The incident occurred when Ray J got into a physical altercation with Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer outside rapper GloRilla’s BET Awards afterparty on Sunday night. Footage shows the two in a tense conversation before Ray J attempted to swing at Plummer, leading to security intervening and removing him from the scene.
“These chain of reactions are stemming from being locked in a false reality/confused about this whole life!” Ray J wrote. He also claimed that BET locked him out of the awards show. “I don’t know who they didn’t want me to see. It was weird,” he said. “Anyway, I left and went back to silence my frustrations. Flashing back to my everyday thought of my life, the truth that’s given is a LIE!” Ray J mentioned plans to leave the country in his post.
