Great. Some thugs shoot and stab people at some restaurant having an unofficial tie-in to the BET Awards, and all of a sudden the awards are being attended by thugs and gangsters.

1 dead, 5 injured in awards party violence in LA

AP 38 min ago By Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A fatal shooting and a separate stabbing at unsanctioned parties celebrating Sunday's BET Awards cast a shadow over the event, where top superstars like Lil Wayne, Chris Rock and others were set to mark the best in black entertainment.

One person was killed and five injured in two separate incidents ahead of the show at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, Los Angeles police said. The events were "unauthorized and unaffiliated with the BET Awards," BET said in a statement.

"The network and all organizers will continue to maintain a safe environment for all planned activities," the statement said.

The death and four of the injuries followed gunfire early Sunday at a restaurant, Officer Drake Madison said. Separately, a man was stabbed in the stomach Saturday night at a nightclub.


The violence could change the mood at the ceremony. This year, some of the performers include Pharrell, John Legend and Nicki Minaj.

Top nominees are Drake, Beyonce and Jay Z, who have five each.


Drake, who was originally set to perform at the show, will not attend, BET said Sunday. A representative for Beyonce also said the singer wouldn't attend, and her husband's rep wouldn't divulge if Jay Z would be there or not. Their attendance had nothing to do with the violence at the weekend parties.

Drake didn't attend last year's show, where he won video of the year. This year, the 27-year-old rapper's "Worst Behavior" is nominated for the top prize, competing with Beyonce's "Drunk in Love" and "Partition," as well as Pharrell's "Happy" and Chris Brown's "Fine China."


I wonder how many people got shot and/or killed at unofficial Oscar or Grammy parties happening around L.A. but didn't get reported as such.

Well when you have certain rappers like YG Rich Homie Quan and that dude who performed at the pre show you know those guys are still thugs with a microphone. Just keeping it real.

Shockingly, yes. eek shocked But then again, Lionel Richie is receiving a lifetime achievement award, so maybe she's there to support her BFF Nicole Richie.

BTW, that was a sucky lipsync job by Chris Brown. And I'm not sure how well Jhene Aiko can sing, but she at least was able to show her pretty Asian self off while not sounding particularly good on the microphone.

Exactly Huey, absolutely nothing in the report proves that these incidents were connected to the awards show. They even admit that there's no affiliation, but they still try to tie one to the other. SMDH.

BET should sue the crap out of them.

My sister was just saying they should cast him in "Being Mary Jane". I told her that by him being at the awards he's probably already cast.
