BET Networks and Viacom have pressed pause on the BET Hip-Hop Awards and Soul Practice Awards. BET CEO Scott Mills said the group is “actively interested by the place these award reveals would possibly finest reside because the media local weather.” However three-time Hip-Hop Awards host Fats Joe claims the pause “is a type of gentrification.”
“Little by little over time, quietly they’ve been firing lots of people behind the scenes at BET and everyone who has one thing to say,” Joe continued. “And I do know ’trigger I’ve been engaged on the BET Hip-Hop Awards for 3 years. It was just like the price range, not for me, however the price range simply saved getting chopped and chopped and chopped.”
