J-ray was really going through it at the BET Awards, and now we have the video to prove it — it’s a full-on meltdown, with him threatening to turn things “ghetto” after security allegedly denied him a return to the show.
The footage, obtained by TMZ, shows Ray pacing around outside the awards show at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday night … and he’s getting more and more excited.
Ray appears to be arguing with some security guards and is heard complaining about not being allowed into the show… and things escalate 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!!!”
In some parts of the video, Ray is holding a drink and in others, he appears to be smoking something… all while visibly upset.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us that Ray was hired by BET to host three events over the weekend, including a backstage access show on Sunday night… which is when this video was filmed.
We’re told Ray was filming behind the scenes for BET Digital and kept going back and forth between inside and outside during breaks… without using his credentials.
Our sources say Ray left about 15 times, including a few trips with BET executives, entering and exiting through a door right next to the stage.
But, as we were told, about 30 minutes before the awards show ended, the same security guard posted at the door finally complained about Ray not wearing his badge and said he had been doing it all night and couldn’t get in this time.

Ray J Says He’s Suicidal After Near Fight After BET Awards
The timeline suggests that this is when Ray was seen outside the show getting excited in the parking lot. Our sources say Ray thinks there’s a racial element to this… claiming the security guard who allegedly wouldn’t let him back in was white.
But keep an eye out for the end of the video: there’s a funny moment when a shirtless Ray makes a comment about his, um… physique.
As we reported, later that night, Ray nearly got into a street fight at a BET Awards after-party… and then poured out his emotions in an alarming social media post, referencing the feud and saying he was suicidal.
Based on this new video, it looks like things were looking up for Ray J.
