Chris Brown Banned From BET Awards?
Chris Brown was apparently banned from making an appearance at Sunday night’s BET Awards — because producers thought him being there would be too risky.
According the New York Daily News, organizers thought it too controversial to have Brown performing on a night honoring the late Michael Jackson.
The Run It hitmaker is facing negative publicity after pleading guilty to the February assault of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
“Rev. Al Sharpton made such a fuss to the BET executives that they pulled Chris,” an insider said. “Jay Z is a big name in the BET community, and he was very vocal about his displeasure with Chris attending the ceremony. He didn’t want Chris anywhere near the awards so close to the court’s ruling.”
Brown, added a source close to the singer, “is furious. BET asked him to perform and waited until the last minute to tell him it was off. He’s pretty shocked and outraged right now.”
