The fact Sam smith one at the BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION AWARDS befuddles me. And we all knew Nicki was gonna win.
I was confused as hell. WTF did he deserve that award?? I actually thought it was a joke at first!
He deserved it tbh he makes the best music in the bunch
I was disappointed af!!! The fact that they even gave out phones to see who would receive the call only for Anthony Anderson to go up there and accept it on his behalf. I honestly felt bad for all the nominees that were in attendance that lost to someone who didn’t even bother to show up.
Bigots. ????
Talk about blatant racism. You do realize that Sam Smith touched and inspired more than just White people with his music right? Black people bought his record and fell in love with his voice which is why he won. Stop being salty because Onika’s irrelevance grows by the day.
SCREEEEAMING..LOLOLOLOLOL READ BISH READ!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!
Sam Smith made music that BLACK men have been making for YEARS not to mention his most popular song is a rip off of SOMEBODY else!
It’s upsetting to know R&B will only get awards and attention if a WHITE person is singing it!
Ciara slayed period
Yaasssssss!!!!! Bad boy is giving me my everlasting life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen!!
If they don’t hurry up wit this janet tribute….I’m getting sleepy…
Janet please!
????????????????????
you would sleep…Why doesn’t your girl show up there anymore?
She’s the only one that can save me from this sleep. Chile and now we have Rihanna. O god this shiit is boring.
Does she feel she isn’t one of us anymore? seriously…..if she wins something does she have to address us via Skype? it was a real question though, why doesn’t she show up? All stan wars aside…can anyone answer that?
Beyonce has been to more BET awards than any other celebrity of her status. Maybe she just doesn’t want to go, She has no music out and probably heard rihanna was going. I dunno
Did I miss something… ? “Centric… First network designed for black…. Women” So…. Why are men and white men at that nominated and winning??? I’m f*cking done with Bet.
…… This was supposed to be an independent comment….. mmmmm….
YESS to the Bad Boy performance! And shout out to Kim. She killed it and looked good..
They did and Kim got me hype!
Ok, the Bad Boy performance left me with half my scalp torn off, BUT THEN TORI KELLY came outta NO WHERE and f*ckin RIPPED the whole sh*t off!!!! YEEEEESSSSSS TORI KELLY!!! And y’all better get her f*ckin album that came out on the 23rd..
YAAASSAS BISH!!!
Lil kim killt it!!! YAAAASSSS BISH!!! Now lets c nicki…and im gonna judge fairly. If she hood ill say it
Nicki was supposed to go after queen kim but she had them switch it around i heard. 😐
Kim nailed that ish!!
YAAASSSSS!!!!!!
TORI KELLY!!! #TakesLastBreath
SHE IS VOCAL SLAYAGE!
HER ALBUM IS SO GOODT
Kim came out, pússy squatted and #POW popped right into a standing side hip-Pop combo. Girl you’d better give it to us, you did that
YAAASSS!!!! I AGREE NICKI SCARED HONEY!!!
I don’t think I’m gonna make it. ????????????. The only thing keeping me awake is the August memes.
The only thing I’m waiting for is Rihanna’s performance.
So far Bad boy was the standard for the night and Kim came and conquered.
TORI. MUH-FUKN KELLY! #SCALPED ????????????
Smokey Robinson just gave me pure life….beautiful, timeless songs! He fine too…still got it lol
Tori Kelly killed it!
I don’t get the Sam Smith hate. He is more talented and more successful than all the other nominations. Who else would win? Fetty Wap?
They’re not racist remember? They must have some other reason for hating on him.
Tinashe should of won because her album was better period
I disagree. I love Aquarius but I think Sam’s album was overall solid.
BOOOOOOO YO NICKI!!!! THAT SH!T WAS WHAVK!!!! LIL KIM LIL KIM!!!!! Nicki a loser!!
go away troll you so annoying.
LOLOLOL Y U MAD THO LOLOL!!! U mad nicki sucked mobey balls and Kim MERKED it biitch!! Kii lolol!!
Tiana looking like a young Rihanna on stage
Tori SHIIITS on that whiny mouse Ariana
Don’t be hateful. (Tho I low key agree)
I can’t with this victim cards being played. Stfu! “Your people” bought his music, “your people” voted for him to win. Please take several
You sound wholly ignorant as it makes it obvious that you don’t have the slightest clue what really goes on this world. Black artists very rarely get any shine, especially this year, on mainstream awards show. (i.e The VMA’s, AMA’s, Billboard) The BET Awards is our format where many artists may receive the recognition they deserve where they are often overlooked at most award shows. And Hell No we didn’t vote for Sam Smith A**. It was most likely bought by his label.
Who would go out of their way to buy a BET award though?
Sam didn’t deserve that award. Tinashe did this is a black award why give to a mainstream artist that is winning grammys tinashe could atleast get an ebt award.
I’m sure she can get an EBT award if she wants one, but apparently, BET thought Sam Smith deserved the BET award.
Monica f****** slayed her look!!!
Who?
Well look who’s back!!! That last dragging didn’t leave you skinless?
Who dragged me? I was partying this weekend. Hosted a trance party
djfjd @ it complaining about black people playing victim.
BET Awards are literally the only major awards platform for hip-hop/R&B and its on cable while Country music (where the only “big” black artist is Darius Rucker) has like 20 award shows on CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, etc.
Not to mention how black artists are pushed over to the “Urban” categories at the VMAs, AMAs, etc. and ESPECIALLY the Shammys (where 99% of the time they aren’t even televised)
What nonsense. Black people are not “pushed” into Urban categories. If they make urban music then that’s the category the get put into. If they make pop music then that’s the category they get put into. It’s not the Grammys fault that 90% of the music released by Black artists happens to be RnB and Hip-Hop/Rap.
Tinashe deserved that award im pissed
For once dare I say it I agree with Rosie.
Were Sams songs even urban hits? No shade
He can be called “blue eyed soul” I guess.
That Meek, Chris, and Nicki performance was weak and wack period.
I personally don’t care for sam smith or his disgusting song “money on my mind” but if the PEOPLE vote for him then it’s not his fault.
Don’t you have Dog or Cat meat to eat.
Yes. It tasted good. How about the albino you had for breakfast to make you fertile?
Lol Dumb b****, i’m not African/Black, and i’m not one of those fools who are killing those innocent people, i’m Hispanic you silly Rat eating f**.
Not a lanaholic talking about awards when a Grammy remains as elusive to its fave as her music to the charts
I’m not a racist at all but that’s it for me and Bet. I tried, but there is no way I will give this network any more of my time. There was no excuse for Sam Smith to have won that award, as if he didn’t sweep the Grammy’s and all other award shows that cater to white audiences. We barely win at their award shows so why no give it to someone else “Urban” and more deserving. They new to save that Janet tribute because I would have been turned the channel, smh!
He earned it tho
Guh please take your simple minded ass on somewhere and #WakeUp
*rolls eyes* ????
“Not racist” >proceeds to make a stupidly ignorant statement. Black people voted for Sam Smith. He didn’t force them to. “We barely win at their award shows” Sweety are you forgetting that Black people are 13% of the population? How many awards are they supposed to win? Look at the NBA and NFL, 90% Black athletes. You don’t see White people b1tching that they don’t have more representation.
@OMG, huh!! You could have saved those unsupported statistics. Drop a source or get lost b****!
The Bad Boy reunion was dope, Nicki and Meek are a cute couple. But I’m still waiting on the Janet tribute.
Sam Smith gave you a Soul/R&B influance pop album. Yes he won, deal with your fave on these DJ Musty beats the whole year.
I’m only here for Janet, Rihanna and Tin Tin, wish Bey was there also.
Didn’t mean to respond to your bitter ass, was supposed to be an independent comment.
And no one asked you who or what you were here for. And excuse me, but who are you? #PlaysOzzyPlaylist
Don’t worry about who I am, what you need to be worried about is your walls caving in from all that DL di’k.
It’s funny how people want to own a culture and keep it exclusive when culture is learned through observation within one’s society. Sociology101

People need to chill when their faves are wearing BlONDE, STRAIGHT wigs, bleaching their skin and touring everywhere EXCEPT Africa.
You sound like one of those ugly conservative Twitter accounts that get mad whenever black people drag someone for doing blackface. You do realize blonde AND straight hair isn’t exclusive to whites, right?
By the way Fad will never again receive a solo Grammy since his career is finished.
No bae, blackface is wrong. I’m not racist, I just don’t believe in hypocrisy. I am by no means conservative. If gaga wins a solo Grammy again or not is irrelevant because Lana has yet to hold one. At least Katy Perry got to hand one out
Blonde straight hair is most certainly exclusive to Whites. Let me guess you’re going to post a link to that tiny tiny tiny tiny island with a handful of Black people that got a gene mutation that caused their hair to grow fair and curly/straight? The only way for that gene to even appear is for a pair of those specific group of people to procreate. Citing them as evidence is like citing the blue skinned people as evidence of Blue skin being an actual race.
Damn girl you gave me life with all that truth in that tiny post!
Ayye! Shoutout to the HBCUs! I appreciate Tom Joyner’s efforts
Girl I done took several naps waiting for Ciara & Janet…..
Sam Smith has Grammys I highly doubt that bottom cares about a BET award. It should have went to Dej Loaf.
Dej who?
Dej Loaf? so Auto tune is making a comeback?
BET wants to be the VMAS so bad. Black entertainment my ass. The Sam guy shouldn’t have been nominated. Tinashe had the best r&b album of the last year and gets paid complete dust even by her own people. Im done with bet.
Its sad!
Girl where the hell is Janet so I can go to bed
Now you know they gone wait to the end.
Give me this damn janet tribute so I can never watch Bet again.
Rihanna will serve us a slay as usual
Bittch Where?
Anyway Bet is straight up ridiculous, really, Sam Smith, Tin Tin most definitely deserved it.
I agree that Tinashe should be recognized but it wouldn’t be right for her to win over Sam Smith just because of her skin color. Sam simply shouldn’t have been nominated.
Why? He makes soul/r&ab music and is recognized/heavily collaborated with legends such as Mary J. blige. If he was black that statement would have never came into your mind
It is called the Black Entertainment Television Awards.., Sam Smith makes solid music but the awards are about giving brown/black people shine.., Sam Smith isn’t black and white artists are not a fringe marginalised group therefore Sam Smith simply shouldn’t have been nominated.., because then what’s to stop Adele, Sam Smith, Taylor Smith feat. Kendrick, Ariana G and Jessie J from performing and sweeping the BET awards?
These dumb girls on here are sitting up here more concerned with the color of Sam Smiths skin instead of the fact that she sings her as of and makes decent music. I like Tinashe but her album and singles have not been as good as SAMs. Colors aside the truth is the truth.
OMFG TINASHE IS SERVING DOOOWWWNNNN!!!!!
She definitely did! She even had my abuela saying “WOW, THAT GIRL CAN DANCE lol”.
People who thinks a show is boring, yet STILL watches it amazes me with their stupidity.
Right!? It’s like people who say they hate the club but are there every weekend
Tinashe just murdered the stage
Pipe down boo
Yes lil kim come thru mama …..DRESS IN ALL BLACK LIKE THE OMEN
SHE IS THE BLUEPRINT!!!!!! I love Nicki too, but Kim did it first. ????????????
CIAR SNATCHED EVERYONES WIGS
Tinashe surprised the hell out of me.
CIARA JUST STOLE THE FUCKKINGG SHOW!!!!!
Tinashe did good! No more hate…. She couldnt keep that hot on, But lil girl did alright in my book
Hat*
Janet looks sooo good!!! Serving up looks as usual. Black don’t crack….. unless you do crack.
They gave Ciara a few more minutes to prove that she can moonwalk too.???????????? the tribute was cute. But Janet birthed them ho3s ????????
Ci proving a point here
I know my old friend FC got his life tonight.
I’m not gonna address the delusional Budets tonight. Let them keep this
Lol the tribute slayed boo you can’t deny that.
Ciara bish you better Eat it !!!!! Tinashe did her thing to don’t sleep…..
Lil Kim was the highlight of the night so far in my books.
Agreed… This was garbage
No Diddy falling through the stage was the best thing ever! LMFAO

https://twitter.com/JanetCIARA_/status/615372708352659456
Janet was like nah y’all going to have to come see me on tour if u want a performance. ????????
Lmao!
No surprise that my baby CiCi did her thang! They all dis great though…
Damn, i missed Janet so much! So glad she’s back! I also saw the love in everyone’s faces for her when she gave her speech. This is the best BET awards show in a long long time so far.
Tinashe looked just like Janet. Ciara up there dancing all fast and off beat. Girl Russell sees you so sit down.
Tamar cannot sing! I appreciate her tenacity, but she is no toni.
Omg K.Michelle’s thighs look so nasty. She does not need to dress like that????????????
YESSS PATTI BISH!
Come thru Miss Pattie. I live.
Jason derulo was not needed for that imo. Tinashe and Ciara SLAYED though. Congrats to Ms. Jackson on her award.
Awww your so sweet, I know u dont care for Janet. But thanks for being sweet!
Tamar, K and Patti were a mess with all that f****** screaming
The Janet tribute was good. Dead at everyone thinking she was about to perform though. She really did have it set up.
–
Muppet always looks a mess.
:in my Della Reese voice: GOT MY MOUTH ALL READY FOR A JANET PERFORMANCE AND AINY ONE TO BE FOUND ON HERE! That damn BadBoy tribute left SO much undone… I realize they didn’t have long… But DAMN… Faith was RIGHT there and didn’t come out and sing? No Total? Kim was up there and was the highlight for about 5 mins… Lackin
Gimmicki Garbaj was probably sucking Meek diick backstage. This b****** doesn’t even know why she’s on stage
WORK PATTI!!!! Push through!!!
You know you’re an icon when you can trend WORLDWIDE for just sitting in a chair. #Rihanna
I don’t care for this show this year, which is why I am not watching it, save for the Janet tribute. I noticed two things though after taking a glimpse,
‘
1. DEATH at Rihanna showing up after paying this show more dust than the hair follicles on Alopecia_hive’s bald spots
‘
2. DEATH at Rihanna duct taping Floyd Maryweather’s mouth, I cannot.
She was late for only coming to promote that Tidal Flop video… BET said b**** you get one minute, since you been payin us dust for years.
Im in Twitter Jail, so I guess ill be on here …..

Chawl This BBHMM Trailer was kinda cute, No T
I can honestly say I enjoyed this years BET Awards ! From Nicki to Chris to Meek Mill, Diddy really showed out lol and lil kim was turnt up!! ???????? ciara slayed the janet tribute !!
man it was just major slayage this year !!! Everybody did they thang !!!!
Death at this promo. The song is dead trash. Well… It’s for her fans. Enjoy.
SCREAMING @ Icki listing these platinum plaques but I was waiting for her to mention a platinum plaque for the díckprint though. ????????
I stayed on this horrible a** mess for a 1 minute trailer! That video looks crazy! Thursday cannot come soon enough.
MAN! BBHMM is my S***! I’m anxious to see the video !!
WHERE MY TRAP QUEENS
@Tyler @Elusive @Makavelli @SlayHive @Stephy @Erie
Aaaaaye!!!! Lol! CiCi did her thing yo!
Nobody seemed interested in that trash Trailer for BBHMM. Nobody gives a fück.
LIES You Tell! She is trending Worldwide! Stay mad and hate
Ciara WINS!
she did her thang !! I feel like Chris should of been apart of the tribute instead of jason derulo.
When Janet said there’s more to be done. It reminded me when MJ said “you haven’t seen nothing yet” at the AMAS in 2000. I hope nothing happens to Janet, cause comeback tour and almost at age 50 sounds way too familiar.
Omg, stop being so negative.
I’m black and do not care that a white man wins an award for a soul album..when did r&b and soul music became a black person’s music?
how are you going to call white people racist and yet your ass is being racist towards them
music has no color
I knew it, I KNEW it. Ciara was going to be sloppy and will lack that snap. I’m sorry, but Ci is nothing but a sloppy street dancer. Not hating, go look at Janet LIVE shows doing that same IF dance and come tell me the difference. I’ll answer, with Janet, everyone is in sync, Ciara was off count a bit and everyone were no in sync.
You might be a negative Nancy, but you’re speaking nothing but the truth.
I love Rih, but damn b**** u could have at least performed.
Omg !!!! Look at the theatrics in Bbhmm! You can tell the budget was nothing short of a couple mill. The storyline looks like it will be flawless. Oh noo! And just like that everyone else besides Nikki, rih, and Janet became irrelevant. Seriously check the top trends for the night! I dare you!!! Boop hoop! Be on vevo Thursday ! She announced via Instagram that vevo will have first dibs !!!
Let me go rewind this DVR and watch this Janet tribute again, and get my everlasting LIFE @ SLAYARA!
–
You can vote for you fav performance on Bet.com/LovinIt
Wish I thought of DVR. Lol.
Ciara was sloppy. Those arms everywhere and she lacked control.
the grammys doesnt care about black people….gee thats rich coming from beyondfake stans
when the bish has been nominated and won every year ..even when she didnt have an album out
black power and yet I didn’t see none of yall writing a petition when she stole the spotlight from ledisi at the grammys
talk that talk when yall don’t bash other black artist to uplift beyonce’s fake ass
But in my opinion though, no one WILL EVER Janet’s moves like Janet her self. But CiCi, Tinashe def paid homage in that performance. They all put their signature moves in it too which is another indication. It probably wouldn’t of been fitting for any other female in the industry to do it imo.
perform or do*
The real bad girl.

But yo, did yal see how Janet swagged her way over the stage Smh. (sigh) she don’t even try Smh. Love her.
Ciara was sloppy! tinashe was stiff. jason did the best. You can tell that y’all aren’t used to precise dancing and what it takes to execute moves properly. Janet needs to hit the stage at an award show because she will SHUT IT DOWN!
Girl…. Sloppy and Stiff is what yo daddy said about yo mommas fly trap!
WE ALL KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT CIARA, TAMAR, PATTI, KIM, AND ETC., BUT THESE LADIES SLAYED TO THE HIGHEST CLOUD IN HEAVEN AND BACK. I LOVE SEEING RIHANNA SHOW UP THERE. GOOD SHOW OVERALL.
I saw rih rih when she was singing to chris brown song..that’s so cute..they are going to get back together..they are both nuts..might as be nuts for each other….
so I finally saw the lil kim performance ..she killed it on stage…reminded everyone who the original black barbie is and always going to be
omg…..ciara killed it..i was not expecting that performance….the way she moved on the dance floor..she is giving me janets vibe
My baby was working it.
.#CICI
Nicki can jack how to rock a stage from Lil Kim. That was Queen Bee on that stage. Say what you want about her face, but only a few real rappers can rock a stage. Biggie tought her well.
I had a feeling Beyonce wasn’t going to show up after BET insulted her child.
Everybody did a awesome performance
Real….
I dont know why people hate ciara soo much, she is the only female artist in my opinion to do a proper tribute to janet anways yaw stop hatin.
you answered your own question no other performer comes close
Kim killed it in bout 20 seconds.better than Nicki whole boring performance. Queen 4eva.
Janelle Monae is hands down the most talented artist who performed at these awards.
Tamar sounded horrible and what was up with those deer in headlight faces she was making during her performance? K was alright but still mediocre. We all know Patti labelle can sing a stage down but even she sounded a bit off….I just feel like jazmine sullivan should have been on that stage with forever don’t last, it’s one of the best r&b/soul vocal performances of the year so far and she slays it live.
WOOOOOOOOOOOW! I knew Ciara was gonna do amazing but even still… my wig was NOT ready! she really went for blood! Tinashe is so s***. Jason Derulo is a great dancer… still not here for his music.
YASSS!!!! LIL KIM A.K.A THE ORIGINAL “QUEEN B” CAME THROUGH AND SHUT IT DOWN.I WAS NOT EVEN PREPARED, FOR THAT I KEEP TALKING BOUT IT.AND AS FAR AS NICKI CORRODED A** NEEDS TAKE A SEAT NOW AND LET THE REAL HANDLE BOSS MOVES. SHE ” MUST’VE FORGOT”(IN MY ROY JONES JR.VOICE) LMAO.HOWEVER, DON’T GET ME WRONG I LOVE K.MICHELLE BUT THE SHAPE IS GETTING FUNNIER AND FUNNIER LOOKING IF I MUST SAY HER,AND NICKI NEEDS TO CUT OUT THE B*** INJECTION PERIOD.THEY CAN BARELY MOVE AROUND.AND LAWD HAVE MERCY TAMAR WAS A MESS GOING IN TO HARD AND WINDED TOO!!!!
