The BET Awards has come and gone and it is certainly a night many will not forget!  2Face and D'banj made Nigeria proud by jointly winning the award for Best African Act.

Chris Brown

The show was hosted by comedian/actor Kevin Hart, who warned the celebs in attendance that nobody would be safe from his caustic barbs, such as Puffy, aka Swag, who was immediately teased about having so many nicknames. But some of the evening’s funniest moments came courtesy of presenters, such as when Taraji P. Henson claimed to have just received a photo of a teeny white penis from recently-disgraced New York Congressman Anthony Weiner.

An array of powerful musical performances by the likes of Jill Scott and Mary J. Blige were unfortunately overshadowed by a number of distracting glitches ranging from the bleeping of profanities by rappers to the TV screen freezing inexplicably. Perhaps the most embarrassing moment involved audience member Tiffany Green who ruined her 15 minutes of fame by announcing the wrong Viewer’s Choice Award-winner.

First she said it was “Chris Brown” and then “Rihanna” before somebody commandeered the microphone to call “Drake” to the stage. Oh, by the way, Drake was the wrong pick, too, and he later had to surrender the trophy to Brown who had been correct after all.

Another awkward moment involved Nicki Minaj who elicited a derisive laugh from the crowd when she feigned, “I can’t believe I won” for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, when it was obvious that she and everybody else already knew the outcome. By contrast, Willow and Jaden Smith seemed like the picture of innocence when they jointly accepted after tying in the Young Stars Award to the approval of their very proud parents.
