As some of you may already know, right before we were to perform with Snoop Dogg and Pharell (“Drop it Like Its Hot”), a huge fight broke out and rumors about a stabbing in the audience, forced the security to have us all leave the building until the riot was under control. Apparently, someone attacked Dr. Dre during the Honor speech.
Someone punched him, right before he was going on stage to receive his honor award from Quincy Jones and Snoop. Some young guy got stabbed and people were throwing chairs, bottles and so forth throughout the ordeal. We watched the whole thing on a nearby monitor backstage. That was until someone yelled “gunshots! – every body get out!”. 30 minutes later, the show went on as planned. No one got shot and no shots were fired, we later learned. We did our little show and that was it. Young Buck of G-Unit / the Game / 50 Cent is currently wanted by police for using a knife during the massive fight…
We were 6 dancers, dressed up in construction worker outfits. First we had to push the “LA together with “VA” so the entire word spelled Lava and then we had to dance on stage until the song was over. After that, we hung out backstage and watched the rest of the show. A cool gig, too bad it had to go down like that. I am off to Europe. The pics from the Vibe Awards will be posted in the members section of my website…
The party at hotel Viceroy was rumored to be canceled, but I doubt it. That was where all the stars was staying. And Shelter had a private party for Nelly and such. I was not in the mood to go out, too tired and had an early day… Ok that’s not entirely true! I fell asleep on my God d*** sofa watching TV. I missed all the fun 🙁 . I guess the drama made up for it!
