On Sunday night, Tiffany Greene, an excited Nicki Minaj fan had the opportunity to announce and present the winner of the BET Award’s Coca Cola Viewer’s Choice award. Unfortunately, some technical mistakes (on BET’s end) were made and the winners were mixed up (VIEW VIDEO).
Initially, Tiffany announced Chris Brown as the winner, then corrected herself by declaring Rihanna & Drake as the real winners. Drake came to the mic to accept the award and even spoke on how awkward the situation was. However, at the end of the show, BET announced that Brown was in fact the real winner. Confusing right?
Meanwhile, Tiffany became the top trending topic of the night and some tweeters were bombarding her with some hateful messages. She took to her twitter page and said:
Shortly after, Vice president of programming Stephen Hill took to his twitter and admitted the mistake was all his.
Either way the incident was awkward and BET should be ashamed of themselves for setting up poor Ms. Greene like that. Time to step your game up BET, it’s getting old & tired.
Anyway check a photo of Tiffany arriving to the show below..
I don’t know that much about BET living in England but why would BET gain from “setting up” Tiffany??
Publicity..
Exactly *ANGEL publicity . . . Illuminati. . all of that, it was all done on purpose, for a much deeper meaning none of us will truly know. smh they wont leave Chris alone, even after 2 years, they are never gonna leave him alone.
Publicity. MTV, VH1, BET awards, it’s all crap now. I feel sorry that she had to go through all that…
It was a fake publicity stunt
It was fake stunt bc BET is trying to compete with MTV. MTV does these fake screwups every show to keep viewers watching each year & BET needed something & always copies to upgrade their show. They told Tiffany to do it & Terrance & Rocsi were in on it. Trust me, I know. LAME & bad acting.
Honestly QWAR I think it was an honest mistake, I dont think it had much deeper meaning than that. It wasn’t Tiffany’s fault nor do I think she was set up.
I cannot feel any remorse for any creature dumb enough to be a “fan” (congregant) of “Nicki Minaj” lol. This was a ritual, and it was played out on probably the only buffoon that isn’t an initiated witch within the whole theatre, that being “Tiffany Greene”. The event was purposefully held on “6/26″, which is code for “666″, so one can expect all types of normal Luciferian hijinks lol. There is clearly something that this young man, Chris Brown, will not do….or maybe he is still in the midst of his Horus ritual. Whatever the issue is, he has become the whipping boy of the entertainment industry.
I think the young lady (Tiffany Green) showed more professionalism in her 15 seconds of fame than the BET network showed in the entire 2 hrs the show was on! I grew up with BET and the network is becoming less and less entertaining. The performances looked as though they were thrown together and the tribute to Patti Labelle was RiDAMDICULOUS! 5 decades and you have C-Lo to honor her? The cursing and clowning during the performance was classless! To honor a class act? I think the entire network needs revamping!!! Keep your head uo Tiffany had they not annouced who you were I would have thought you were an up and coming act. You held your own and did very well despite the mistakes of the network! Good job!!!
@Judah- Maybe get on his knees and/or bend over for those top execs. He does not strike me as a homosexual in the least. However, if he keeps his team & circle, it may soon happen bc clearly they do not care for him. He should just quit while he is ahead and return to normal life in VA.
Ratings. People love a train wreck and that one was just a little too coincidental. SMH
I felt sorry for her..byut after i saw her twitter..all her posts..EVEN ..BEFORE the BET awards…its KARMA !! And she wants to be in this industry…just by the way she reacted who would want to sign her or work with her..its one thing to be good on camera and another to act all ”ghetto”..i understand..she was mad but she went hard on it..it can happen to anyone..
Rihanna ,indeed, Won that award. She beat CB by 5,000 votes.
That is why “Whats My Name” was played and Drake was already backstage to accept .
BET is dick riding and the show was HORRIBLE. They’re wrong for doing Rih like that…
Oh my gosh your so right. lmao drake popped outta no where like he was ready to accept that ish & What’s my name was already playing & what not. BET is officially a joke. I knew once Mary started the show. she was wack. chris was wack. Beyonce knew it was wack. Kanye was available he just don’t fuck with BET so he didn`t show up..WHY !? cuss it was WACK !
WRONG. Chris won. It was even on there site before it was announced!
U r a Silly Girl!!!
-
Chris Won, im sorry she didn’t turn the tablet for us to see it!
What are you saying…They are the one who put the song..they can put any songg backstage loll..The winner was Breezyy it was even posted on BET before the show started.
Damn BET needs to be ashamed of themselves for playin with somethin so sensitive just to kill the blogs the next day. This might be the first time ive ever seen twitter come in handy.Whats funny tho is i was really thinkin damn this was a smooth runnin show, unlike the rest. No cryin, no over excited people, no surprises….i guess they werent havent that after all.
it was definately meant to be rihanna’s award, otherwise why would drake come on stage so quickly and to save face they announce chris brown as the winner…BET awards is jus a loada garbage…not that either of them deserved the award anyway
Drake was backstage because he was scheduled to perform next. I do believe BET was wrong by anouncing Chris Brown the winner.. Poor Tiffany
the votes hit the internet before they she read them out. so clearly it was CB award. Drake wasn’t even that far away.
BET rigged it.. Rihanna won the award because the had the most votes.. BET, however gave the award to Chris Brown to kiss his ass.. They know they are wrong for that and if I was Drake or Rihanna I would be pissed off. I mean how do you make the kind of mistake. The award show is rigged…
The black community who are the only ones who watch BET like Chris Brown more then Rihanna bc he is a better artist and bc it was Chris’ year this year. No Rihanna song can surpass Deuces. That song was and still is HOT!
This is coming from a Chris Brown fan.. Idc what anyone says because I honestly don’t care for either one of them personally.. Do they make good music hell yes but Rihanna and Drake won that award hands down.. It makes sense to me, the only award people actually vote on and Rihanna’s name flashes everywhere and her music is the one being played.. BET is scandalous
In my opinion the whole crew at BET should be fired!!!! This is why I don’t watch BET channel in the 1st place B/c of this type of fvck3ry! I only watched it to c my girl Bey! But I shoulde just watched her performance online cuz something told me since she wasn’t gonna be there not to watch it! Then I knew Kevin hart was gonna b funny those were the only 2 TRUE reasons I watched. Next year I will NOT be supporting BET and their ghetto anticts. U DON’T C SH!T LIKE THAT HAPPENING ON THE MTV AWARDS!! why?! Because those white folks make sure they have there ish on point! n they start and are DONE on time!!!!! N I heard that MTV n BET have the same owners (or whatever) that’s why there is cross advertising sometimes blah blah. MY POINT IS BET NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ERROR! next year I promise! Unless MICHAEL JACKSON IS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD N PERFORMS I AM NOT WATCHIN BET AWARDS! I can’t…..That girl Tiffany is was NOT Her job to be a presenter she is merely a fan n people should NOT have been rude to her on twitter all she was doing was reading whatever….I can clearly go on and on about BET, but I won’t I’m goin 2 bed now! GN CL
I totally agree with you. How come our stuff has to be 2nd and 3rd rate? Black folks are more involved in getting their swag on. And the most ridiculous thing was those two Smith kids tyeing for the award. How bullshit was that? Just to please people and make things superficially right. Absolutely no professionalism!
On a more positive note CENTRIC tv, a vastly more professional and entertaining offshoot of BET is actually godd.
I’m sayin the chick coulda said what she said on her twitter wit a lil bit of class goodness… she comin off as ghetto! See this is where you could learn a thing or two from Taylor Swift!..huh!
She was responding to the people who were sending her hate mail. She was understandably pissed off. I did’nt know you have to be politically correct on twitter all of a sudden.
I didnt kno I was I talkin to you fat boy!.. And further more twitter so unofficially a public statement, that’s why the ppl with careers always get backlashed and judged everything they say something out of line. And one more thing chubby, when I want your opinion I’ll probably give it to you first!…….. That’s all!
Why are you disrespecting Rich like that Tino. This IS a public forum so he has the right to respond to your comment. He didn’t even say anything bad about you!
Fat boy? that’s your best insult -_-. How old are you? Yea that’s real classy.
bytch STFU. she was pissed off! nobody EVER says anything “classy” on twitter because twitter is not classy! why you think that douchebag chris brown is always on there?
The crazy thing is, this year was actually pretty decent compared to past shows, they didn’t even need this pull this stunt!!! SMH @ BET!!! WILL THEY EVER LEARN?!?
I’m sure Rihanna won. She has a much LARGER fanbase than CB and she sells more records. I would never pay to see RiRi live but this girl had some great records this year. BET is WRONG for stealing her award and giving it to CB just because Mr. Hill “likes” CB.
This is not about who got the larger fan base or is more successful, this about whose fan base is willing to vote at BET! Rihanna is larger overseas! in ths US, Chris Brown is a major force, and we talkin about BET, I doubt Rihanna fans who are in majority white people who love her pop, dance records, spend time on BET!
when was the last time rih went to the BET awards. U know she caters to the white crowd.She ain’t universal. lmao U gotta be kidding me…. You seen the capacity of TeanBreezy ! RihNavy aint got shi
Rihanna has to cancel concert dates because of low ticket sells but she has a bigger fan base!!?? What? I need some clarification….
@B-EASY Uhm it is possible for an artist to be huge and have a huge fan base and not sell tickets to their concerts. Britney Spears has a bigger fan base than both Chris and Rihanna and she cant even sell out her concerts anymore or sell tickets at full price. So what more do you need clarified?
@UK Rihanna is way more International than Chris
BET AWARDS IS THE ONLY AWARD SHOW THAT WILL CONSISTENTLY KISS CHRIS BROWNS ASS!
LMAO. #wpicfail BET. They set that mess up plain and simple.
*epicfail
BET better GET right…I mean seriously what kind of wack crap ass publicity stunt is that…they just made themselves look worse…I stopped watching that channel long ago, bunch of crack addict losers running that channel…SMH
BET and their ratchet programming.
First of all… The lil girl DID NOT follow directions. The winner was on the Tablet and the nominees was on the teleprompter. When she was reading the teleprompter, the nominees were scrolling and she was NOT paying attention. ANY WHO… She didn’t want Chris Brown to win anyways… check her Twitter. She probably sabotaged him (or tried to) on purpose. She is not that innocent. All that slick talking she was doing blew up in her face.
Naw, the teleprompter said Rihanna and Drake were the winners.. Thats why her music was playing in the backfround and her name was flashing on stage
Dang @ Hey…you sound like you know her personally. What she do to you? Tell us why you mad…..
as always trying to take Chris’ shine. 5 awards UH HUH! lmfao
the haters can justify it as much as you like til the cow come home. She is cleary a Nicki Minaj stan so she mad and couldn’t take it with a pinch of salt. I use to follow her on twitter and she mentioned a few weeks back if chris won there would be ”rude awakening from”… she cleary isn’t the brightest bulb is she. read the tablet dumbo. smh
chris won the award and it was clarified on the webisite, it just came to be a different story on screen. so haters stay mad
She shouldn’t have even gotten the opporturnity to present the award. You can’t trust anybody on live television. Everybody’s feen for their #15mins. and she clearly wanted it.Couldn’t even handle that right. smdh
What would you want her to do.. She announced Chris Brown the winner and then what.. an awkard silence.. Then she announces Rihanna and Drake the winner and ‘Whats My Name’ gets played and her and Drakes name is flashing in the background.. You can’t blame Tiffany at all!
Clearly you didn’t read what was written above.
She didn’t do it on purpose.
…all I can do is shake my head and this foolishness. To me it appears that the award show is rigged. This is the only award given out that is voted on by the viewers. BET kissed ass and gave it to Chris Brown even though Rihanna and Drake had the most votes. We all know Rihanna has a larger fan base than Chris Brown even though he is highly favored here in the United States. BET needs to do an open apology to Tiffany Green if they haven’t done so already. She received a lot of hate on twitter for the BET “mix up” hell, give her a 2012 Ford Focus.. and people wonder what they call this award show the “EBT Awards”
you keep saying that Rih had the most votes. Unless you work for EBT, there is no way you can know that for a fact. So please spare us with your delusional illusions of grandeur that the howling billy goat got robbed.
It was a mistake…it wasn’t that serious.
I found it odd that Terrance or Rosci didn’t step in when the girl was clearly looking confused before she even said anything.
Me too, It’s a damn shame that BET had to pull some mess like that.
First off, if she wasn’t winking and blowing kisses at Nikki Minaj, then she may have been able to concentrate. But, I’m not blaming her for BET’s raggedy behinds. I don’t know whose fault it was or is, but I didn’t like how Terrance J responded. He made an already awkard moment even more embarrassing. He’s so WACK!
Lol at people taking this so seriously .. wow.
I was thinkin’ “Girl, you shouldn’t be playin’ around like that” – I thought she did it on purpose but she also did look confused.
Personally, I think that it was a honest mistake, not a big deal at all. Why would B.E.T purposely have that happen, especially when that was the best awards show that they have had in a very long time. Im gonna continue to support B.E.T. it was not that serious, mistakes happens all the time, almost daily, even on our local news. Very childish for someone to think that Tiffany was set up, for what? and Why?
Hey, go to her twitter page and read her tweets from 6/20. She planned to do something crazy if Chris Brown won all along! This is all a thirsty stunt!
Okay so human error, then Why the hell did “What’s My Name” play, why would they allow Drake to come on stage, hand him the award and allow him to proceed in accepting it. If Chris Brown was the actual winner, he should of been stopped, “Whats My Name” should of never been played, and Rihanna’s name should of never went up on the screen behind them. Someone has to do all of that, play the song, deliver the name on the screen, etc. I think the entire situation was planned.
If you look at it you see that the teleprompter and pad did not match… so they went with the teleprompter… Why would they stop him in the middle of the speech.. thats even more confusing…..and they were confused on who had won thats why Rihanna’s name was on the stage because the second name called was Rihanna… what was the producer supposed to do run on stage and bring even more confusion…. NO!!Its crazy to think it was planned why would they plan something like that… The BET Awards is a veteran in the game why would they invest all their time into embarassing a “nobody” if anything it would be someone who had rank!

This was so stupid and just a minor mistake, but it makes BET look so bad! They got this story headlining on my yahoo homepage! WTF? I would think that Chris was the actual winnder because he
actually has TALENT, and his album is selling very well in the states. It was just very weird and embarassing for her and for Drake and Chris. LOL at Drake’s face when he was giving his speech. He was like uhhhh.
I Believe part of the confusion is that BET was running WAY behind schedule!! The show ended 30 mins later than it was supposed to and they didn’t even give out a handful of the awards that were suppose to be televised awards (such as Video of the year, and Best Female r and b) I believe that the mix up came because the show was running so far behind that no one knew what award they were moving on to, Rihanna won the award for the best female R &B my guess is there was some mix up between in the order they were giving out awards. It was not the young ladies fault, it’s the fault of BET for not being well rehearsed and being unorganized. There is no reason that the show should have been 30 mins behind, awards got cut, peoples performance times where cut, BET was just very unrehearsed do better BET things like this should not happen it makes all involved look foolish
The girl did it on purpose. Just read her twitter page. She seriously has issues with CB.
…I honestly believe it was done on purpose. Not at the benefit of BET but for Tiffany Green. She’s an upcoming rapper too, not just a fan. Now, everyone googling her is going to hear her music and she’ll get signed shortly. Marketing 101… she was the #1 Trending Topic worldwide and is still in the top 10 today. They did what they needed to do. Everyone is talking about her and wanting to know who she is. Keep it up!
Cheers to marketing!!! Get it in girl!!!
If this was the case then Kudos to her.. Way to get people talking about you! ..Stephen Hill took to twitter and said it was an error on behalf of BET sooo umm yea.
The give away was the look of confusion on her face … if it’s a surprise as to who the winner is, then why did she look confused as though she expected it to be someone else’s name that popped up on the screen? At the end of the day, BET Awards shows leave A LOT to be desired … and it’s past th point of making excuses for them now. They’ve been doing this long enough to know what it takes to put together a proper, worthwhile show.
Whatever happened it was disrespectful to both artist. BET should be ashamed of themselves for that. Just tacky, pathetic and unnecessary.
It was Rihanna’s music that was prepped with Drake ready to accept. The winner became Chris when BET tried to correct the damage and embarrassment they caused.
If they were trying to correct the problem… Dont you think they would have left it with Rihanna and Drake since he did accept it!! Makes more sense
This was a BIG publicity stunt…Tiffany and BET knew what was going on (TRUST THAT), she’s an up and coming rapper who needed publicity!
Just finding out that this was actually all on BET, I was actually thinking that girl was just being smart.* Damn, can’t believe BET would go that far deep. I feel sorry for that girl now. Hmmm, when are they gonna have a TV One Awards? They have more class to me.
BET has been in FAIL mode ever since that crackhead cow took over as CEO…I don’t support BET any longer and I won’t as long as her flat faced ass is runnin’ thangs. Remove and replace and watch BET change for the better…
Yall forreal what imma do if CB wins that Viewer’s Choice Award? I’m not good @ hidin’ my emotions so maaaaaan….smh.
10:02 PM Jun 20th via web
Aye if you followin’ me & don’t wanna see me & Chris Brown in a fist fight @ the BET Awards, text 4 to 79922. Do it niggas. -_-
Those are her tweets! MMM it wasnt all BET’s phuck up! She knew what she was doing. I am soo tired of ppl giving CB a hard time he paid his debt for his mistake move on and enjoy his music! Its crazy how ppl gang up on him but yall support JayZ( who has a video of him mushing a woman in her face) Gucci ( Who threw a chick from a moving car) Rkelly( hell You’ll know what he did) It’s many more entertainers you’ll support but I dont see anything about that on blogs! LEAVE CRHIS ALONE!!!!!
Why are people acting like this is watergate? LOL
Tiffany Green is feeling so much better after last night’s awkward presentation at the BET Awards, check here http://celebritydaily.net/?p=428
Only this could happen at the Fucking BET Awards. Stephen Hill was too busy licking Debra Lees pussy he missed his human error that HE made.
That fact that Willow and Jaden Smith “tied” and shared the win in their category is proof enough that BET awards are not based on votes. Ernst and Young were clearly not on the payroll! I have never seen anything the likes of what went on when that poor child announced the winner and non-winner of the so-called people’s choice award. I still don’t know who one and don’t really care!
LOL, that’s what she gets for being a nicki minaj fan. brainless, just like nicki LOL
She did it probably for publicity herself since she an up in coming rapper
chris brtown fans need to embrace reality. Rihanna & drake won that award. they got the most votes, point blank. chris brown’s management has BET in their pocket as part of their “salvage chris brown’s career” game plan. same with the best R&B make award. how did he win that when Usher’s album sold WAY more and had WAY more hits, while chris has yet to go platinum?
Chris Brown has earned his way back up the charts… His songs are making good stats on BET and off!! Why would BET kiss CB ass when he the one trying to regain his career! Makes no sense he needs them… not the other way around…. And lets be real Usher has fell off!!Last year Trey won he had a great CD and even he fell off this year so it wsa open for Chris to easily work his magic.. BTW his CD is #Hot!! and #teambreezy are die hard fans!!
All I have to say is Tiffany Greene is attractive.
If BET purposedly did that to that child “shame on” them and they should have given the poor child a heads up on the jokie joke. Aside from that, they owe that child a public apology and some comp tickets to something or an extremely nice gift bag.
All I can say is be happy bitch!….’cause you are getting your 15 minutes!!…..enjoy it while it last!!
lol they had ole girl all screwed up. She didnt know if she was coming or going. If it was me I would have given the tablet to one of the other two on stage and told them that there is some trickery going on.
People making a big deal out of this & bashing this poor girl are idiots….
Only kids are doing that. Anybody adult doing that should be embarrassed. lol
We all know BET and MTV are garbage and that was a set up. A publicity stunt by BET, poor girl. Anyway, both artists are garbage. I’m still upset that Lupe Fiasco wasn’t at least nominated for Best Male hip hop artist, instead Kanye wins?! wtf….Lupe’s album “Lasers” was HOT!
only in your mind. i doubt if lupe still has a career anfter his obama is a terrorist comments.
that poor girl..bet did that on purpose smh
Folks… smh, get it together. This is the ONLY venue/award show that celebrates black music and musicians. So you think R&B/hip hop/gospel/jazz/blues gets a far shake on other shows? I laugh!
Isn’t the Grammy taking some of those categories away?
YOU are so brainwashed that you knock your own down as too ghetto or EBT, what idiots. Viacom is the parent company of both bet and mtv…they don’t care it’s called green. Get a clue.
this b**** made me hate her and I dont even know her…I mean darn can you not stop reading the promter and read the darn ipad in your hand..#idiot
She addressed the situation in a very unprofessional, tacky, classless manner. Why in the world would you tweet something laced with disgust and profanity if you are trying to get in the “Business?” SMH!!!
I agree with everyone it was a hot mess and Tiffany Greene is a very beautiful young lady.She will rise from this foolishness let’s get over it and move on to real important issues (“NEXT”)I am like really being sarcastic now right..
