Unsurprisingly, BET felt the heat after a wack ass awards show that included a tasteless finale by Young Money. In a recent story granted to allhiphop.com, the network offered an apology and a representative released an official statement that reads:

“We value and appreciate the feedback from our viewers and have edited Young Money’s performance for all BET Awards ’09 encore presentations.”

Thankfully, a day after releasing a confusing, controversial video that had heads turning once again, Drake stepped up to the plate and offered his own apologies to fans and viewers who took in the degrading performance. It read:

“That…was a terrible idea that I’ll never do to myself again. But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes.

“I don’t think it called for us to perform ‘Every Girl’ and ‘Always Strapped,’ and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-n-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne’s daughters and her friends coming out on stage — it was just timed very poorly and it definitely wasn’t planned like that, but with that being said, it is what is. I believe in Wayne and myself and it’s nothing we can’t bounce back from. To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn’t intended to offend anybody.”
