He was nabbed by the feds blocks away from the awards where he was supposedly picking up illegal machine guns and silencers he had been brokering a deal to purchase through his bodyguards. Yikes. Despite the trouble, TI, who was nominated for nine awards, picked up two statues. Also going home with two (and considering he could show, he actually was there to accept) was Mr. Kanye West. In nontypical fashion, after winning Best Hip Hop Video <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301608,00.html" target="_blank">he tried to pass it off to UGK's "International Players," featuring OutKast</a>. Um, suuuure you actually want to give that award to someone else, Kanye. Totally, though I do appreciate his sense of humor.</p> <p><a href="/gallery/149955" target="gallery"><span class="inline left"></span></a></p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs limit' ><div class=title></div><ul></ul></div></p> <p>To see more from the awards, performances and red carpet just read more</p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='/gallery/149955'>View 40 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> <p>Images include Kanye West, LL Cool J, Common, Wyclef Jean, Ciara, Nelly, Chingy, Cornel West, Jermaine Dupri, Lil' Mama, Ne-Yo, Ashanti</p> <p><a href="http://www.wireimage.com" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.popsugar.com/700932#comment Kanye West Nelly Ciara LL Cool J Common Wyclef Jean 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:31:00 -0700 Molly http://www.popsugar.com/700932
