I USUALLY DONT DO THIS BUT I FELT COMPELLED TO!!!!
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by J.D. , under
I usually don't put up anything to "gossipy" or foolish but I felt this was somewhat relevant. Allegedly Chris Brown was scheduled to perform at the BET awards and do a tribute to Michael Jackson along with other artists. It's rumored that Jay-Z threatened to remove himself and other label mates if Brown was allowed to perform. Jay is blackballing Brown because of the recent incident with singer Rhianna, but let's not forget how Jay was caught on tape smacking some women in the face twice some years back. Hypocrite!! That is all
Please fast forward to the 2:55 mark, the rest of video is nonsense.
