Chris Brown was slated to beat up a chick perform at Sunday's BET Awards, but producers reportedly pulled him off the bill. After conversing with JAY-Z and Al Sharpton of course.
One source says Brown's absence came at the insistence of the Rev. Al Sharpton. "Al made such a fuss to the BET executives that they pulled Chris," says our insider, who adds that Jay-Z also had a hand in the decision. "Jay is a big name in the BET community, and he was very vocal about his displeasure with Chris attending the ceremony. He didn't want Chris anywhere near the awards so close to the court's ruling."
Brown isn't taking the public dis on the chin, either. "He's furious," a pal of the singer tells us. "BET asked him to perform and waited until the last minute to tell him it was off. He's pretty shocked and outraged right now."
Smart move fellas. Chris would have f-ed something up fo sho. Not to mention BET would basically have to change the name of the show to the Wife Beater Awards. Which would totally suck.
