Chris Brown BET Awards Shut Out?


Chris Brown was visibly absent from the BET Awards this week, which included a number of Michael Jackson tributes. This created quite a buzz online because many people feel that Brown was hugely influenced by Michael Jackson.

His absence immediately led people to assume that he was shut out of the show because of his recent legal troubles.

There were multiple reports published about this issue. One of which stated that the Rev. Al Sharpton, the current unofficial spokesman for the Jackson family, pressured organizers at BET to make the move. Another report stated that he was left out because of Jay-z’s influence.

Speculation about the singer’s absence also included Rihanna’s cover girl connection, which some believed could have played a role. But, alas, all of the assumptions proved to be false, according to Brown’s representatives. In fact, he was never even scheduled to be a part of program this year.

So, are the rumors true?… nope, but it is an interesting coincidence. To set matters straight, Sharpton and BET both claimed that all of the rumors were false.
