It seems that the show might get overshadowed by a brawl that allegedly happened between Rick Ross and Young Jeezy. The two of them exchanged words backstage and started pushing and shoving each other. The fight then went outside where gun shots were heard.
Young Jeezy and Rick Ross went down backstage last night during the taping of the BET Hip Hop Awards show in Atlanta.
Despite initial reports of gunfire outside the venue, TMZ is reporting that Atlanta police say that didn't happen although a fight did take place in the parking lot. Police used pepper spray to break up the brawl. 50 Cent got into it with a rapper named Gunplay, a protégé of Rick Ross.
