What Happened At The Party With Ray J?

According to gossip website TMZ, after the BET Awards ended Sunday (June 30) night, the television personality got into an altercation at GloRilla's after-party with a Zeus Network executive named Lemmy Pepper. Ray J and Lemmy Pepper were yelling about fighting each other as bodyguards desperately tried to keep things peaceful. At one point, Ray J allegedly threw a punch but did not hit anyone, grabbed a backpack out of his vehicle, and charged back into the crowd. It is unclear what was in his bag, but his team convinced him to get back in the car, and they drove off.
