Ray J’s evening at the BET Awards took an unexpected turn, resulting in a dramatic confrontation caught on video. The singer and reality star had a heated exchange with security outside the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, leading to a full-blown meltdown.
In exclusive footage obtained by TMZ, Ray J is seen pacing and becoming increasingly agitated after being denied re-entry to the event.
As the video progresses, he argues with security personnel, expressing his frustration over not being allowed back inside. The situation escalates when Ray J rips off his shirt and exclaims, “I didn’t bring the ghetto to BET yet, but I’m about to!!!”
Throughout the clip, Ray J is holding a drink and appears to be smoking at times, all while visibly upset. Sources close to the situation reveal that Ray J was hired by BET to host three events over the weekend, including a backstage access show on Sunday night, during which the incident occurred.
Ray J was reportedly filming backstage for BET Digital and frequently moved between inside and outside during his breaks, often without wearing his credentials.
Insiders say he exited and re-entered the venue around 15 times, sometimes accompanied by BET executives. However, about 30 minutes before the awards show ended, a security guard at the door finally objected to Ray J’s lack of a credential and refused to let him back in, sparking the altercation.
The dramatic incident has since garnered significant attention, with the video spreading across social media platforms, showcasing the intense moment Ray J’s frustration boiled over.
