Industry sources told us this evening that T-Pain has replaced Katt
Williams of the host of the BET Hip Hop Awards. The decision was
reportedly made in the early hours of this morning.

BET's statement from Stephen Hill claiming that this decision
stemmed from a contest. "So we were all hanging out last night and Katt
bets T-Pain he couldn’t beat him in a break dance battle. Not knowing
T-Pain was an extremely DOPE break dancer, Katt thought it was an easy
win. T-Pain said if I win, I get to host the Hip Hop Awards.”

Sources that have asked to be anonymous have told HipHopDX otherwise,
claiming that the host change may have come from a disagreement. Katt
Williams was reportedly salaried over $50,000 for the hosting role,
with scripted writers. Specific motives were not provided from the
sources, but it was implied that Williams is disgruntled.

As the awards are still taping at time of press, Williams nor official BET have yet to release statements.
