Despite receiving an almost ridiculous 12 nominations for the BET Awards, Canadian superstar Drake decided to ditch the show at the last minute.

The 26-year-old told the event's producers that he wouldn't be making any kind of appearance at the awards, causing some to speculate about whether or not he was afraid to see Chris Brown.

The two had a nasty bout at W.i.P in Manhattan last year, in which bottles were tossed around the swanky club.

"Everything is in flux--the producers are all pulling their hair out," said a source about Drake's no-show.

Nonetheless, even without Drake, the show went on.
