Drake Blames MJ For BET Performance Mishap

    Ever since he performed at the BET Awards with Lil Wayne & Young Money, Drake (along with BET) has been getting a lot of negative feedback. Performing "Every Girl," a song about escapades with multiple girls around the world, Drake appeared with under age girls on stage. [watch here]

    Drake says their performance was effected by the last minute changes due to the death of Michael Jackson. [watch here] "That, actually -- to be honest -- was a terrible idea that I'll never do to myself again," he said recently. [watch here] "But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes. I don't think it called for us to perform "Every Girl" and "Always Strapped," and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-n-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne's daughters and her friends coming out on stage -- it was just timed very poorly and it definitely wasn't planned like that, but with that being said, it is what is. I believe in Wayne and myself and it's nothing we can't bounce back from. To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn't intended to offend anybody." [watch here]
