2011 BET Awards [Photos & Winners]

Taking place at the Shrine Auditorium, the big winner of the BET Awards was Chris Brown – who garnered three trophies out of his pack-leading six nominations.

Making for quite the awkward situation, there was a mix-up during the announcement of the Viewer’s Choice winner – as Tiffany Greene first named Brown as the winner before then saying Drake and Rihanna were the victors. With Drake accepting the trophy, it was later confirmed that Brown was, indeed, the winner of the fan voted accolade.

Hosted Kevin Hart, the annual BET event also featured performances by top acts such as Beyonce Knowles, Drake, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Mary J Blige, among many others.

Including special tributes to Steve Harvey as the Humanitarian Award Honoree and Patti LaBelle as the Life Achievement Award winner, other BET winners included Nicki Minaj as Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Kanye West as Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Wiz Khalifa as Best New Artist.

Check out the hot looks on the black carpet below. I loved Kerry Washington and Rocsi’s dresses the alot. Eve blew me away with the fly hair – seems like she gets better with age, doesn’t it? I hate Nicki’s whole fit from the dress, to the stockings…. NO! What do you think?

Tupac’s Shooter REVEALED!

Dexter Isaac, a longtime associate of James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, released a statement to AllHipHop.com confessing to shooting Tupac.
 
“I want to apologize to his family [Tupac Shakur] and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman],” Isaac said from prison. “I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac and Biggie's] mothers some closure.”

Rosemond is a hip hop mogul and CEO of Czar Entertainment who manages The Game and Sean Kingston, among many others. In May, he turned himself in on drug charges, and named Isaac in a lengthy statement defending himself and professing his innocence.

The shooting took place two years before Tupac was murdered on September 7th, 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada, shot to death by two unnamed assailants.

An excerpt from Rosemond’s statement, which can be read in full here:

“In 1994, James Rosemond hired me to rob 2Pac Shakur at hte Quad Studio. He gave me $2,500, plus all the jewelry I took, except for one ring, which he wanted for himself. It was the biggest of the two diamond rings that we took. He said he wanted to put the stone in a new setting for his girlfriend at the time, Synthia Ried. I still have as proof the chain that we took that night in the robbery.”

So, who killed him in 1996? Geez, will the real mystery ever be solved?

Halfway through her set, the power went out leaving her standing in the middle of a dark stage with no backing track but like a true professional Mya continued with her performance as the crowds screamed their support.
