The 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards went down in Atlanta, GA Saturday (Oct 10). We hear Jay-Z and Young Jeezy opened the show in a big way with a surprise performance! Other tidbits from the show include the late DJ AM being the recipient of the “DJ of the Year” award, Kid & Play popping up during New Boyz‘ performance and Gucci Mane performing like 3 or 4 times. The show also featured performances from Soulja Boy, Ludacris, Jim Jones, Snoop Dogg and more.

The fattest cakes that you ever did see were hot and ready on the red carpet of the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta Saturday evening (Oct 10). Female rappers Nicki Minaj, Trina and Lola Monroe all walked that walk and showed off their beautiful (ass)ets to the cameras as they arrived at the annual event. Shout out to the homie FreddyO for the pics!
According to our boy FreddyO, Frankie just “found” 2 more of her children last week. We’re not entirely sure how you “lose” and “find” your own children, but with Frankie, this is a regular thing. Anyway, she was already a little emotional, so when she spoke to press on the red carpet of the BET Hip Hop Awards Saturday (Oct 10) in Atlanta, she got a little emotional when the subject turned to her daughter Keyshia Cole:
“She’s been taking care of me since [inaudible] don’t get it twisted. Matter of fact, she’s the reason why I got my esteem back and my hope. When I got out of prison, if it wasn’t for her, I would not be walking the red carpet. Shout out to God. My baby gave me so much encouragement, no matter how I look. ‘Mama you are beautiful. Mama you are fine.’”
Aww, how sweet! No comment on those platinum fronts though, we’re just glad we haven’t heard anything about Frankie wildin’ out at any of the weekend’s festivities. She hosted her own red carpet segment too, and we all know how that could have went!
Newlyweds Christina Milian and The Dream (and their un-born child) walked the red carpet of the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards, held this past Saturday (Oct 10) in Atlanta. Other couples on the red carpet were Mike Epps and his wife Michelle, Toya Carter and her boyfriend James Hardy, Fonzworth Bentley and his girlfriend Faune A. Chambers, and Lil Scrappy and his fiancee Diamond.
