There were several noteworthy moments at the 2014 BET Awards. Held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, the annual celebration of black talent continued to exceed expectations. Rolling out was on hand to capture every second.
Here are the five best moments from the BET Awards.
Chris Brown’s return after months in jail
Chris Brown returned to the stage after serving several months in jail. He proved that he was still at the top of his game during a performance of “Loyal” with Lil Wayne. He also surprised the crowd by bringing out Travis Barker to play the drums.
August Alsina and Trey Songz squash their beef to perform together
It wasn’t a secret that August Alsina and Trey Songz had a disagreement at some point. Several months ago, Alsina became angry after “106 & Park” host Keshia Chante asked him about Trey Songz. The two put their differences aside for a memorable performance that included Chris Brown.
Kevin Hart channels his inner gladiator with Kerry Washington
Kevin Hart came to stage with Kerry Washington in full character as Oliver Pope, the brother of Olivia Pope from “Scandal.” Although Hart as Oliver Pope was only for an award presentation, it would be comic gold if it was developed for a larger skit on “Funny or Die.”
Chris Rock doesn’t hold back
Chris Rock took aim Jay Z and Solange, Donald Sterling, and Paris Hilton to name a few. Before Chris Brown’s performance, Rock joked that Brown “signed a new deal, but unfortunately it was a plea deal.”
The ’90s R&B tribute
Anyone who came of age in the 1990s appreciated the tribute to R&B groups Troop, Silk and Color Me Bad. The groups represented a sound and time when R&B groups were essential.
