BET Hip-Hop Awards: T.I. Gets Arrested, Leads Awards With Common & Kanye West
by admin ·
The biggest news from the weekend’s activities during the taping of the BET Hip-Hop Awards had nothing to do with music (shocker). ATL rapper T.I. was arrested on Saturday, mere hours before his scheduled performance for the show.
According to the Associated Press, federal officials said T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) paid his bodyguard to buy weapons such as machine guns and silencers for him.
Must have been one hell of a performance he had planned.
Taped at the Atlanta Civic Center, the show shut down several major streets. Performances were offered by the likes of Common, Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Nelly, Wyclef Jean, Kanye West and more.
Common performed his hit “Driving Me Wild” and along with West, who performed “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,†and the now incarcerated T.I., copped the most awards for the night.
Common won Lyricist of the Year, while his latest disc, Finding Forever, tied with T.I. for CD of the Year. He gave a shout out to T.I. in his acceptance speech, saying, “I salute my guy T.I., who also won, wherever he is.”
West won Best Live Performance and Best Hip-Hop Video for “Stronger,” and in an uncharacteristically gracious tone said of Outkast: “I didn’t deserve this award above them. They do instead of me.”
The 2nd Annual BET Hip-Hop Awards will air Oct. 17.
