Reports are suggesting that Jay-Z shut down Chris Brown's BET performance by threatening to boycott the show himself if Chris was allowed to perform. Jay-Z is also alleged to have said that his wife, Beyonce, would not perform if Chris was allowed to. While Al Sharpton was said to have a hand in the cancellation as well it certainly looks like Jay-Z is still bitter about the Rihanna affair... This has not pleased Chris however with a friend saying, "He’s furious, 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."

Yeah, we think this was foul, if it's true...NO ONE would have given a tribute to Mike like Chris Brown...he has ALL of his moves in tact, and he did an amazing job on the James Brown Tribute...that's OK, 'cause one of the more mainstream awards show are going to swoop him up...Jay being a business man, knows that this is a business, man...
