Jul 1, 2013

This weekend was all about the 2013 BET Awards. Man, the ladies were on point tonight, all of them.

Bow Wow and Angela Simmons held it down during the pre-show, as Brandy, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Chris Tucker, and others slid through to talk. Ace Hood, A$AP Ferg, and French Montana got the crowd ready with their pre-show performances. At the show, Nicki Minaj turned heads for the reasons she turns heads.

Anybody who follows SKE Records and the interviews the whole fam does knows there is a lot of love for Kendrick Lamar, so shout out to him. Kendrick Lamar won both Best New Artist and Best Male Artist, that’s Rookie of the Year and MVP all in the same year.

All in all, the 2013 BET Awards came complete and all of the ladies were on point. Once again, shout out to Nicki Minaj, as she took home the Best Female Hip Hop Artist award. One more time, the ladies were on point, ever since seeing this, K. Michelle has been a favorite and she took home best hair at the awards show. The red carpet was live with Ciara, Nicki Minaj, K. Michelle, LaLa Anthony, and Meagan Good all out there driving the men crazy, nothing but love for all those ladies.

Definite highlights of the show came during the Charlie Wilson tribute with Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, and Justin Timberlake. In the end, this became the Pharrell show and there ain’t nothing wrong with that. “Feds Watching” is going to be the next big single of the year and expect more on that soon.
