Ray J That’s exactly what he was going through at the BET Awards, and now we have the video to back it up — it’s a completely chaotic scene in which he threatens to make things “ghetto” after he’s allegedly denied re-entry to the show by security.
Footage obtained by TMZ shows Ray hanging out outside the awards ceremony at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night … and he’s getting more and more excited.
Ray is seen arguing with some security guards and is heard complaining about not being let in to the show … and it gets to the point where he rips off his shirt and declares, “I haven’t brought the ghetto to BET yet, but I’m about to bring it!!!”
In some parts of the video, Ray is holding a drink, and at other times he’s seen smoking something … and he’s clearly upset during all of this.
Sources with first-hand knowledge tell us Ray was hired by BET to host three shows over the weekend, including a backstage access show on Sunday night … and that’s when this video was shot.
We’re told Ray was filming backstage for BET Digital, and during a break, he went in and out … without wearing his ID.
Our sources say Ray went out about 15 times, including a few visits with BET executives, entering and exiting through a door right next to the stage.
However, we’re told that about 30 minutes before the awards ceremony ended, the same security guard posted at the door took exception to Ray not wearing his ID card, and told him he had been doing it all night and this time he wouldn’t be allowed inside.
