BET To Honor Women At BET Hip Hop Awards

October 15th, 2008 | Author: Anthony Springer Jr

This year’s BET Hip Hop Awards will allegedly include a tribute to women in Hip Hop.

The lid was blown off the tribute by Entertainment Weekly writer Margeaux Watson, who recently took the network to task for failing to nominate any women for any awards.

In a recent posting on Entertainment Weekly’s site, Watson praised the nominations of Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne while adding: “There’s no way I’d miss the top-secret all-star tribute to women in hip-hop that BET is keeping under wraps -- despite the fact that it could help diffuse some of the flack they’re catching for failing to nominate a single female rapper. Though details of the salute remain scarce, I was told by one of the participants that it will include performances by Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and the Lady of Rage, among others.”

The BET Hip Hop Awards will air October 23.
