The 4th Annual Dirty Awards ended abruptly tonight when violence erupted at the Georgia International Congress Center near downtown Atlanta.
The 2008 Dirty Awards presented by Radio One’s HOT 107.9, started off without a hitch tonight as rap stars T.I., Ludacris, Rick Ross, Trina, Rocko and singer Monica, Diamond & Li’l Scrappy, Common, and others walked the red carpet.
My spies tell me T.I. and Shawty Lo showed a unified front backstage before the event. The two rappers even took pictures together.
But problems began during Shawty Lo’s performance when he asserted his ownership of the South. Next thing you know, a chair flew onstage and police rushed forward to restore order.
T.I. promoted non-violence and Peace during his performance. He ended his speech with, “AND YOU KNOW BANKHEAD RUNS THIS!” Just then, Shawty Lo’s crew rushed the stage and fists flew. Attendees jumped on top of tables to avoid small fights that broke out near the stage.
According to sources, the police pepper sprayed bloodied Grand Hustle rapper Alfa Mega in order to subdue him. The thick clouds of mace sent guests running to the exits.
Once again, another urban award fight. This year started with the Ozone awards in Houston when Jim Jones and another rapper got into it and someone's nose was bloodied on tape. Then came the Urban Music awards in London, England last week and now the annual Dirty Awards in Atlanta saluting the "Dirty South" which has now lived to it's name.
This right here looks like a bad Bernie Mac movie....Looks like the cop is laughing too!
My reporters were actually supposed to cover it but something went wrong with the accreditation of one of my staff. I could not send a photog/videoman there without a reporter to do interviews on the red carpet and tried to reach organizers all day yesterday to no avail, so I told my 3-member staff not to go. Now then this happened.
Sandra has her own opinion on what happened blaming it all on Shawty Lo but so what if some artist proclaims the South as theirs? The artists Shawty Lo and T.I have squashed their beef but the groupies and fans still can't take it. Look at T.I scared to death appealing for calm. Some artists were dressed in winter clothing, what happened this year? UNBELIEVABLE!! Below is what they called the Black Carpet on tape.
QUOTE OF THE DAY FROM THE DIRTY AWARDS LAST NITE IN ATLANTA
Now we know why 50, Snoop, Nas, LL Cool J and other mainstream hip-hop artists don't ever attend these little ghettolicious urban awards.
The King! Shawty Lo!
KJ's Uncle David Banner was the Host!
This is the only award that Bone Crusher attends yearly. Never seen all year!
