It’s not only a big deal because the show is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, but also because Chief Keef is returning to the BET Awards after being banned for almost a decade!

It was a no-go from the uppers. They really black-balled him from [the] mainstream. It’s crazy.”As time heals all wounds, the rap artist is allowed back to perform and will surely make it a triumphant return.
