Chris Brown wanted to pay tribute to Michael Jackson during the BET Awards and was D-E-N-I-E-D.
Who played a major part in preventing it from happening? Jay Z!
The network execs also wanted no part of Brown because they feared his involvement would TRUMP the actual tribute. So they wouldn't allow him on stage.
Rumor has it Chris' team was working (begging) until the very end when his performance was supposed to begin. No one budged. INSTEAD, Jay Z performed and took his time slot.
It was said to have originally been determined that Chris Brown, Usher, Neyo, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Dream would all be an active part of the Michael Jackson Tribute. But the latest word is Chris Brown has been denied!!!!
Word backstage from all the celebrities and producers is that Chris Brown and his handlers literally begged the BET execs to reconsider. Insiders say, “Michael Jackson is/was Chris’ idol and this tribute means the world to him.” Head honchos fear a backlash if they allow Chris to perform since emotions are still so strong about the Rihanna assault incident. They don’t want Chris’ drama to overshadow the networks Michael Jackson tribute.

As I stated in my review of the BET Awards, I don't think Jay Z should have control over who performs where, just because RiRi is someone you've mentored in this business. Now what really bothered me is how can they keep Chris Brown out of the BET awards, but Don Cornelious can show his woman-beating ass on the premises? i love how you negroes pick and choose who you let on your stage. What do you guys think?
