Conspicuously absent from last weekend's BET Awards was Chris Brown, who recently went to court for charges related to his altercation with his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna. However, a source from inside the awards show claims that it was his own choice.
Word had spread that Al Sharpton and Jay-Z made sure that Brown would not be in attendance, but a spokesperson for BET said "the rumors are false."
Although Chris has not commented on why he was a no-show, he's been keeping a relatively low profile since his legal troubles began. It had been thought that the young singer might appear to pay tribute to the late Michael Jackson, but instead Brown released a statement in which he said, "I am devastated by this great loss, and I will continue to be humbled and inspired by his legacy."

I have alot more respect for Jay-Z as a man and a person if he did do this. Someone in the industry finally had the backbone and integrity to do the right thing and make a stand for ALL woman and girls who are beaten and verbally abused and doing either doesnt make you more of man it makes you an abuser. There is no excuse. Period.

Mavick says:
I don't care how much talent Mr. Chris have, he should be in jail for beaten up a woman, no one man, woman or child should be abuse. I agree with you Anon, That boy have no respect for anybody, he is arrogant & selfish son of a bitch.

I agree 100%. Chris Brown is skeezy as shit and does not deserve to be welcome with open arms after brutally beating a woman.
