Overview
- During red carpet coverage on Sunday, Ray J repeatedly directed attention at an on-site American Sign Language interpreter, at times appearing to flirt and mimic her signing.
- Hosts Rocsi Diaz and Bow Wow intervened on camera to chastise him and redirect the segment after he made loud remarks including saying, “I got on nude underwear.”
- Video of the interaction, a 63-second clip posted to X by @KillaKreww, gathered tens of thousands of views and produced mixed social reactions ranging from amusement to concern that he 'needs help.'
- The interpreter continued performing her duties professionally despite the distraction, and BET had not issued any formal statement or discipline in the immediate coverage.
- Reporters noted the moment in the context of Ray J’s recent health incidents, including a late‑May hospitalization after an amateur MMA loss and earlier heart and lung problems, which has shaped some public worry about his wellbeing.
