Jason Derulo has a certified summer smash on his hands, thanks to the
Snoop Dogg-assisted single “Wiggle.” For all his success, the popular
crooner says he’s just not feeling the love from urban music lovers.
Derulo is particularly offended by his treatment from BET. The network has long been a hub for entertainment programming centered on the African-American experience.
The “Talk Dirty” singer says he was, well, offended when he failed to notch a single nomination at last month’s annual BET Awards. While it could be argued that Derulo’s body of work is rooted more in pop than the hip-hop and R&B often celebrated on awards night, Jason says he’s about thisclose to never doing business with the network again.
“When you see all these other shows, the VMAs, the AMAs, and you see what happens on those shows? For that world to still be behind, I don’t understand it and I’m almost done with it, man, to be honest with you. I’m not gonna continue to extend myself, if they’re not gonna extend back. I love BET, I mean, I grew up watching it. But I’m gonna do what I do.”
