BET Networks issued a statement in response to the many inaccurate reports and rumors circulating the Rick Ross & Young Jeezy incident on social media.

“BET Networks works very hard to bring the best in entertainment to the city of Atlanta. For the past 7 years BET has celebrated the true art form of Hip Hop. Due to some misjudgment of select attendees, it is unfortunate that certain incidents took place. BET Networks does not condone any type of violence. Local authorities are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.”

Despite the actions of a few the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards embodied the true spirit of hip hop and was not impacted at all by any incidents.  Tune in on Tuesday, October 9, 8P/7C to watch the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards.
