I listed the Young Money performance as one of the worst moments of the BET Awards partly because I thought it was a terrible idea for Drake to perform when he wasn’t in a position to give 100% energy. Drake seems to agree. Oh, and the less said about those 5-year old female backup dancers, the better.

Says Drake:

“That, actually—to be honest—was a terrible idea that I’ll never do to myself again. [Laughs] But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes. I don’t think it called for us to perform “Every Girl” and “Always Strapped,” and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-in-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne’s daughters and her friends coming out on stage…”

I rest my case.
