BET Awards witch was hold on Tuesday was transformed into a circus by T-Pain
BET Awards witch was hold on Tuesday was transformed into a circus by T-Pain, while best-selling rapper Lil Wayne and songstress Alicia Keys gave rousing performances of their own, relates AP report.
According to the same source, T-Pain was nominated for five BET Awards, the star shared the stage with fellow nominees Flo Rida, Rick Ross, Ludacris and Big Boi, along with a bevy of big-top freaks, including fire eaters and acrobats. "This industry is my circus," said T-Pain. "Ride with the ringleader."
Usher opened the show pyrotechnics-filled performance as he sang "Love in this Club." The highly choreographed set, which featured Usher pop-locking, gyrating and grooving his way across the stage with a bevy of voluptuous dancers, gave the show a high-energy start.
"We're blessed to be in this man's presence," West said of T-Pain, whom he called "a genius." "I'll let y'all know because I'm one of the kings of this game. My opinion counts."
Kanye West, who won awards for best male hip-hop artist and best collaboration for his song with T-Pain, "Good Life," used his
victories to praise both T-Pain and Lil Wayne.
West called Lil Wayne "my fiercest competition." The New Orleans-based rapper last week sold 1 million copies of "Tha Carter III" for the year's best sales debut.
"You scared me man," West said. "Congratulations on selling over a million records. And they say hip hop is dead."
Diddy, Ludacris and the rest of the awards-show audience sang along as the 62-year-old Reverend Green shook his booty on stage.
