It really doesnt matter if it was the rappers daughter’s or not: I damn sure wouldnt allow my daughter to dance to a sexualize song: Best I Ever Had

Though artist dont mine if there children heard or enjoy the music their parents make, doesnt make it right, their the same parents asking what went wrong with their children and why the children are so FAST in growing up……

I’m appalled that this is even a discussion..

The audacity to blame a network for featuring what’s playing on OUR RADIOS, what OUR kids, OUR people, are listening to.. And the worst part about it is that OUR people made it..

you are blatantly pointing the blame game in the wrong direction.

AND FOR every 10 people complaining about it there’s another 20 PEOPLE NOT DOING SHIT about it. so please.

let’s save the self righteousness for someone who will actually make a substantial difference..

AND no one is gonna bite the hand that’s feeding them. Yeah this generation is on a fast track to hell, but so are all the adults that are allowing them. We all know education combats ignorance, but nobody is taking time to them the lessons that will ultimately change their mindset. It’s gonna take more than seeing President Obama in office, they need to understand the struggle that got him there. Not Pres. Obama’s struggle, the blacks that got beaten and murdered on college steps so that we can attend now struggle, all the black parents and students that endured daily physical abuse so they could be intergrated into white school struggles, and how in the height of racism, Black People like Garrett A. Morgan was inventing the Gas Mask, and exploring the world like Estaban Dorantes, and curing children like Susan McKinney Steward. They need to know that they come from more than slaves and they are worth more than the industry is willing to pay for some trumpt up talent. They have to know that they really do come from Royalty, slavery wasn’t where we come from, it was how we were treated for a season. We throw all the cliche’s around but put no action behind them. The youth won’t know where they are going if they don’t know where they have been… who’s willing to show them????

For every person who is “outraged” at the Drake/Wayne performance, who will speak to Drake and Wayne letting them understand why it was “Kiddie Porn”. Nobody, know why? Because Wayne is a MILLIONAIRE

I think it was a subconscience decision. Truly, as parents – Lil wayne, Toya, Tiny, and the parents of the remaining children were not thinking of the image that could be portrayed by the girls’ joining them on stage for THAT particular song. It was more of a marketing strategy to promote the children’s group(as with Tiny’s daughter being shown in the studio on her new show with Toya). I don’t think it was their intention to associate the children to the song. They just weren’t thinking; it was ignorance. The song was very inappropriatto for the girls to be featured on it. I think they let them listen to Lil Wayne’s music and see nothing wrong with treating them maturely, like their friends moreso than kids. I disagree with that. I was a teen parent like Toya, Lil Wayne, and Tiny – but I was concerned about making that mistake and made it a point to try to be more mature than my years for my child. It may have been hard for them, growing up with their kids; while that doesn’t exscuse it, it may be a factor to why they weren’t mindful in this case. I just hope they realize their mistake and learn/grow from it.

Understand this lil wayne sang the CLEAN version of the song, “i wish i could love every girl in the world” which isn’t negative at all,clearly this world needs ALOT of love especially young black feamles. I mean his daughter was in the performance. How bad can the song (clean version) really be.Now dont get me wrong i agree that BET has had alot of changes and some not for the good of the network,yet i still wouldn’t go so far as to boycott it. It is a station named after my people and i know that we have enough pride not to shame its name so i don’t see the big issue about the performance.

That show was a ramshackle, hot mess. I’ve read Drake’s response to questions asking why that was done, and while I felt the explanation was sufficient, the fact that it was allowed shows the extent to which poor judgement and BET are affiliated.

I didn’t want to watch the award show and never will again.

I’m tired of the MJJ remarks by ppl! The man was never convicted of any wrongdoing! I swear that most of the people that tend to make biased remarks such as the one stated above are usually victims of abuse unwilling to believe that people can be innocent…get with the facts.

Anyway, Lil’ Wayne and Drake should of been cut from the show. They were a complete embarrassment to me as a black person. It’s a tribute showcase…edit your lyrics!!! No one is purchasing tickets to see you specifically, so censor yourself for the public. Then, they had the nerve to say R.I.P. to MJ as if Michael had anything to do with the monstrosity they put forth on that stage. I don’t watch BET, but the audience for this show was wider than the normal demographics being that it was SUPPOSED to be a tribute showcase that was advertised on almost every major news channel. What a disgrace! I definitely don’t get their appeal and I’m only 20-years-old.
