Sunday's BET Awards may have scored its largest audience for the network, but the event's producers are coming under fire for a performance featuring Grammy winning rap star Lil Wayne.
The entertainer's set, which featured fellow rapper Drake and a troupe of teenage dancers, was met with criticism from Columbia University clinical instructor Dr. Janet Taylor, who questioned BET CEO Debra Lee for green lighting Lil Wayne's performance of his hit song "Every Girl" despite the risqué dance from the teens on stage.
"Perhaps, they are what our kids are used to. I have teenagers, girls no less, who have heard the song and like it," Taylor told MomLogic.com while referencing the song's lyrics. "My problem was with the preteens who were proudly onstage, shaking their groove thang to this misogynistic, disrespectful song. It was ridiculous. Debra Lee, the CEO of BET, also the mother of two children, should be asking herself who approved this and how these young girls were allowed to be a part of this 'act.'"
Taylor's comments come days after an emotional night at the BET Awards.
Nielsen Media Research shows the Jamie Foxx-hosted show, which was dedicated to the memory of music icon Michael Jackson, was a ratings success by drawing the cable channel's largest audience on record with an average of 10.65 million viewers.
As a result, the viewership of this year's BET Awards was more than any other cable broadcast this year and more than any prime-time show on the major networks.
Despite this, the scholar stated how her daughters thought the rapper's performance "'was strange' and inappropriate."
"They were embarrassed for the girls. I agree," Taylor added.
Representatives have not responded to the criticism as of press time.
i honestly think this situation will break wayne. I dont think his career will be over, but i do think he has lost alot of supporters due to the fact that this award show was a tribute to Michael Jackson, and not a "if i can fuck every girl in the world" dedication shot. Drake will end up being the biggest looser in this situation, because he is being ridiculed as well, and his song was cool, but drake has really failed for signing with wayne, i bet drakes wishes he could have waited a couple more weeks to decide on what label to go to. He should have went some where else, because wayne in the long run is going to destroy drakes potential, with his own ignorance. |

i hate to defend that junkie... but i just went to that momlogic.com site and right above that bet awrds article is a article on that super whore superhead... and the momlogic website is giving away free copies of superheads new book... so i hope tomorrow Dr. Janet Taylor writes about how she feels about being on the same website that promotes a total slore like superhead... also she can get her daughters views on the subject of their mother being a hypocrite... for criticizing BET about their content yet their own mother is assciated with a website promoting someone like superhead...
