While most of Black entertainment was on hand to pay to tribute to Michael Jackson at this weekend’s BET Awards, a rumor has been spreading that Rev. Al Sharpton kept Chris Brown from participating in any onstage tributes.

On June 22nd Brown plead guilty to one count of aggravated assault against his former girlfriend Rihanna, but is among many performers who owe their style to late Michael Jackson.

However, Rev. Al Sharpton denied having any hand in Chris Brown not performing:

<br />

Let’s just hope that Mr. Brown had some tact and decided to lay low of his own volition.

    so he says in writing “this is totally untrue and i didnt know” and you choose to post this story anyways? what kind of reporting do you call this? why dont you find some real news

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/iamsexychocolate/ iamsexychocolate

    I don’t know if it is true or not, but this is not the time to be trying to shut Chris down. That’s what happened to Michael, people judged him and shut him out instead of coming to his side to see what he was going through or how he was feeling. That is a big problem here in the US we build these entertainers up and when they make a mistake to show that they are human like us we tear them down. He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone. Why cant someone speak to this young man ecourage him help him through this so that he doesnt feel alone and abandonded like Michael.

    I whoelheartedly agree with you iamsexy…this is a time we need to embrace one another. Chris Brown made a mistake, one that many people have made. He should be encouraged not shut out or down. I personally don’t thin anyone could have paid a better tribute to Michael Jackson than Chris Brown.
    RIP Michael Jackson; may God keep the Jackson family during their life long journey coping with this huge loss…

    wat!!!..yes chris made his mistakes but paying tribute to the king of pop is when u gotta put yo issues to the side for a moment cuz chris brown is a r and b version og mj..well he had to pay his tributes from his sofa like da rest of us….r.i.p mj 1958-2009 we dont say our goodbyes these are our “see u laters”

    Jerry Barrow…you need to be ashamed of yourself for writing a story which you don’t even facts on to implicate the Rev. Al Sharpton. When does it stop with Chris Brown? I thought it was a female writer who still has a crush on him. Whether is true or not, it’s not about Chris Brown. There are plenty of artists who who can pay tribute to the king of pop, MJ.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NYCsmoove/ NYCsmoove

    I totally agree with FOO FOO…the article is lame. Couldn’t you find something positive to write about? You are part of the problem. I have a lot of respect for Rev. Al who is always on the forefront of any injustice done to the black community. He’s one of the few leaders we have left who will go all out…enough said!

    I DISAGREE WITH I AM SEXY A MAN WHO BEATS A WOMAN AINT S**T AND CHRIS BROWN NEEDS NOT TOO PARTICIPATE WITH A TRU ICON LIKE M JACKSON.SEXY U R SENDN OUT A WRONG MESSAGE TO YOUNG GIRLS U R SAYN LOOK IF HE BEATS U ITS OK TO TAKE HIM BACK IN TIME. THAT FOOL GOPT AND GETTN WHAT HE DESERVES SOON HE WILL BE CHRIS BROWN WHO?KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF A WOMAN POINT BLANK BOTTOM LINE

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    IamSexy..you should be more mindful of your words…You say you don’t know if the article is true, then you go on to write as if you think it is true..I agree with everything you have written though, but rags like the Urban Daily shouldn’t be fanning the flames of rumors by printing this garbage..Judging by past articles though, i wouldn’t expect any less of you.

    NOBODY IS PERFECT! NEITHER CHRIS BROWN NOR MICHAEL JACKSON HAVE CLEAN RECORDS. CHRIS BROWN IS A TRUE FAN OF MICHAEL JACKSON AND I THINK BET SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT THEY PUNKED OUT.. BUT TO BE HONEST IT WASN’T A SURPRISE! BOTH CHRIS BROWN AND RIHANNA WERE WRONG FOR GETTING PHYSICAL WITH EACH OHTER. i’M SURE WE ALL MISSED OUT B/C CHRIS WOULD HAVE KILLED IT!

    redmanjuice you can not say that I am condoning what Chris has done to Rhianna. Were you in the room/car with them when it happened? I do not agree with the way that he went about it, but at the same time none of us knows the full story. Help this young man so that it doesnt happen again. I was abused by my ex so I know first hand of how it feels. I had to literally escape to get away.He let me know that a restraining order was only a piece of paper and any time he wanted to get me he would. The police would not help me at the time. so I ended up taking my kids and moving to a different state. However, when I was able to I spoke to others that were going through what I had been through. I later on forgave my ex because I would never heal if I held that hate in my heart. I know that I am not perfect so how can I sit here all high and mighty and look down on others. You need to get out more and speak to people because not only the victim needs help but the person that is doing the hurt needs help as well. Its crazy because I look at how ppl ridiculed Michael for the allegations of what he allegedly did to kids, but now they have amnesia of how they turned their back on him. Most of the ppl that are mourning are the ones that contributed to his pain (emotional). You all judged him without knowing any facts except what the media put out. Question: Would you accept a bribe to not put a person behind bars that hurt your child? No amount of money of money could ever compare to the mental anguish that your child is going to feel going through life but these ppl put a price on their kids. Do any of us know the full story on any of those allegations? Not at all, but everyone jumped to their own conclusions. So, I stick to what I said before if Chris were shut out of the BET awards, he should not have been because most of those ppl sitting in the audience turned their back on Mike. They were probably afraid that Chris would have stolen the show because he comes closest to moving like Mike and these words came from Michael’s mouth at one of his concerts. Thank you and you be blessed!

    And if its true, who made him President of everything? I mean for real, i’m sure he has some skeletons in his closet. I don’t condone what Chris B did but you know its not going to stop Domestic Violence at all in this world. I agree, there is always two sides to the story. Rhi Rhi seems to have a little temper herself. And if for some reason she threw the first punch wtf? I had a guy friend whose girl used to always get up in his face, and pop him here and there and i have seen it first hand and honestly he never provoked anything with her. I couldn’t stand her and there were times i wished he just knocke her out…..and i know its wrong to think it but i had to seriously talk him out of dating her longer because i was afraid he would catch a case even if she was the one starting them~! so yes folks it can happen!

    okay im confused was it al sharpton or jay-z..they sure dont make reporters like they use too

    You know, the best way to remember Michael, take care of our kids, stop listening to the rumors the media put out there; they the one that drove Michael into hiding; even in death, he they still bring back the past. Michael is a unique singer, he’s very rare and you will not see another one like him. “Lets stop the hatred and come together as one!” When he died, part of me died too. I will miss those good old south side of Chicago days. Rest in peace Michael.

    Chris Brown is a young man with a clean record prior to the altercation with Rhianna. At his age the older generation of men should be embracing him and attempting to help him. We are quit to turn our backs on people when something goes wrong as we did Michael Jackson at one time. Those same people at the BET awards that felt Chris Brown should have not been there to perform should be ashame. If BET can give an award to a man that is currently spending time in jail (T.I)a man with a federal crimal record (Lil Wayne)and possible few other rappers (Jay Z) that have crimal records, why Chris Brown not welcome. I pray that this young man gets a chance to do what he does best and thats perform.

    we all have a past and chris brown should not have been shut out because of his actions
    you can tell by his dancing that michael jackson was a big influence, and he should have been able to honor his memory. jay z nor al sharpton’s opinions should not have mattered in this matter

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missbruce/ missbruce

    The bet awards would have been so much better with chris brown no one can do mike like chris brown people need to let this chris brown and rihanna things go it’s over I believe if mike had to pick one person to do him on the dance and singing tip it would be chris brown that would have been a moment in history. tell jay and b to mind their business and tend to their marriage
