R&B singer Usher, along with rapper Ludacris, hosted the 54th International Streetball Championships, which were held at George Carpentier stadium overseas in Paris, France Saturday (Jun 27).

If you were wondering where Usher was Sunday night during the BET Awards, he already had plans to be overseas this past weekend and was unable to catch a plane in time to make the show. His publicist released a statement, which includes Usher saying that he plans on working on some sort of tribute when he returns to the U.S.

Usher: “This loss has deeply saddened me, with a heavy heart I composed this statement. May God cover you Michael. We all lift your name up in prayer. I pray for the entire Jackson family particularly Michael’s mother and all his fans that loved him so much. I would not be the artist, performer, and philanthropist I am today without the influence of Michael. I have great admiration and respect for Him and I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to meet and perform with such a great entertainer In so many ways he transcended culture. He broke barriers, he changed radio formats! With music, he made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world. His legacy is unparalleled Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.”

Diddy: “Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!”

Ludacris: “If it were not for Michael Jackson I would not be where or who I am today. His Music and Legacy will live on Forever. Prayers to the fam. R.I.P.”

Gossip On This was on location Friday (May 29) night at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, SC at the Springfest 2009 concert. Atlanta rapper/Disturbing Tha Peace co-founder Ludacris was the headliner at the show and took the stage performing songs from his discography of seven hit albums. There were a few problems that went down backstage with the promoters of the show and Luda almost didn’t come out, but he’s all for the fans and did his thing on stage anyway! Luda has always been on our list of all-time favorite hip-hop artists and seeing him perform live, despite the drama with the show’s bootleg promotional team, just made him move up several pages in our book.

Myammee from Flavor of Love 3/I Love Money 2 was there and so were Kwiet Storm, signees on Usher’s mother’s label, JPat Records. Continue reading for more exclusive pics! And a big shout-out goes to JP (Luda’s assistant) and DTP for hooking us up. Much love to the DTP family from Gossip On This! Continue reading for more pics.

T.I., Young Jeezy, Lil Scrappy, and Ludacris (photographed from L to R above) were just a few of the names who took the stage Sunday night at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, and according to our boy Freddy O, “everybody that was anybody was in the building!” Other rappers who took the stage were Rick Ross and Shawty Lo.

T.I., brought out by Young Jeezy, was actually a surprise guest and wasn’t originally included in the line-up. Freddy said fans at the show were a little confused since T.I. was supposed to head to prison a couple of weeks back, but a quick Google search will let them know that ol’ Clifford has until May 6th to turn himself in. Ain’t the inna-net grate?!
