What Ever Happened To The Bet Award For Psquare,mi Etc by dacraziest: 5:22am On Jun 28, 2010
The pre BET SHOW kicked off live at 6pm(usa time), and then by 8pm the real show started,
Queen latifah killed it with her wears,her intro songs and swags,

Tyrese performed a tribute song to late Pendergrass,Chris brown cried while performing a special tribute for michael jackson, Pregnant alicia keys did some real nice performances.and she got best r/b award too(she was so hot in dem outfit)

Awards were given for various categories, and i had to wait up all night for  psquare award to come up. , and then all of a sudden,the show ended. Latifah gave the closing speech and that was it!!!,
no award was given for the best international act, no one even recognised their presence at the event, ( psquare,mi etc)
to think that i stayed up all night just to see dem psquare,

so so bad, am still wondering what went wrong

some of the winners included:
best hip hop female -Nicki minaj of young money
best male hip hop-Drake
best Collabo -Alicia/jay zee(empire state of mind)

Below are some pics from the award/after party, TREYSONGz and his beautiful young mum came up for his award,

I know Psquare attended but they didn't win. Some dude called dizzee rascal or something like that won. I just checked it out now, and I was shocked. The last time I voted, Psquare was ahead 31%, the next being 16% so I was shocked that they didn't win. Oh well. . .

That was the unofficial vote. I don't think it has a direct impact on whoever wins

My God. How ignorant can you Nigerians be? I mean really? If you don't know who Dizzie Rascal is, it shows how one dimensional and limited your musical taste or knowledge is. Google him. That's what it's there for. The question you should be asking is, who knows PSQuare in Yankee or outside Africa as for MI, please give me a break. Did you guys even see who the other nominees were? They didn't stand a chance.
As for the Voting, it clearly stated on the page, that these were UNOFFICIAL figures and that the only award being decided by voting was the Viewers Choice award. But my guess is, you retards didn't even bother reading.

Please i beg you, stop embarassing yourselves and other Nigerians with your obviously, i have no brain comments. Jeez

please tell them. . . .i didnt even bother commenting when people starting asking who is dizee rascal?. first off, the award was for 'best international act'. . . do you know  what that means?. . . if u do. . . . then how can you believe that MI deserved the award?. . . based on what song?. . . for your info. . . . . .  being popular from Jos to Lagos does not make u 'international'. . . . .  tongue.


Dizzy rascal has had five no.1 hits in the UK since September last year. . . he is also an independent artist.

we should be happy enough that MI and PSquare were recognised to be shortlisted. . .our time will come. . . .one day


ALSO. . . . BET are not stupid. . . if MI and Psqaure did well in the unofficial polls then they WILL take notice and other doors could open for them. . . . so it doesn't really matter that they didn't win

I don't think either M.I or P-square, but Dizzie Rascal isn't even the best in the UK.
He can't hold a mic next to Bashy/Giggs.

I think it should have gone to K'naan or Corrine Bailey Ray.

K'naan has had a good year, and has a big international single out,so maybe him. Corrine Bailey Ray hasn't really got anything out that's big right now. I'm actually pretty shocked SADE was overlooked. I mean, she's a big artist and her album did well, but i guess that's the biz. Congrats to Dizzie though. He does oyibo music now, but he's selling.

@ Audio, We're retarded for asking who the chap is? You done lost your damn mind!
Funny how people think their musical taste makes them more music-savvy than the next person. Who gives a funk what you listen to? Tsk.

Anyways, really don't care if P-square or M.I won. But someone supposedly did win for "International acts", which I definitely didn't catch on TV during the Award show, it's in order to ask who the person is.

Never said it made me more savy, if i don't know someone, i empower myself with knowledge before i start talking. That's why we have search engines. Dizzie Rascal a UK grime rapper turned mainstream won the award.

I KNOW DIZZIE RASCAL SO FAAKN WELL. TO ME, HE DOESN'T COME CLOSE K'NAAN AND CORRINE BAILEY RAE. Infact, M.I's MUSIC IS MORE APPEALING TO THE EARS THAN HIS. BUT CHECKING OUT THE STANDARD BET IS LOOKING FOR I THINK WHO SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE AWARD IS KNAAN. HE IS TH ONLY INTERNATIONAL ACT OVER THERE. HE'S GOT POSITIVE SALES IN BOTH AFRICA AND NORTH AMERICA (DON'T KNOW ABOUT ASIA).

DEFINITELY, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN K'NAAN.

If M.I's music is more appealling to the ears. . . .why hasn't he released his 'international' album? . . .  .

February 2009    -   http://www.ladybrilleblogazine.com/2009/02/mi-aka-hip-hop-messiah-uncut-ladybrille.html

LADYBRILLE.com: You will soon be releasing an album for the Western market and some people call you “Kanye West of the West” and even you have alluded to it in your lyrics, some say “Lil Wayne.” How do you intend to penetrate the Western market?
M.I.: [He laughs] Well for the Western market, I want to put my name out there because I believe it is an important statement to make for Africa, for Nigeria. I realize that I may not be the dude that will make it. I hope I am the guy and I hope I am someday at the Grammys and going up for an award. For now, I just want to put out the purest music I can and be good, like be very good. The “One” album I feel is better than Kanye West. It’s that good. . .I really think and work as hard as I can to let people know we can do it.

LADYBRILLE.com: Well I think with the way you flow, you CAN do it because you make people listen and that is power you have. Your voice is strong and more kudos to your brother because his beats are what brings everything together.
M.I.: Thank you. Thank you very much,

LADYBRILLE.com: So the album for the West is called what again?
M.I.: ‘One’ and I feel it is a fantastic album. Nobody has it yet but it will soon be released.

LADYBRILLE.com: Great. You will let us know when it drops?
M.I.: Of course I will. I have the perfect song for you.

LADYBRILLE.com: Cool. Just make it a Ladybrille song.
M.I.: It’s done. In fact, we are mixing it right now.



oh dear!!. . .  . undecided

Ahn ahn. Dizzie Rascal is more popular than you guys are making it sound. Who doesn't know Stand Up Tall, Jus a Rascal, Look Sharp among many other hits. Honestly, I wanted P-Square to win but deep in my mind I thought K'Naan was going to win. It's quite shocking tho that Rascal got the award
Re: What Ever Happened To The Bet Award For Psquare,mi Etc by Gabbyraze(m): 1:42pm On Jun 29, 2010

It's called International Artiste of THE YEAR.
This year, he's not done anything that can stand near K'naan, Corrine Bailey Rae, Sade or even P-Square.

No one actually does grime/garage anymore, it doesn't sell.
JME and Lethal Bizzle are cool, Tinchy Strider and Chimpmunk are officially mainstream hiphop now.

I was never really into grime anyways, it was way too trashy for me.

please go and re read the posts and work out who said what. . . . . r u referring to audio or rapjunkie?. . . .  for christsakes I AM NOT AUDIO!!

as regards appealing music = international album. . . . let me break down my point so u can understand. . . .  .


Bouzymill said MI's music is more appealing which in effect means that MI should have won the award. . . . . my point was. . .  . why did MI feel it was necessary to release a 'western' ( international)  album called 'one' ( which he never released)  if 'talk about it' was already of international standard?

do u understand that eldee?
