(BlackMediaScoop) Singer Drake mysteriously pulled-out of the BET Awards on Sunday – despite having 12 nominations.
The 26-year-old Canadian star told producers that he would not appear at the event in Los Angeles at the last minute, sparking rumors that he did not want to run into controversial performer Chris Brown. A fight broke out between the pair at the W.i.P night club in Manhattan last year when bottles of alcohol were reportedly thrown around the venue.
‘Everything is in flux – the producers are all pulling their hair out,’ a source said. Drake and Breezy also got involved in a love spat over Rihanna who was romantically linked with the Canadian performer after she split with Chris. The bad blood between the pair allegedly started after Drake sent a message to Chris bragging that the had slept with Rihanna.
Drake took to Twitter to clear up the matter. He announced that his absence from the awards show was the result of him wanting to focus on his music and his family…
In the July edition of GQ Drake revealed how he would like to talk with Chris face to face to try and thrash out their differences. ‘I hear he has everything he could want now,’ Drake said referring to Chris’ relationships with Karreuche Tran and Rihanna. ‘I don’t want my name to be synonymous with that guy’s name. I really don’t. I wish we could sit down just like you and me are right now and talk it out man to man. But that’s not going to happen. ‘It’s embarrassing, the amount of media coverage … two rappers fighting over the woman. He’s not even a rapper, but still, it’s the last way you want your name out there. It distracts from the music. ‘But he’s made me the enemy, and that’s the way it’s gonna stay I guess.’
Earlier this year it seemed their feud was still very much alive when Drake was reportedly asked to leave a club in Hollywood because Rihanna and Chris brown were there.
And Drake went as far as to say he believed Rihanna’s safety was in danger following Brown’s 2009 assault on her. ‘If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot. Like I get a feeling it could end really badly,’ he said.
‘Like, it gets really dark.’
What do you think…why was Drake a no-show?
