EXCLUSIVE!! Stephen Hill Finally speaks Out about Trina Not Nominated For Awards!!.
So for Weeks we've been trying to sit and wait for a response from BET about the recent comments made from such artist as trina about not being nominated...Finally we got what we wanted according to at our pals over @ The Wire Here's how it's being reported....
Chris Brown has the most nominations, while artists like Keyshia Cole and Trina have none. Trina blatantly went public with her frustration and said "F***k BET" on Twitter.
BET President Stephen Hill responded as to why Trina got snubbed.
"Okay, that was because Trina didn't submit a video that was in during the eligibility period.
Let me back up. To be eligible, here's what you have to have: a video that's submitted and then first played on BET...between April 1 of one year and March 30 of the next year.
So for this eligibility period it would be April 1 of 2010 to March 30 of 2011. She did not release a video to us in that time. "Million Dollar Girl" came in March. I think it was March 12 or so of 2010".
Many artists came out supporting Trina, including Nicki Minaj and Diamond. Here is what Hill had to say about that..."They were all operating off of false information basically. They all believed that Trina was eligible to be nominated. I love that. They were supporting each other. Far too many times in hip hop people want to tear each other down or not support each other. So even though it was at our expense, you have all these women supporting each other in the hip hop field.
So hopefully people will feel better once the truth comes out, once they realize that there was no eligibility there".
