It was said to have originally been determined that Chris Brown, Usher, Neyo, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Dream would all be an active part of the Michael Jackson Tribute.

But the latest word is Chris Brown has been denied!!!! Word backstage from all the celebrities and producers is that Chris Brown and his handlers literally begged the BET execs to reconsider. Insiders say, “Michael Jackson is/was Chris’ idol and this tribute means the world to him.”

Head honchos fear a backlash if they allow Chris to perform since emotions are still so strong about the Rihanna assault incident. They don’t want Chris’ drama to overshadow the networks Michael Jackson tribute.

So we finally found out who stopped Chris Brown from performing. It was NOT Al Sharpton as rumored. Al even Tweeted that it wasn't him while he was at the awards show.

However, upon further research, it was found out that it was...Jay-Z. Yes, the man we call Hov. Crazy huh? How do I know? Let's check this out.

B. Shaw wrote on Twitter that Jay-Z basically stopped Chris Breezy from performing, saying, "Jay-Z is mad childish. Never keep a person from paying there respect."

He later Tweeted, "So Jay-Z tells BET that if chris performs that he will not perform. Ummmm........ Wait for it........WHO CARES!!!!!"

All I gotta say is, I thought last night was a BET presenation. Since when does an artist tell a TV station how to run their company?

Thoughts?
