Ray J Says He Feels Suicidal After BET Awards Incident

Ray J took to his Instagram on Monday to share a lengthy message, in which he wrote that he is “suicidal” after an incident at the 2024 BET Awards. 

In an Instagram Story, the 43-year-old R&B singer detailed an incident at the Sunday night award show, where he claims he was locked out and disrespected. He further alleges that someone paid him off, but did not share any additional details as to who or what the alleged payment was for. 

“The s**t that. Is happening is mind blowing – it’s making me suicidal and uncomfortable with the perception of reality! – THEY PAID ME TO SHUT UP AND I DID! – I FEEL BAD AND I HATE MYSELF FOR IT! I DONT WANT ANYMORE OF YOUR DIRTY MONEY!!” Ray J wrote in part. 

Alongside the garrulous caption, the singer reposted a photo of himself on the carpet at the BET Awards where he said everything was going great — until it wasn’t. Ray J added that the problems didn’t stop there, either. 

“Then it all went bad! – First at #BET and then later on too! – I’m really at a breakin point! – 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 wrote. 

Ray J continued, “These chain of reactions are stemming from being locked in a false reality / confused about this whole life! – The s**t that happened tonight to me at the awards today was hurtful – I’m working backstage and then I go take a break in the back and BET wouldn’t let me back in for some reason – I don’t know who they didn’t want me to see – it was weird.”

The “Sexy Can I” crooner took part in the BET coverage of the annual awards ceremony and was supposed to be backstage interviewing throughout the night. He did not indicate what, he believes, led to him being allegedly barred from re-entering. 

According to TMZ, after the event ended, the TV personality also got into an altercation at GloRilla’s after-party with a Zeus Network exec. At one point, Ray J allegedly threw a punch but did not hit anyone. 

Continuing on social media, Ray J further alarmed fans by sharing a message directly to his sister, Brandy, and once again expressing dark and potentially suicidal ideations.

“[…] Right after I die .. I promise you I will be feee [sic] of it all and the world can move on with what is real for me,” he wrote. “I’m sorry to myself and I’m sister – sorry Bran, I will make it right, I won’t let them get away with it!” 

He added, “I TOLD THE PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME -THAT! FELT LIKE SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAppen F**K. IT I SAID IT.”
