2010 BET Awards Announcements

President of Programming and Executive Producer for the BET Awards Stephen Hill, left, posed with rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs as he announced the nominees and performers for the BET 2010 Awards today in NYC. The 2010 BET Awards air on June 27th. In accordance with a promise that I made last week, I have no further comment on this photo right here.

Rapper-turned-actress Queen Latifah and her longtime lover Jeanette Watkins bought a home together last year. I don’t know why anyone is surprised.

Dirty Money stood with their boss Sean Combs on the podium.

CivilEngineer

This was the best they could come up with??

Beyonce shouldn’t be on the list…they’re probably trying to give her a reason to come.

Can they announce the performances??
spongebobfan

Um WTF is ‘Centric’? why is beyonce nominated for a old album, didnt she win last yr? why is lil kim nominated for a BET award, for that matter why is rasheeda, they nominated Drake before and he has yet to drop a album so i know about nikki(she’ll win) wtf

The Actual CAPTION of the 1st PIC is:

Diddy whispering: So YOU still like Fruity-Pebbles Stephen ?!?

Stephen speaking VERY Lipsy: YESSSSSSS, I LUV Fruity-Peebles !!!
pointhimout

now riddle me this, BET. how the hell rasheeda get nominated and Kandi, who dropped a cd or ep or something dont get nominated at all? all rasheeda did the whole year was stand in as kandi’s shadow on everything SHE did, i.e. fly above, real housewife appearances, and that joint she did try it out (phuck with my pimpin). im so confused by this. try it out was hot. i dont like rap, so fa me to say it was hot says a lot (to me of course).

stephen hill and puff pic. too easy. stephen hill has pervert eyes, like he’ll be 60 y/o standing next to ripe legal male and playing in his boxers and drooling at the same time. i can’t.
