Chris Brown Denies Being Barred From BET Awards

Chris Brown was not barred from the BET (Black Entertainment Awards) at the weekend.

Reports suggested it was rapper Jay-Z who had put a stop to the R&B singer from attending, as he assaulted former girlfriend Rihanna - who is a good friend of the '99 Problems' star.

At the time, a source told the New York Daily News: "Jay is a big name in the BET community, and he was very vocal about his displeasure with Chris attending the ceremony."

"He didn't want Chris anywhere near the awards so close to the court's ruling."

But denying the allegations is Brown's representative, who says: "That's not true - he was never confirmed to perform."
