It's unclear how much of the heated back-and-forth between Ray J and Bow Wow was genuine animosity or just a whole lot of smack talk.

Ray J is known to get into heated arguments and back-and-forths with a whole host of people, but few folks had Bow Wow on their radar in this regard. Nevertheless, in an Instagram video caught by The Art Of Dialogue on Twitter, you can hear the singer go off on the rapper and Like Mike star over what seems to be a run-in at a strip club that caused some friction. However, it's unclear how much of this is genuine animosity and how much is trolling, as Ray said at various points during his rant that it was all jokes.

"Bow Wow got a wife in the strip club... Bow Wow is so jealous 'cause we was actually trying to look out for his h*e," he remarked. "I swear to God, Bow Wow is a b***h, bro. He's always been a b***h, even though I love that n***a...

"Ray, that's how you feel about your little brother?" Bow said from a separate phone in the video, laughing. It seemed like the NPR Tiny Desk performer wasn't taking this too seriously.

"This n***a tripping on a stripper that we was just trying to show love to," Ray added. He also mentioned his beef with Blueface at one point, and Bow was trying to defend himself.

At press time, he hasn't taken to social media to speak on this or explain anything that may have happened between them. It's just a pretty bizarre interaction that seemed to amuse all parties involved, so we'll see if there's actually another story here.

Ray J's Bow Wow Rant

Elsewhere, Bow Wow's dealt with wild rants before, such as the infamous story from Orlando Brown about them allegedly having sexual relations. Bow denied this outright, but it has an ironic connection to Ray J in retrospect. Ray beat Orlando in a recent boxing match.

It seems like this rant could've all been in good fun, despite the language. But maybe this will devolve into a more contentious social media dynamic for fans to scrutinize. After all, it's not like Ray or Bow are strangers to online antics and talking smack back.
