I would not want to be working at BET right now. Just hours before the live awards show tonight, Drake has pulled out of the show! Drizzy, who has 12 nominations, was not scheduled to perform but since BET is in such a scramble he might have been a surprise guest. Many even joked about how the awards should just be nicknamed the “Drake Awards” this year since he’s up for so many awards and nominated twice in some categories so it’s pretty strange that he isn’t going to be apart of things. Thus far there is no word as to why Drake pulled the plug on the award show or if he will change his mind and show up. Producers are said to be scrambling to attempt to get the show running smoothly before it’s 8pm kick off. Hopefully everything is alright on Drake’s end of things.

It seems that they show up for all of the other awards… American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, etc., but when it’s time to support Black Entertainment Television, they are no where to be found.
It’s sad, but it’s the TRUTH. They are no shows practically every year.
