Last night, the BET networked aired its own 2010 BET Awards, live from Los Angeles. Eminem, Kanye West, T.I., Diddy and Drake were on hand, as Queen Latifah played host to the event.
Highlights included an show-opening performance from West, who premiered his recently-leaked “Power” before a televised audience. Eminem did his latest in many public appearances, performing “Not Afraid.” B.o.B. performed his hit “Airplanes.” Of the stage show, many will cite Chris Brown’s Michael Jackson tribute that found the controversial Jive Records star in tears, followed by an eruption of applause. Prior to hitting the stage, Brown (@ChrisBrown) tweeted, “Be nervous for me… I’m shittin a brick right now.”
