B.E.T. took over L.A. last night with it’s Annual Award Ceremony. This event drew celebrities from all over to meet at the Shrine Auditorium. Unexpected winners brought shock to the crowd. UGK were the spotlight of the show, winning two awards, one for “Best Group” and the other for “Video Of The Year” with “International Player’s Anthem”. Kanye won “Best Male Hip Hop Artist Award”. Some weren’t expecting that outcome, especially when the other nominees included Lil Wayne & Jay Z. Some felt that Lil Wayne should have won that award, cause of his album sells and mixtape exposures. At least Wayne got the “Viewer’s Choice Award” for his latest single “Lollipop”. He stated,” I am nothing without God, Baby! I just want to say thank God, thank my family and thank Universal.” Dang Weezy what about your fans!
As the show went on another shocker, but a crowd pleaser….Raheem Devaugn finally got recognized for the “Best J Award”. This was a shocker, because his nominees happen to be jazz queens, such as Chaka Khan, Ledisi, Jill Scott and Angie Stone. Also a pleaser because Raheem has been an unrecognized artist for some time now, and it’s finally time that we see him get recognized for his efforts.
If you didn’t catch the show, you must make the time to check out the video above showing Ciera & Chris Brown’s performance. The choreography was just sick. That move that Chris Brown pulled off at the end was crazy. Yo, I have too say the way that they move together made me wonder a little. What you think?
