Twitter can be used for many things but yesterday it was used by disgruntled Monica fans to blast BET over what appears to be a blatent snub.? As the nominees for the 2010 BET awards were announced, Monica’s name was noticeably absent from the “Best Female R&B Artist” category list.
The nominees are:? Beyonc?, Mary J. Blige, Melanie Fiona, Alicia Keys, and Rihanna.? Mo’s fans aren’t feelin it.? At ALL!
Monica responded graciously and assured everyone she’s ok with it:
I see all of your tweets and I thank u. I was disappointed to find I wasn’t in the R&B category but only briefly. It’s a blessing to be nominated at all. I have been R&B since I was 13…
So the bright side of it is u all get your say with the viewers choice award. VOTE HEAVY
Since Monica’s reality show, Still Standing is on BET, some feel that the network deliberately omitted her name from the list, so as not to appear biased.? Whatever the case, the fans ain’t buying it!
There are some heavy hitters on the list, but Monica’s name should have been among them.? I’m crying FOUL! Who’s with me?

Clifford “T.I.” Harris appeared on The Larry King LIVE show last night in his first post jail interview since being released from federal prison for weapons charges.
King grilled the 29 year old rapper about his desire for fire-power and why he felt the need to have so many weapons in his possession.
In a detailed explanation, Tip said it all began when his friend, Philant Johnson, was murdered and how he felt that he was actually the intended target, not Johnson.
“It came from an attempt that was made on my life,” T.I. told King. “It caused a state of depression and paranoia. My judgment was jaded, and I felt my life was in danger.”
Besides all the serious topics about weapons & killings, the interview was actually pretty entertaining. Tip talked about fatherhood, his love for Tiny “Tameka” Cottle, and even took the opportunity to display his broad vocabulary. [Sidenote: “absolutely” appears to be one of his absolutely favorite words.]
I could care less about what he had to say, I just liked hearing him say it. Ain’t nothin like a Atlanta man’s dialect!
