Chrisette Michele VS Rick Ross

This past weekend was the Soul Train awards which was seemingly taken over by BET in it's entirety looked more like a BET Hip Hop Music award rather than having soul. Some greats were honored Anita Baker and Ron Isley of whom had great intentions of performing. His wife was definitely one of his back up singers and he came out with some rump shakers, Chante Moore and R. Kelly. Talk about a star studded cast right? One of the "highlights" of the night was supposed to be a performance by my wife Chrisette Michele and Rick Ross for Aston Martin Music. Honestly speaking I had no idea Chrisette was even on that track even though I religiously listened to Epiphany last year which was one of the best albums. Any who, Rick Ross decided to be a bitch ass and back out of the performance after he didn't win an award. He fucked up Chrisette because she has an album coming out and for those who don't know/aren't really familiar with her music, had an opportunity to get to know her.

In a statement to Hip Hop Dx Ross said he left because the performance was not his own, it didn't feel personal to him and that the Soul Train staff was being extremely close minded and not allowing his input for the performance.

That's a bag of bull shit.

You didn't realize how pushy they were with the performance until you lost in the category you were nominated for. Gimmie a break. Diddy said no bitchassness Ricky.

On her blog Chrisette wrote:

"Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win?” “An award is winning at being as ‘stuck in a category’ as possible. Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else…I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool. Don’t LET me start rapping. (album in stores november 30th).”"

Way to stand your ground honey!
