I wouldn’t have apologized either if I was him.They are just songs and a performance it’s never that serious. Come on it’s Lil Wayne you are suppose to expect the unexpected from him. The little girls were cute. The just wanted to get their couple of minutes of fame and they got it. It’s all said and done so why say something about it now. Get over it. It was harmless.You don’t see his daughter or her friends on stage pregnant then it would have been a problem. You see little girls their age now-a-days havin kids.They was just havin fun.

Drake is trying too hard to be ghetto. Lil Wayne need to check himself.

By the way! Have you-all seen the Reggae Buss-MJ tribute video on youtube? a work of art.

OMG, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PPL. HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT WAS SONG ON STAGE. HAD IT BEEN YOUR LITTLE GIRL UP ON STAGE DANCING TO A RACY SONG LIKE THAT, YOU WOULD BE UPSET. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW IMMATURE YOU ALL ARE, IT IS A SHAME HOW AFTER ALL THE GREAT ARTIST LEAVES THIS EARTH, ONES THAT SANG GOOD, CLEAN SONGS, THIS NASTY MUSIC AND THE ARTIST THAT CREATED THEM WILL BE THE ONLY ONES THE THE YOUNG CHILDREN HAVE IN THIS TIME,THAT IS SCARY.

When I was younger (I’m a late 70s baby) BET was once a highly respected outlet for the African American community as a whole; they had a lot of up-to-date programming that was informative, creative & true to the game, while at the same time having a measure of not putting us in a bad light. (Read: Not having us looking like n*****s.) But now?! Hell, BET has fallen off so badly that I don’t even bother watching it anymore. It’s almost embarassing. Black Entertainment Television is more like Ignorance 101 these days. (And no, I’m not just talking about what College Hill’s ACTUAL SHOW TITLE should be.) With all the trash on the network now – I’m talking about the trash programming, the trash shows, the way the BET Awards have become trash, AND some of the pieces of TRASH that’s getting their own shows on BET (I’ll let y’all fill in those blanks) – I can’t tell if I’m watching BET or Bravo.

get over it they were not out there as part of the act they were out there as family and no doubt they listened to their songs. b.e.t. needs to get off their high horse hell they barely play a rap video. and i don’t hear them complaining on 106 and park when them lil girls be singing and dancing in their audience and swooning over every actor singer that comes out there…some people who don’t listen to rap or even watch bet need to go back to their opera or country and let b.e.t. do what it stands for entertain the black community

I was wondering why the kids on stage dancing like video girls. that is not an image that BET should not be showing. I am not a lil wayne fan but he should have had better judgement than that. It looked rediculous and classless considering the subject of the show. I used to atch BET but now i just can’t it still shows the same materialistic antics of rap and R&B. Well he is the biggest rapper out there so he can do what he wants.

I honestly feel that since QJ left BET is going down.I understand that change is good but I think there needs to be another one and fast…

I blame no one but the owner due to them being the top of the chain.

if elements of the performance were unplanned then BET has a long way to go on controlling their network. i dont buy that they hadn’t planned it. I dont think drake should have been the one to apologize… more so Lil Wayne… thinking he’s immortal and crap. Dont get me wrong i believe he’s a very successful artist but his morals and values are but a distant memory lost behind all the drugs, liquor, money and sex.

what people fail to realize is that BET is also owned my MTV and all of them lol so yea its going to suck….but anyways you spend money on a concert (leisure), shit is either going to go ur way or it isn’t…I’m not understanding the big fuss I dont understand the need to spend money to go see this person perform the same song on the radio, ur tv, ur cd, dvd, etc lol (concerts and ish like this are pointless) but if u want to spend your money then thats your fault….as far as drakes music video i am very mad that kanye would do this shit, 1 of the only people in the game now that has his own style and everything, people messing up his first video! poor drake, but w/e i still support him

This performance was done in Poor taste. BET should have known, and I am sure it was not a surprise to this dwindling network. At least Drake stepped up, all others are just fools.

Uhm, lets see. The white dude brought BET. This is what happens when we sell our TV network to a greedy white man. He doesn’t care. He just makes money off the “Hip Hop Buffoonery”. Wake up Black People.

The BET awards were flat out terrible…But they didn’t let me down…I mean seriously why are ppl so surprised by the lack of moral structure and celebrities…So, Lil’ Wayne performed a explicit crappie song and every word had to bleeped out…BIG DEAL…he is the hottest rapper out right now…BET would be fools not to showcase him…Nothing is going to change when it seems like its getting worse…The name of the game is ratings and BET scored…Not even a well written letter can change that…But hey what do I know I’m just a small city nobody from Nebraska

Where were all the checks and balances for the shows’ content? SOMEBODY approved and signed off on it! They’re making the artist a scapegoat since the show’s producer had to be the one to select and okay it with the artist’s management team. Drake has no power over what he records. He’s simply the guinea pig being pimped and paid to play you–the listener and music buying public!

Also, look at the even more sinister picture–the subliminal message contained within a heavy and catchy beat! AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases won’t go away…because it’s not supposed to! SEX SELLS and the sad casualty are our children and naive, young and quite misinformed adults…

The problem is…it’s the UNDER aged girls who know all the words to these deplorable songs and gyrate to them! These are the same girls we used to term “fast assed” back in the day and usually the one’s who end up either pregnant (w/several kids), drinking or drugging heavily and is generally of low self esteem because she thought sex equaled love.

Forget anger over a performance. There needs to be anger expressed at these record companies who purposely expose our youngster’s to this type of music…with permission. THAT’s where the power really lies!

What the hell! those girls hear those songs on the radio everyday!Hell Lil Wayne daughter probably was in the studio when he recorded the damn song.Who do you think the target audience for the song is? And um sure Drake dosen’t have a fan over 17.Don’t blame BET.Blame society as a whole because the people are who they cater to.

That was just terrible. it is horrible and very distrubing. To have his own child up there for a song like that. A very poor descision on BET for allowing to let this happen. It just goes to show you how screwed up this world is becoming….

BET does a poor job in everything they because they are trying to please the masses which is impossible to do. Unfortunately you have fools running the shows that let anything go especially when it is on BET because they expect black people to be ok with it. The awards were a mess. They could have a n appropriate tribute to MJ with the already scheduled performances. They let it get out of hand and it turned into a mess. I am sure Janet was mortified before she walked out onto that stage. Just another dissappointment that should have been a strong moment for BET. I never watch the BET awards for this simple reason, it’s always trashy, but I wanted to see how were they going pay tribute to MJ.
