yeah, the little girls on stage … not a good look. at all.
glad drake stepped up on that. in reality, none of them should have performed because none of the songs matched the theme of the awards that night. i still commend drake for wanting to perform through his injury, though.

i don’t know how i feel about him being signed to YM anymore. even though it’s a joint venture, i really hope that he remains Drake. Aubrey Drake Graham, and not some washed out version of who he started as.

I pray that “Thank Me Later” will truly be something music fans everywhere can be thankful for.

You know what for real, i commend drake for apologizing, and i think he do care about his reputation also and that was a good look for him to do that, and regardless of who kids it was i dont care if it was jesus kids, they shouldnt have been on the stage with grown men, and that kinda profanity in those types of clothing, it wont a good look i dont care who get mad. But its over and he apologized and thats all that matter, but one more thing for the comment about lil wayne daughter was upset that she couldnt get on the stage when her dad accepted the award was a lie she did get on that stage with her father, and even if she didnt she just would have cried cause she has gotten up there plenty of times before, and she dont always have to hit that stage everytime he goes up to do something or accept a award. An even more she is too old to be crying like that for something so petty, come one. Please come again with an better excuse as to why she was up there instead of that one. It just shows how much respect he has for his own child, cause mine would have been standing down in the audience clapping like the rest of the audience was. But anyways past that, drake God bless and u did the right thing sweetie, i was disappointed with u but u apologized and i believe it was genuwine and im moving one, however the BET awards should have apologized for more than what drake and lil wayne and them did, they should have apologized for that wack tribute they put on. An even though they had little time to get it together they should have just done something at the end , maybe have some of the artist get on the stage and sing we are the world, and yes jamie foxx did good with michael impression, they should have kept that and janet, and thats it , and then announced that because of the sudden death of michael and the bet awards already in place that they will do a tribute and later date, and the date will be announced in the near future, and they should have just let it alone, cause what they did was totally wrong and disrespectful to michael jackson. So they should have apologized for more than what drake and them did. And for them not letting chris brown perform cause of jayz was totally wrong, im sure he would have done a better job than that wack mess, that grandpa jayz did.But God bless. Michael i love u baby, RIP!

I am glad he apologized. It is the correct move.

We need to realize that the majority of people that watched the BET awards are not going to google search and get on a hip hop blog or this website and research what happened on the show or realize that it was lil wayne’s daughter and her friends. And on an even more important note, no one cares. People saw what they saw, which was preteen girls on stage with grown men singing “I just wanna love every girl in the world.” And they saw it as inappropriate (and it was). And BET is going to cover themselves regardless. They are a billion-dollar business.

Drake is now a business, and not just the artist we love. He has a deal. I am glad he is (somewhat) thinking like it. Now if only he’ll apologize/redo the Best I Ever had video…or hurry up and put out a new video for a new single, cuz people need to forget about that one quick.

The blame should be placed on BET and not Drake..
BET planned it and knew they would preform it.. seeing that they censored the majority of the song.They should have used proper judgment and told them not preform.

I’m glad he apologized. I shows he gives a damn about his reputation. The award show sucked big time but at least people who didn’t know him before hand know he’s not the type of artist to perform with preteens. Lil Wayne needs to issue one too, but I won’t hold my breath.

Anyway, next.

I still with he’d of signed elsewhere.

I agree w. na 103%. I realllly feel like Drake isn’t the same Drake that I’ve been following all these years. He’s been letting me down these past weeks. First, he was scheduled to appear the the Funk Master Flex Car Show in Jersey.. came for 20 minutes, didn’t show his face and left. Then the BET Awards. Then signing with Young Money. I feel like hangin with Wayne and all the groupies, fame and spotlight is starting to get to his head a bit. I was really hoping he’d be different from the rest and stay humble and respectable. The Drake that I see now is slowly drifiting away from those characteristics.. I still love him, nonetheless. I just hope that this phase is shortlived.
