple people left the room so they wouldn’t be seen in the video. “We big fans, we got our family there and we know y’all there and we love y’all and we look up to y’all.”

He did make sure to say that these are his words, not Brandy’s. But, he states that he doesn’t “like” that the Carters don’t go check for his sister when they do show up.

“For y’all to come to every one of Brandy and Monica’s shows and never say what’s up to B and take all the pictures, I don’t like it.”
