On Sunday, June 30, at BET Awards 2024, American singer and songwriter Ray J and Lemuel Plummer, the CEO of Zeus Network, came to a breaking point in their growing feud. In a video captured on the day, Ray could be seen attacking Plummer when they bumped into one another at the afterparty. They confronted each other despite the security and entourages attempting to break up the confrontation.

The actor and singer eventually gave in and returned to his car at his team's request after attempting to take something out of his rucksack. Furthermore, the argument took place after he had called Plummer a "Black Jeffrey Epstein" and accused him of abusing women in the past.
