Check out the Arrivals, backstage, and performance photos from the 2nd Annual BET Hip-Hop Awards. Since there is so much photography, I wanted to make sure to shout out each photographer here: Frank Mullen, Arnold Turner, and Ben Rose. Make sure to catch the award show when it airs on October 17th.
AUDIENCE, BACKSTAGE & PERFORMANCES
I truly think that Nelly & Ashanti make a perfect couple… Everyone looks nice…Also love the comment about Ashanti & Beyonce wearning the jeans and t-shirt thing. Leave Ciara along shes tryin’…U have to give it to her on her moves..”the girl can dance”… just look a lil bit mature at this event… Go Females and keep doing your thang…………….
CIARA looks great!
Ciara total look is sleek high fashion! BRUSH THE HATERS OFF.
Ughhhhhh! Damnit Ashanti….this was a damn award show not a night at the movies..girl try again. I understand that everyone that comes to these award shows come pretty casual now…but Ashanti is wearing a shirt that I have hanging up in my closet right now. If your going to come casual, then come casual with a twist. Don’t come to the award show looking like you are about to take your lil cousin who just came in from out of town to the amusement park..uggggh
what i love about these award shows is ma sistas showing some back. That is how a real woman should look, curves in all the right places baby! Makes a change from all these skinny artists photographed all the time
Ciara is laughing at Jermaine Dupri’s height..hahahahahahahahhahaha. She’s saying “you’re such a little man”. i’d be laughing too…hahahahahahaha. Is that nigga 4 feet tall?
and lmao@120….i knew i saw Ashanti’s shirt somewhere…. Delia’s. Shiit….the shirts are buy one get one half off…but those joints be expensive…t-shirts be like $26 and shit. I was mad when the store around my way ran out of the Run D.M.C. shirt. The white girls in Md. rock Ashanti’s shirt.
cici looks so cute. luv her
Ashanti and Nelly look soooo cute its not even funny. I love seeing them together. I think thats Ashanti’s real hair too. It looks cute.
ciara looks beautiful STOPPPPPPPP HATINNNN!!!!!!
Ashanti needs to stop shoppin’ at WAL’MART cuz dat outfit deez chicks b rockin’ at my high school
chain and all!!
kanye KILLS it
wow… people are such haters…… dang…. I aint mad at a person for shopping at a place i shop at because she rich…. you all just don’t get it… she is doing the 80′s thing, Nelly had a Bday party for her and they did the 80′s, 90′s Hip hop theme… i thought it was cute, look in that audience nobody is dressed up but Ciara and Debra Lee… DUH
Ashanti looks great and she dress accoding to the event and the shirt she has on I have it so what like someone said in the post thats good that celebrities rock the same thing we can afford just think about it everything u wear dont had a pricely tag right I hope not.
Keyshia Cole look like a two dollar ho.
Polow the Don looks stupid, but I know he was attempting the “classic hip hop look”.
Why is Cornel West at this? I guess he is trying to bridge the gap between academia and Hip Hop?
I like Ciara’s outfit on her. She kinda reminds me of Olivia(she wore her hair that color is a ponytail to the back with a black leather skirt/top # with jacket in one of those G-Unit videos)
I think Trina looks good. I like to see people covered up.
Didn’t know Bun B was married, his wife is pretty.
Yo-yo coulda did much better!
Something looks off about New-New…..I see the freckles but it isn’t that…something in the mouth area…….(puzzled)
Melyssa Ford looks great.
Keyshia’s outfit is hott but I don’t like her hair.
Tocarra is fierce! She’s lost weight nicely. So has Trina!
TOCORRA DRESS IS NICE BUT THEM SANTA ELF SHOES GOT TO GO ASAP
ASHANTI AND NELLY LOOK CUTE
LONDEN LOOK UNHAPPY WITH LIFE
KEISHA NO DRESSING COLES LOOK A FILTHY MESS
JT LOOK SHORTER THEN CEELO LOL
LUDA LOOKS NICE
BOOTSIE IS THE F ING MAN AND HIS WIFE IS CUTE
KANYE URKS ME
damn… i need to catch the repeat, i gotta work that night
Ciara looks like Janet Jackson.
This awards show doesnt look so exciting.
Looks like my man Common won an award and I guess he is going to perform Driving me Wild since he lookin all good in that white tux. Congrats Baby!
Wow…I don’t know what to say about that mess that is on Keyshia’s head! And what is going on with her elbows? Is it just me or does anyone else see that ash! Ciara looks cute…but um not feeling that hairstyle, or color. She should stick with the darker brown.
I love me some little men, like Lill Wayne, & Katt Williams,
but Jermaine is just to small , damn.
Trina looks a HAM. Her lacefront is a mess and I even though I can’t see the front of the dress it’s not a good look.
Keyshia is using too much bleach.
What’s with Lauren’s expression. I heard she was stuck-up. I hope not. She’s too pretty for that but she’s not famous enough for it either.
I don’t like Tocarra’s shoes with that dress. I like Ciara’s dress but I don’t like her hair.
YEEEAAA NO JAY-Z AND BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!
SHANTI LOOKS CUTE SO DOES NELLY
LOVE KEYSHIA’S HAIR…
ISN’T CICI A LIL’ TOO DRESSED UP FOR THIS EVENT?

IM REALLY GETTIN PISSED WITH ALL NEGATIVETY TOWARDS CICI, IF U DONT LIKE HER HAIR SO WHAT!
I attended the Hip Hop Awards over the weekend and was very disappointed in BET for having those young men present an award. I think that there lawyers and there parents should have known better. They are already going through enough craziness and living in a racist town! I think that the prosecution is going to use that against them and say that the boys aren’t remorseful what they have done and that they are trying to get fame off of it. BET should have waited until after there trial and then had them on!
Tocarra and Trina both are disappearing with the weight loss… Tocarra needs to nip/ tuck those twins and she’ll be tight!
Hill Harper lookin real Ne-Yo-ish…. Ne-Yo-ish = GAY
Lil Mama needs her ass whooped… EVERYTIME!
Polow SUCKS!
Lyfe is getting THICKUMS …. getting them John Legend-auntie thiighs!
Mims looks suspect
Cassidy looks just like every dude from Philly
Hurricane Chris needs his ass whooped with that same switch they use on Lil Mama
Mike Jones looks like his breath stink!
