Whitney Houston was honored in a moving tribute by her mother, Cissy Houston, Marian Carey, and other friends and family during the live show, which, during other portions, was marred by obscenities that were constantly bleeped out.
Performers included Brandy, Monica, G.O.O.D. Music, Rick Ross, Usher, Nicki Minaj, and Chris Brown.
Meanwhile,
Some ish almost went down at the BET Awards according to allhiphop.com.
The site says it was almost on between two hot tempered hip hop personalities. One being rapper Busta Rhymes and the other being Power 105.1 Breakfast Club host, Charlamagne.
According to a source, Busta was upset over an interview with his baby mama and his son that took place on the Wendy Williams radio show back in 2004.
Yes, Charlamagne used to work for Wendy Williams, but according to him, he was not working with Wendy in 2004 when the interviews happened.
You have wonder why it would take Rhymes 8 years to confront Charlamange, but primarily, why he just didn’t deal with Wendyin the first place?
When asked about the almost fight, here’s what Charlamagne told Vlad TV:
“Arguing. Acting like we wanted to do something to each other but neither of us made a move. That’s why I don’t talk to ni***s after 5PM.”
