Chris Brown big winner
(AP) - The BET Awards honor
various arts, but Sunday's ceremony
was all about the music.
There were more performances
than awards during the 3 1/2-hour
show at the Shrine Auditorium in
Los Angeles, where singer Chris
Brown and rappers Lil Wayne, Rick
Ross and DJ Khaled did double
duty, each taking the stage twice to
perform.
Brown made a few extra trips to
the stage as the night's big winner.
The 21-year-old won four awards,
adding momentum to a comeback
that began with his Michael Jack-
son tribute at the BET Awards last
year and continued with his album,
"F.A.M.E."
Brown has been working to re
pair his image since he pleaded guilty
to a ssa u ltin g th e n -g irlfrie n d
Rihanna in 2009. He hit a stumbling
block this year when he tore up his
dressing room after an appearance
on "Good Morning America."
He was named best male R&B
artist and won best collaboration
for his song "Look At Me Now"
with Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.
The three performed together Sun
day as part of a medley of Brown's
songs.
Brown was back on stage to join
Big Sean on his song, "My Last,"
and again to close the show, which
he did on a bicycle alongside host
Kevin Hart, who was on a Segway
scooter.
Lil Wayne did lots of stage time.
He performed with Brown and Drake,
et al, and was on stage again when
