DRAKE EXPLAINS HIS ABSENCE FROM THE 2013 BET AWARDS Usually when an artist receives a dozen award nominations, this often times guarantees that the audience will get to see that person at the event. However, that was not the case for Drake who was nominated 12 times at this year’s BET Awards. While most of the stars arriving on the red carpet were unaware of the scheduled performances, there was talk that Drake had planned to attend and perform, but when the lights went up the Young Money rapper was not at the Nokia Theatre. Rumors began to circulate that Drake pulled out of the show at the last minute because he wanted to avoid R&B singer Chris Brown. Brown and Drake have had a very public feud over the last year after the two were engaged in a bottle throwing incident at a New York City night club. Drake then took to Twitter to clear the matter announcing that his absence from the awards show was the result of him wanting to focus on his music and his family. Sources revealed that Drake’s decision to not attend threw off the show with producers scrambling to figure out how to replace him. There were obvious moments during the broadcast when the show’s host Chris Tucker had to fill in time with him even asking producers on camera if they were ready to move on.
