If you're like me and you're wondering why Chris Brown didn't perform at the BET Awards as a tribute to Michael Jackson then you're not alone. The word that's spreading over the internet like wild fire is that Jay-Z pulled a Matthew Knowles/Beyonce and threatened to pull his performance if Chris Brown was to perform.
According to a source that was at the shows rehearsals on Friday, Brown was in fact set to perform "Man In The Mirror" but when Jay-Z heard about it he wasn't happy and said he'd pull his own performance of "D.O.A." if Breezy took the stage. Supposedly Beyonce was also set to perform a tribute to Jackson by doing "Smooth Criminal", but at the last minute she switched to one of the songs from her new album "I Am... Sasha Fierce" and did "Ave Maria" instead.
I thought I'd post about this to let you guys know about something interesting I heard. A while ago when I first got tipped off about the Matthew Knowles/LeToya situation I also got word of some drama involving Chris Brown and Jay-Z. What I was told was that Jay-Z and Matthew Knowles are part of like a 'music mafia' with a lot of other high profile and powerful black muscians and that a lot of shady ish goes on (no Beyonce is NOT part of it). Supposedly Jay has had it in for Brown ever since the Rihanna assault went down, and Brown was thrown out of the tight knit circle as soon as it happened. They don't take too kindly to people messing up their well oiled money making machine and Jay took it personally as a sign of disrespect, so he's done a few behind-the-scenes things to try and stick it to Brown. Anyways I just thought I'd mention that because it's interesting that I heard that and now this BET drama has surfaced. I swear the music industry is full of so many sneaky snakes and Jay is the leader of the pack. Beyonce needs to get her ass out of there quick smart if you ask me!
