Chris Brown should have been invited to dance on the BET show in honor of Michael Jackson. Remember: We all have sin and come short of God's glory. Yet, we become Gods when someone errors. My mom use to say "Every dog will have his day." Lets hope nothing comes out about you guys.
And then you got lil mama & MIA nominated for best female hip hop artist? For real? In real life?! Dude sad as heck!
R u serious? Ya'll must be young because beyonces album sucks and Jazmin deserves to win. The bet awards gets worse & worse every year. It's like they sold out & died right along with REAL hip hop
I wished Breezy were there to perform. I want to see him! I'm tired of this mistake hanging over his head.
TI Is a snitch and a coward. I hope Lil Wayne aka the BEST RAPPER ALIVE wins everything hes nominated for.
its wrong the chris brown did not get nominated for anything he may have made a wrong choose, but he worked hard to get where is today and in my book chris brown will always have fans and we are his awards. tell that to B.E.T.
Shid, even iknow that weezy is better than tip. He's the most active rapper right now...tip ass is in jail.. I hope wayne win some N ti win some..but wayne is the best "I'll kill you, I'm like 4real(pharell) I got two clipse..damn Ti...big shit poppin..booo!! Ilove them both though.
