It's all on video -- everyone was strutting down the stage as Gaga sang "Garden of Eden."

Ray J says he's boned up on RICO and even chatted with an A.I. bot … and that’s what led him to the conclusion Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are a couple of racketeers.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ray J doubles down on his racketeering claims against Kim and Kris ... laying out why he believes the racketeer label fits.

For starters, Ray J says Kim and Kris conspired with Vivid to "defraud the public with their fake lawsuit" ahead of the infamous sex tape release.

In the docs, filed by attorney Howard King, Ray J claims the Kardashians committed credit card fraud against his family by racking up a $850,000 bill.

He also claims Kim and Kris "defrauded" him into signing an agreement that featured a requirement barring further mention or public reference to the sex tape ... and he says they sent their lawyers to "extort" him after he answered questions about the sex tape in a June 2024 podcast.

Ray J says ... "To me, Kim and Kris have repeatedly engaged in a criminal enterprise and racketeering activity, violating RICO over and over again. I have no doubt about that."
