I told you guys that I had an amazing time at the ninth annual BET Hip Hop Awards that took place over the weekend at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center! Snoop Dogg did the honors of hosting this year and did a great job and he was so funny! The skit that he does with Nia Long is going to crack you up! The green carpet was filled with lots of rappers, artists, actors and so many more talent! I also got to witness performances inside the show from some of the year’s biggest and hottest stars! Check out my TWT TEA inside!
In honor of the song’s 20th Anniversary, Brandy hit the stage along with Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Yo-Yo to perform their hit song, “I Wanna Be Down” they did an awesome job and they looked so pretty on stage! Girl Power!
I was not expecting to start crying but rap legend Doug E. Fresh won the I Am Hip Hop Award and gave a very heartfelt speech. He had just lost his mother five months ago to Alzheimers. He said, “I want to thank this woman and hip-hop. If it wasn’t for hip-hop, I don’t know where I would be,” said an emotional Fresh, who also performed “La Di Da Di” with Snoop.
I enjoyed the performances from so many artists but some of my favorites was Rich Homie Quan performing “Lifestyle” with Young Thug and Birdman, Migos singing “Fight Night” and Rae Sremmurd opening the show with “No Flex Zone”.
The crowd gasped for air when singer Keyshia Cole made an appearance on stage. Allegedly she beat the breaks off of one of Birdman’s staff members a few days ago and she was carted off to jail! She is suppose to be dating Cash Money Records CEO Birdman. I guess she had some bail money and still made it out to present DJ Mustard with “Producer of the Year”. I bet there was a lot of tension backstage because Birdman was in the building too performing “Lifestyle” with Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug, chile bye!
Sidenote: I’ve been around Keyshia a few times and when she lauched her new shoe line with Steve Madden here in Atlanta at Lenox Mall, my friend who is a fashion designer made her a dress and asked that I give it to her since I was going to be interviewing her. He’s a big fan. She has a very horrible attitude and took the gift and sat it on the floor and didn’t even say thank you! Now I decline all interviews with this chic, Karma is real and alive, thats all I will say!
I’m not too familiar with rapper Kevin Gates from New Orleans all that well but this is one ignorant dude and he made a lot of people upset on the carpet! I was standing next to some journalists who asked him a few questions and each and every answer out of his mouth was something smart! Dude, you just got put on and you are already acting reckless and arrogant? Thats a fast way to the exit door if you ask me and if you’re that mean and rude, who in their right mind will want to work with you in the industry and let alone interview you! PLEASE I beg of you grow up, you’re not that hot!
Oh before I forget, Bow Wow got engaged to reality star Erica Mena this past weekend. He posted the news on his instagram, sigh! The BET Hip-Hop Awards 2014, along with the pre-recorded cyphers, will air October 14 at 8 p.m. EST. xoxo
