While Chris Brown‘s dancer, B Shaw, claims that Jay-Z was the reason Chris was unable to perform last night, our partner GossipOnThis.com claims to have exclusive insider information that paints a very different picture:

“Chris Brown was supposed to open the show but BET executives were not agreeing to let Chris go on stage after they had already established that he was performing,” a source revealed to Gossip On This. “A lot of reports were saying that he was using this as a way to rebuild his image. So at the last minute, he was pulled. … After 3 days of rehearsal, they pulled Chris Brown from the show…”

SOURCE: GossipOnThis

Either way, BET was foolish for not allowing Chris Brown to perform. According to multiple reports, the Jackson family wanted Chris Brown to perform a tribute to Michael. After all, no one would have done it better. The 2009 BET Awards were truly a mess. Hopefully the 2010 brings something way better.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson – the greatest there ever was, and ever will be.


  • Janette Z.

    I Agree either reason is stupid. Everyone knows that the show would of been a success if breezy would of perform. Well that’s BET gets. Like the sayn goes… What goes around comes around. Ad it sure will come back and bite BET in the ass. Chis i’m so sorry this had to happen I’m sure it ment a lot to you to perform…. But there will be other opportunities best believe that!!!!!!

    • Mark

      I agree, but watch MTV.. There Next and they Will LET CHRIS BROWN DO A TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON! AND THEIR SHOW WILL BE MORE TOGETHER!!! I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR JAY-Z!!! I LOVE HIS WIFE!!! AND I M JUST SO UPSET!!!"

  • Kelly

    Jay z had nuttin to do with chris…he aint god and im pretty sure nobody bows down to watever jay z says so i no that story was straight bullshit…but the whole building up his image by using MJ…seems pretty accurate to me..Something fishy had to been going on for BET to all of a sudden cancel his performance…and im pretty sure that BET would have not expressed that they were going to have him perform, then risk losing alot of there viewers without having a reasonable explaination…well just have to find out

    • sunshine

      Don't care what you say this sounds like something he would do….

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/cassiej cassiej

    i still think jay-z had something to do with it, yall better believe that Jayz will do anything to keep chris down and make sure rihanna is on top again, WAIT FOR IT.

  • nieka

    i just wrote bet a angry email that was a mockery of what MJ stood for and they shpould be ashamed of themselves

  • Yasmine

    People believe the rumour about Jay because he pulled a hissy fit when Jim Jones was at Summer Jam. He threatened by not performing saying Jim was 'in the way'.

    Either way…it was not a tribute, more like mockery.

    BET suffer from "Bi*chA**ness anyway.

  • Tracy

    ppl who organiszed BET AWARDSZ didnt understood anythiinq! it wasnt dealiinq about CB's career buut about giiviinq a beautiful tribute to the KINQ OF POP MiiCHAEL JACKSON! We dont thiink about what Chris did, we're juust thinkinq about his talent of showman; cuuz he learnt all by MJ. MJ loved Chriis too, nd he would be happy if Chris could do thiis triibute … Anywaysz rest in peace Miichael , we love yuh! Nd Chris, we are waiitiinq for yuh come backk! love yaa

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/cassiej cassiej

    I am seriously boycotting BET……..I mean who else could have done it better than CHRIS? who? the dream? JT? FUCK no

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/ElizzL_ ElizzL_

    okay, if jayz really did this, hes really stupid. damn hes so childish he needs to leave chris alone. he does everything for his precious little rihanna. omg jayzz grow up you ugly gorilla!
    anddd.. if BET did it, i think it is childish too. i mean like, its about remembering MJ right? was it about chris? was it about chris' problems? NOOOOOO. it was about the KING dying, we could make him proud if chris did that tribute, he would do it best..
    but nooo, both jayz and BET had to cut chris of, for STUPID reasons..
    damn.. people really are stupid… shame chris wasnt there. he would make MJ proud. so proud.
    even though, chris will make his comeback!! I KNOW IT!
    btw; that new song "Better on the other side" is really touching me… it was truly from chris' heart.. it's soo sad, chris was such a big fan..
    these past 4 days were really hard for everyone.. RIP.

    • http://www.chrisbrownweb.com jazz

      Wat do you mean if BET did it? BET did do it. It's FUCKED UP! I'm boycotting BET too. Jay-z is going to pay

  • Sedalia

    Ok the truth is that the Bet Awards wasn't all that great. I believe the story. What Jay-Z needs to get threw is BIG HEAD & LIPS that this show wasn't about him. It was about MJ. The only reason why Chris & a lot of other people are performers because of MJ. Chris' tribute would be AMAZING. I only watched it because of him. You can tell they DIDN'T do to much changing. So BET get some LAME-O POINTS for NOT CELEBRATING MJ'S LIFE.

  • Lady T

    THAT WAS PURE BULLSHIT N A DISGRACE LAST NIGHT! IT IS DISGUSTING THAT THEY USED MJ FOR RATING! I AM FURIOUS THAT CHRIS BROWN WAS TAKEN OUT, KNOWING HE WAS GOING TO BE THE ONE 2 SAFE THE BULL THEY HAD…..NIEKA OR ANYONE ELSE PLEASE GIVE ME BET’S EMAIL ADDRESS FOR I HAVE A FEW WORDS TO EXCHANGE WITH THEM…..SO DISAPPOINTED IN THEM FOR THAT FUCKERY I SAW LAST NIGHT…..VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DEBRA LEE AND STEPHEN HILL…..N IF IT IS TRUE JAY Z DID THAT, THAT IS FUCKED UP N I WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT HIM N HIS WORK

    • nieka

      lady t you can go to bet.com and click on contact bet their email will be on that page..the saying is that covergirl got cb pulled fu*k them also

  • http://www.chrisbrownweb.com jazz

    CB is the greatest, (besides MJ of course), haters fall back and be gone!

  • bria

    seriously you guys BET did a good job with the tribute they only had 3 days to put together a tribute to MJ. I mean who cares if CB didnt perform they still did all they could to honor MJ and im sure he is very proud at the job they did

    • I Still Love U Chris

      Actually, I have to disagree with you, b/c they were blowing it up like it was going to be such a great show, and it really wasnt. It wasn't that CB didn't perform, it was those who were said to do tributes really didn't, i.e. Beyonce/JayZ, and Usher, JT and CB were said to be there and neither was. I think that BET should just do a seperate tribute show, b/c when it comes to MJ it needs to be done right, not rushed.

    • I Still Love U Chris

      Correction: "Beyonce/JayZ and etc". Were said to pay tribute but they didn't, and Usher,JT and CB didn't even show.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/cassiej cassiej

      u are so wrong, it sucked ass

    • mark

      Yes…but my thing is the awards was all over the place!1q I think they should have just Do an BET Specail for nect month that was strictly for MICHAEL! Cause It wasnt really that big of a tribute! Honestly, it was by far the worst tribute!!! They could have atleast let CIARA DANCE..Not having chris brown was major because! Thats what we all wanted to see…Its like we as black people dont forgive for mistakes! We always triesd to keep each other Down! Rihanna Isnt even mad at chris Brown WHY IS JAY>>????

  • Nananaz

    BET awards were SO LAME AND PLAIN DISRESPECTFUL!! BESIDES NOT HAVING CHRIS PERFORM DID ANYBODY CATCH LIL WAYNE'S PERFOMANCE?? WAT WAS UP WITH THE LIL GIRLS ON STAGE?? AND ALL THAT CUSSING! THE LANGUAGE THEY WERE USING WERE STRAIGHT DISRESPECTFUL. THEY HAD MICHAEL'S FAMILY THERE AND ELDERS. AND THEY ON STAGE TALKIN BOUT FUCKIN AND PUSSY. SMH NEVER AGAIN BET. NEVER AGAIN.

  • Kali

    That show was completly a disgrace. Lil wayne's performance had ME embarrassed. Yelling out curse words and having them CHILDREN on stage. Michael's fam must be dissapointed. Hopefully MTV will be WAY better and WAY MORE RESPECTFUL.

    • I Still Love U Chris

      OMG!!! THAT WAS SO HORRIBLE! I couldn't believe that they were acting that way, that was so disrespectful and a disgrace. I believe that performance should've been cut, and made room for someone who is going to pay tribute, not act like they are crazy.

    • mark

      i know exactly what you mean!!! MTV WILL DO IT MUCH BETTER…!

  • Liz

    It's time for all the CB fans to come together. Petitions were started by a few loyal Chris Brown fans to allow Chris to perform at the VMAs and to keep Camel face from at least interrupting him. We've also written letters to BET.

    Link to petition: (spread the word and make your voice heard) We can't sit back and allow people to trample over one of the few talents left.

      dear jesus, leave it alone.

  • DUMBASSES

    MOVE THE FUCK ON, SO WAT IF CHRIS WASNT THERE, IT ISNT THE END OF THE WORLD AND THIS ISNT THE ONLY TIME A TRIBUTE IS GOING TO BE DONE FOR MICHAEL..NOBODY EVEN CARES ABOUT WHO DID AND DIDNT PERFORM, MANY ARTIST WERE SUPPOSE TO PERFORM INCLUDING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND USHER, AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM DID….YOU FANS ARE JUST AS BAD AS BET…THE TRIBUTE WAS FOR MICHAEL, AND AS BET DIDNT ALLOW CHRIS'S ISSUES DISSOVLE FOR ONE NIGHT,YOU GUYS ARE TAKING AWAY THE HONOR AND RESPECT EVERYONE DID FOR MICHAEL THAT NIGHT,….YOU GUYS ARE JUST AS BAD AS BET…TAKING THE SHINE AWAY FROM MICHAEL AND PUTTING IT ON CHRIS…WHEN IN REALITY,,,MICHAEL DESERVES 2348298347937 TIMES MORE RESPECT THAN CHRIS!!!

    • Anya

      thank you.im a fan of chris's but im not bitching about how chris wasnt able to perform on a non organized show..and EXACTLY the night was for michael, and the talks should be about michael, not on some artist that didnt get to perform just becuz BET decided to change there minds…get over it…its done with, and lets just show love and respect for Michael , thats wat he deserves.

      Ps. The whole story about how the "jacksons" requested chris to perform isnt legit. the jacksons were private the entire time since mj's death, except for his father (not suprised).. and BET had to beg for someone from the family to come and so thats why ony janet came..and in realitiy, she wasnt wanting to come out that night..so saying that the jackson family stopped what they were doing to request a young artist to sing ………please…..

      • Mecca

        Bitch u ain't no Chris brown fan

      why are you on HIS website again…..dumb fuck

      I sorta agree…i feel that people are forgetting that this was about michael…so what if chris wasnt there…he wasnt the star of the production…

    • Matl

      dont agree theses people are saying that by having CHRIS BROWN Would have been a great tribute for mIchael….Clearly BET and Jay-Z was not thinking about Michael, because they overlooked him!!! YOU HAVE YOUR opinion But CHRIS BROWN SHOULD HAVE OPENED!!!! LOOK AT WHAT MICHAEK SAID HIMESELF….CHRIS BROWN IS THE CLOSET TO HIM@!!!!! LOOK IT UP!!!

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/annie92 annie92

    thank god it's clear that jay-z had nothin to do with it.

  • Da Fire

    ALl I know is that this was not about Chris it was about MJ. Ever heard of hear say. But you c Chris performed in 07 at the VMA I think. He tore it up, so MJ new Chris was sincere about him. Because noone danced –better yet noone can dance like MJ but I swear to Chris is the one who could have gotten the job done, not that joke of a performance Jamie Foxx did. I was mad I watch just so I could c Chris make MJ proud, and all was done was a mess–well not everything the OJAY's were great, and a few more, but Lil Wayne-and I love him but on the stage with lil kids saying he wished he could F every girl in the world. SOME ROLE MODEL HE IS. Long story short-Chris made a mistake he's paying 4 it. Only God can judge him not man. Give the young man a break. I'm sure everyone has did something sometime or another that they are not proud of.

    WORDS CANT DEFINE HOW UPSET I AM ABOUT THE BET AWARDS….I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT JAY-Z HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT…AN ARTICLE I WAS READING SAID THAT JAY-Z SAID IF CHRIS PERFORMS THEN HIM OR BEYONCE WONT PERFORM. WTF? NO ONE CARES!!! JAY-Z PERFORMANCE WAS WACK ANYWAYS! (I LOVED BEY'S) && THEN ANOTHER ARTICLE I WAS READING SAID THAT IT WAS COVER GIRLS FAULT THAT CB DIDNT PERFORM BECAUSE THEY WERE ONE OF THE SPONSORS AND THEY TOLD BET IF HE PERFORMED THEN THEY WOULD PULL OUT ALL THEIR SPONSORSHIPS…UGH! I HATE BET NO MATTER WHAT THE CAUSE WAS OF HIM NOT PERFOMING….I KNOW MJ IS SHAKING HIS HEAD AT BET RIGHT NOW.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/cassiej cassiej

      i know…its real bullshit

  • Amiiswaqq

    im upset either if it was JayZ or BET fault there both full of shit. You had the boy practice for 3 days and then didnt let him perform thats Bullshit. Jayz IS fake cause years back theres a tape of him slapping some woman i think in africa and then he payed her off not to speak. what kinda shit is that and then he doesnt want chris to do his thing. & As for BET there going 2 get alot of backlash from this. The awards was soo fuckin Ghetto and a mess.

    piss on jay-z and bet and who ever is giving Chris a hard time, even if jay-z didn't have anything to do with it, piss on him anyway, he wanted to bet up Chris and that was wrong, he didn't know the hole story and that asshole wanted to bet up on Chris!!!! so piss on him anyway!!!!.damn it all, i'm so tired of people wanting to just be mean to Chris, Chris didn't just jump up a hit rihanna, she got hit because she was hitting on him, and yes he had to admitted to hitting her because he did, but there were other things behind it..so piss on jay-z and anyone else who don't like Chris!!!!!.lol A CHRIS LOVER FOR EVER!!! THANK YOU

  • http://twitter.com/ambyrosia Ambyrosia

    I'm sorry, blaming the "white media" is the biggest bullshit I've ever heard. It's unprofessional and sounds like a bunch of sour grapes and speculation. The only believable thing in that article is the fact that BET's trying to cover their ass than just trying to honor Michael Jackson's name. I'm gonna go with what his backup dancer said. At least it's more believable.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/cassiej cassiej

      true

  • Melanie

    Chris Brown or his management needs to issue a statement explaining what happened, Why Chris Brown did not show up at the BET awards, etc..

    • netta

      so wasnt he even at the awrds?? sorry im frm australia so i didnt get to see it cause aussie tvee doesnt show it:(:(

        No he wasn't at the Awards period. Neither was Rihanna.

  • NAS702

    That sounds pretty stupid to me (if it's true!).Chris Brown can't perform because of the negativity of him beating up his girlfriend, but the show was to honor a known pedophile. Good job BET!!!

      did you know that the kids that MJ apparently molested came out a few days ago saying it wasn't true and they had just wanted money?

  • kemi

    A Breezy Never I’m sure mj is not shaking his head right now I mean how would you know ur not mj okay I know ur madd xhris didn’t perform but we all are and he will do his own tribute in his own time but really I’m sure that mj is looking down and is honored that bet made an effort to change things on the show to make a tribute to him and that he will always be rembered as the king of pop rip!!

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/oceanmate oceanmate

    BET Awards was disappointing, as far as tributes goes and a mess. They could have had at least one set of "hard hitting" dancers which reflected who and what Michael stood for. Remember tributes to "Aretha Franklin" Smokey Robinson" , Stevie Wonder–Jamie Foxx hosted that tribute! But all were done with class, not "Hambone and slap stick". Michael Jackson was going strong right with the stars just named. Usher or Chris Brown was truly needed! They should have waited and done a tribute befitting of a King of POP. Michael worked hard up until the very END he deserved something that resembled him! Jay Z, that's a different genre al together.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/oceanmate oceanmate

    ……Im sorry, but I have to say this: And the cussing, so uncalled for and "Ghetto". Michael Jackson never cussed in public or if he did I did not see it.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/taymorel taymorel

    MJ was a great dancer and entertainer, but the BET Awards didn't really have a great dance performance tribute to MJ. That is what Chris or Usher would have brought to the BET Awards. It missed out on a huge part of who Michael was–a dancer.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/oceanmate oceanmate

      Amen to that!

  • annie

    I don't think that CHRIS BROWN need BET to help rebuild his image!!!!
    He still have millions of fans out there who still love and support him.
    Jay-Z is childlish if he won't perform if Chris did. They all know that Chris woulda killed it!!!! People need to get over what had happen with him and Rihanna, everyone makes mistakes, at least he took responsibility for what he did..

    He is the same CHRIS BROWN we all fell in love with.
    And like many i will always support him cause he's the best!!!

  • Lotus

    AMEN ANNIE
    That is exactly how I feel, people really need to stop basing who they support by everything else besides wit they are actually famous for. Chris I KNOW is a Great Guy I’ve met him and I van honestly say if that is an evil person then we all are. jay-a needs to get off his high horse and stop being such a drama queen. didn’t he say he was retireing??? wit the hell stick to ur words asshole!! Beyonve I luv u but this dude needs to go, fo real!!! Rihanna that dumb girl made a song “unfaithful” about cheating, now bitch don’t get all upset cause u find him cheating, we now know that she just sings lyrics made for her that she doesn’t believe in, which to me seems FAKE!!! Chris and MJ are very much the same their music and their talent is undiscribable and they both are controversial artist and I think people should stop thinking that eveyone is perfect and if u deny him three times like peter did to Jesus ur punishment comes unjust! Look I guess wut I’m saying is no one deserves to be treated unfairly like that, NO ONE!! That makes us ok with the fact that the devil leads us!!! Get a brain to those who have hate in their heart and turn the other cheek!! Chris comeback and shut these haters down!!!

  • Lotus

    Sorry typo on my last comment to annie
    Just figure it out!!!
    It’s jay-z not jay-a
    It’s beyonce not beyonve

    Etc…….

  • kemi

    Does chris have twitter?

  • Lotus

    Haha
    I laugh at ur name cause u sound like the spokesman for just that all the DUMBASSES.
    Cause it’s not about the tributes to michael Jackson smart one it’s the fact that at the last minute (yeah minute not hour or day) he was cut for some shitty reason when in the past Chris has given BET the whole network ALOT and he was sold out thy short. Come on!!! that’s ignorant. And yeah michael does deserve more respect than chris but wasn’t it just a week ago when people weren’t paying him that much respect. Huh!!! It is just amazing how the same people who talked mad trash about michael are now paying tribute to him. it took his death to make people realize how much he meant to the music world. You really need to shut ur mouth cause u ain’t got a pot to piss in. Chris Brown is michael Jacksons prodigy so if were on the subject of wit MJ would want then I’m almost 1223445548849393002% sure asshole that chris is his number one choice. So go find somewhere to write ur lame ass comments cause on a chris brown website isn’t such a good idea.

  • Lotus

    People like jay are just simply scared to see chris do well.

  • Fuck Jay Z

    I BELIEVE CHRIS DANCERS. WHATEVER IF BET WILL TAKE CHRIS BROWN OFF BECAUSE OF JAYZ THEY SOME SCARY ASS N1GGAS. DO YOU THINK THEY REALLY GONE "SNITCH" ON THE HOV? HELL NAW! WHATEVER BET SUCKS CAMEL D1CK ANYWAY.
    @NAS702 YOU JUST DISRESPECTFUL

    BET PULLED CHRIS BECAUSE OF THAT CAMEL FACE BASTARD. THEY AINT WANT TO HAVE TO REDO THE TIME FRAME BECAUSE CAMEL FACE THREATENED TO TAKE CHRIS OFF THE SHOW OR NO CAMEL FACE AND HIS WIFE. THEY AINT WANT TO LOSE MONEY OR ADVERTISEMENTS FROM THEM TWO DEVILS.

  • Fuck Jay Z

    COMPLAIN TO B.E.T's PR SPOKESPERSON Jeanine.Liburd@bet.net

    THEY WILL RESPOND. SEVERAL PPL HAVE GOTTEN RESPONSES. THEY CAME BACK WITH SOME BS REPLIES ABOUT HOW THEY ARE SORRY WE FELT THAT WAY BUT AINT MENTION CHRIS. SO KEEP COMPLAINING UNTIL WE GET AN ANSWER.

  • Equus

    BET was wrong for cutting the poor boy. i don't think he was trying to boost his image, he's been doing tributes for michael as far as from 2006 till now, in his concerts he does tributes for MJ. Chris is a true fan, now beyonce and them (jay z) i don't know what to say about them. i read a statement that beyonce made about the jackson family, she was wrong for that too, and jay z, if he had been the one behind the scene's trying to stop chris from perfoming then he is wrong, dead wrong. a young man is trying to give and his respects to MJ, give him a well deserved send off. Jay Z, you shouldn't mess with things like that god doesn't like ugly. now BET, you let someone talk you into not letting CB perform, had him rehearseing and got hyped up only to take away something that meant alot to him, to us. BET will get what comes back around.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/oceanmate oceanmate

    Yeah, beyonce did talk ugly regarding someone comparing her to Janet. I remember, she said that her father always had nice cars and house unlike the Jacksons, they were never ghetto

  • T,F

    Thanks Fuck Jay Z for the e-mail address of the BET publicit becuz I will e-mail her. I am just disappointed at BET for using MJ tribute for people to watch the show. BET is just like the media and other people who are coming out now using and talking about MJ like dirt to get ratings. BET disappointed me. BET needs to remember the award show was bout a tribute to MJ and nothing else. If the family wanted Chris Brown to perform, then BET should have respected the family wishes and not their image. By pulling Chris Brown off the program the last minute (and praticing for three days) was wrong. I am just uset at BET.

  • Lady_CB

    I am so livid with BET and I never watched before this award show and I most certainly won’t be tuning in now. Don C. was on that stage when he beat a woman, T.I won an award from jail, Bobby Brown was able to perform, Jay-z punched a woman in the face on camera and performed so what gives? It hurts so badly to see BET dishing out the crap they called a “tribute” complete with Jaime making an ass of himself/promoting his own endeavors. Chris still has a lot of fans whether they like it or not. That Rihanna case is totally separate from MJ. He is more important than Rihanna and Chris combined and their troubles should NOT have been dragged into his death to hinder the excellent tribute that man deserves. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FAMILY REQUESTED CHRIS. WTF?! – I believe MJ even called Chris for his b-day one year.

    So it only shows their selfishness and lack of care for Michael. They don’t give a shit about MJ – none of them. All those lack luster comments on stage. Where were you motherfuckers before his death? Were you publicly showing your love for him then? No! I know CB and a few other artist CONSTANTLY mentioned MJ’s influence on them. Anyone who knew MJ knew he was a perfectionist and that show wouldn’t have cut it. No dancing at an MJ tribute?! Don’t give that 2 day crap either because clearly that show was a train wreck and only salted w/ MJ to boost the ratings.

    This man gave 40 years of excellence to us and you couldn’t give him five minutes of CB performing (something his family wanted)

    • kemi

      youre rght lady cb chris brown should have performed because he always mentioned mj as an influence even after the bad media and so did usher im not so sure about jamie foxx though i mean of all the people out there they chose JAMIE FOXX!!!!!
