Instagram/@rayjDelay after delay for Ray J and his reality show Final Convo, one more release date pledge pushed back to August 20. The singer and reality TV contestant dusted off the classic delay post on social media, citing legalities for the reasons, while teasing a sneak peek episode. With so many delays, some fans are beginning to question if a millennia-old war between Masika Kalysha and Hazel E is worth a binge.

The all-caps caption was as intense as ever: I HAD TO PUSH IT BACK TO AUGUST 20th!! @tronixnetwork – THEY TRIPPIN ON ME PUTTING IT OUT!! Then it followed with an intense hype-video urging everyone to subscribe now. Full chaotic energy permeated the video, with Ray J screaming about not wanting to be a “TV bitch” as security tried to pull him away from an unseen scuffle. Classic Ray J shenanigans that his core audience digs while some have clearly had enough.
Opinions after watching were more mixed than anything. One comments: This is a waste of time..they both are irrelevant. Yet another chimed in: Why are they still beefing its been years. The whole notion of the feud and its promotion having slid past their expiration date popped up over and over, with many abandoning their heads to wonder how this is still even an issue years later. The few who claimed they would watch it would be canceling their subscription immediately afterward-a must-see, but not worth putting money into long-term.
Some of the more intriguing comments suggested an accusation that Ray J is keeping the women at each other’s throats. One questioned: Why is he endorsing women fighting? He is on a trip, but he has a daughter!! Others just dismissed it as another tired reality TV storyline. Then there was a mysterious deleted comment that referenced some personal beef between Ray J and Whitney Houston’s nephew, which had fans speculating about behind-the-scenes tensions.
At the very least, the hardcore fans threw in their heart emojis and shouts of appreciation. One shouted, I cant wait love me some masika been tooooo long. The UK contingent threw some more love his way, with a simple Ok fire love from UKcomment showing that his global appeal grows stronger with every detractor.
This would mark the latest of Ray J’s attempts to stay relevant in reality TV after being on Love & Hip Hop numerous times and having the reputation of a sex tape. This man just knows how to stir things up-make a good show-and keep people talking even when most of the talk is about how tired they are of the talk. Will this one drop in August, or will it get pushed back again? For one, I say that while our ears would love the latter, Ray J will never shut up about every single second of this journey whether the world cares or not.
The sneak peek of the show that he is hyping seems to showcase some of the very explosive energy that he has built so much index on-member-out screaming and near-physical exchanges. Same formula; different cast this time. But will there still be an audience for this type of reality entertainment, or will they have shifted attention to something else?
The very question of this matter differentiates it because it is a commentary on the changes taking place in reality TV. Viewers and critics have started looking away from manufactured conflicts and obvious attempts to stay relevant through manufactured controversy. Hence the comments reveal a genuine rift between those hosting this content and those that feel fed up with the same old story being retold every year for the millionth time.
Early critiques are seemingly ignored by Ray J, with an aggressive promotion following not too far after. Whether you love him or hate him is the only matter of his – a man who understands his niche and operates highly within it. Whether this particular venture will be a hit or a miss will be the loudest matter for this man, from start to finish.
