And you thought Heavy D closing the show was a bad idea, DJ Premier saved BET from a whole other level of criticism for the Hip-Hop Awards. Apparently the Biebs wanted to be in one of the cyphers, but wanted Ludacris to write his rap, so Premo said no. But don't take my word for it, listen to Premo break it down himself:
Of course he should've said no as soon as Bieber asked to be down, but I'll give him a pass since the right decision was ultimately made.
What the fuck is wrong with Justin Bieber though? How you wanna be an MC, but don't wanna write your own rhymes? Fuck outta here with that bullshit, Bieber.

So it turns out the Biebs did write his own rap for the cypher after all. Oh well, disaster avoided regardless.
