Ray J Says He’s ‘Suicidal’ and ‘Locked in a False Reality’ After Incident at BET Awards

Ray J claimed he is “suicidal” in a social media post shared following an altercation at a BET Awards afterparty. “I’m really at a breakin point,” the singer, 43, wrote in a lengthy statement shared via his Instagram Story on Monday, July 1. “To provide for my family and have generational wealth was always the plan. But money is evil and people are bad and I can’t take it anymore!” He added, “This s–t that is happening is mind blowing. It’s making me suicidal and uncomfortable with the perception of reality.” Ray J was involved in a physical altercation with Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer outside of rapper GloRilla’s BET Awards afterparty on Sunday night. Footage shared online showed the two men locked in an intense conversation before Ray J attempted to swing at Plummer. Ray J was then blocked by security and removed from the situation. Us Weekly has reached out to reps for both Ray J and the BET Awards for comment.

Prince Williams/WireImage Ray J claimed that BET locked him out of the awards show as well. “I don’t know who they didn’t want me to see.
