The Dirty Dirty: Did Chris Brown Threaten A BET Executive?

Two things Chris Brown knows is controversy and temper tantrums.  By now, I’m sure you either saw or heard about the Rihanna/Chris People’s Choice Award debacle at the BET Awards ’11, where fan presenter Tiffany Green first read Chris’ name off a tablet, but after being corrected by Terrence J from 106 & Park, Tiffany then announced RiRi’s name.  Later, host Kevin Hart said the award was actually supposed to go the Breezy, not RiRi!  Well, two insiders are claiming that BET only decided to give Chris the awards after he pitched a fit and threatened a BET executive.  One spy said “Chris was yelling and some of his goons were about to get it crackin’.  It was so ghetto, I thought it was going to be a riot.”  And yesterday, BET’s president, Stephen Hill, took blame for the confusion, tweeting, “That BET Award Viewer’s Choice mix-up was all due to human error.  And I was the human that made that error.  I apologize to all affected!”

Speaking of the BET Awards, check out all the interviews I did during the BET Awards ’11 weekend (Day 1,  Day 2, Rapid Fire interviews and photo galleries Day 1 and Day 2).

Jimmy Henchman’s Crew Is Snitching
Things are going from bad to worse for Jimmy Henchman, who has been connected to the 1994 shooting of 2 Pac.  He’s currently locked up on charges of operating a nationwide drug ring and an alleged member of his drug cartel is on the verge of snitching on him!  Word is, the snitch is working with prosecutors to get a reduction in the 10 year prison sentence he’s facing for his involvement in the drug ring.  But before the deal is finalized, Khalil Abdullah, must turn over $100,000 he stole from Jimmy’s cartel to the DEA.  All bad!
