4/8 8 AM PT -- Jones is further clearing the air regarding his interaction with the drug tester ... saying he was NOT arrested over the incident.

"I must admit, it's disappointing to have to clarify these things again, but I understand that I may be an easy target given some of my past issues," Jones said. "It's important to set the record straight and make sure the truth is told."

Jones reiterated he was upset when the tester showed up to his home ... and he was "caught off guard" as he was taking a nap at the time. Jones admitted to using profanity after growing frustrated with the administrator's "unprofessionalism and protocol," but other than that ... he claims he did nothing wrong.

"It's unfortunate that false news has been spread without proper fact-checking," he added. "I want to assure you that I will vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations. The truth is, the incident simply did not occur."

In a police report filed by the alleged tester, Jones is accused of grabbing the official's phone and threatening to kill her ... but he says there's video to prove there was no bad blood.

Ray J is not surprised by the collective silence of Diddy's closest friends -- he believes entertainment's elite are taking time to understand the mounting allegations, and there's a lot to process.

TMZ Hip Hop got Ray out at LAX, and asked why he feels there are so few people speaking out publicly in Diddy's defense.

Remember, Stevie J recently posted a vid reminding everyone exactly who's been at some of Diddy's legendary parties over the years -- and, yet, almost no one's had his back amid the federal raids, and all the civil lawsuit claims.

TMZ obtained video of the 17th and final song Colt cranked out during his 2.5-hour set at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Gilbert, Arizona Thursday night.

Diddy was chill Friday night, taking a stroll in Miami Beach while having a convo on his cellphone.

The embattled rap mogul was dressed in black -- head to toe -- with an orange towel draping his body. It looks like an ordinary pic, but his circumstances these days are anything but.

Pete Davidson's making sure his friends on "Bupkis" have good memories of him -- as he makes his exit, Pete's dishin' out thousands to some of the show's staff ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us, Pete's handing out cash prizes -- totaling hundreds of thousands -- to some creators who worked on season 1 of "Bupkis" to thank them for all their hard work on the show, pre-cancelation.

We're told Davidson gave the money to just a handful of people ... all of whom were involved with season 1, but who weren't necessarily working on the now-dead second season.

Diddy hasn't had much support from folks in Hollywood in the midst of the federal investigation, and Chief's star Rashee Rice could face criminal charges after admitting to hit-and-run. So we gotta ask ...
