Ray J Gets Into Scuffle With Zeus CEO At BET Awards After Party
Ray J has had it out for Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer for allegedly abusing women, going as far as to call him the “Black Jeffrey Epstein.” The 43-year-old singer attempted to get physical with Plummer at a BET Awards After Party.
Footage surfaced online of the two having an intense conversation on Sunday evening (June 30). A large crowd surrounded them and was pivotal in breaking them up when the Love & Hip-Hop actor tried to swing on Plummer.
The two were successfully broken up but it appeared someone threw a drink in Ray J’s face. He briefly disappeared and went to his truck, only to return later with a bag in hand. People intervened once again when he reached into the bag, seemingly believing that he had a weapon. He was held back and eventually taken to a car to leave the premises. Watch below.
Ray J and Lemuel Plummer’s feud began in May. Ray accused him of manipulating women into sleeping with him so they could get featured on one of the network’s shows. Initially, he claimed that he planned to pursue litigation against Plummer. Some people believed he sparked the controversy to benefit himself and his new Tronix Network, but the “Tie Me Down” singer denied that.
“I don’t like when people are doing people wrong and making them do shows for certain things that they shouldn’t,” he said during an interview on The Breakfast Club. “That would be foul, that would be inhumane. These are facts. I have the footage. I have a lot of stuff that he’s been doing. Now it’s time to do what we’re doing now, and that’s legally do the right thing.”
This energy aligns with Ray J’s recent comments about Diddy after footage surfaced of him abusing Cassie. “[The video] was heartbreaking and shameful and unacceptable I’ve never seen nothing like that,” he told The Art Of Dialogue. “I’ve never seen nothing like that in the history of my life, so that’s a new [one] for me. I don’t know what kind of demon you are, but somebody need to motherf**kin’ perform an exorcism fast.”
