The best part of the BET Awards: Joe Budden & Migos almost got into a fight

The 2017 BET Awards were kind of a snooze from a fashion perspective and an awards perspective. Kendrick Lamar won big, Beyonce won big, Solange didn’t thank Beyonce (ha), Remy Ma “dethroned” Nicki Minaj as Best Female Hip-Hop Artist and Chance won Best New Artist (he’s been around for years?). Our coverage of the BET Awards will be limited because there really wasn’t a huge moment from the actual show. Thankfully, there was a huge moment during the preshow. The moment involved the group Migos versus DJ Akademiks and Joe Budden. I didn’t realize that Joe Budden was/is a thing, but he is – he’s a former (?) hip-hop artist turned reality star turned Complex interviewer/journalist/personality. He was part of the crew doing red carpet interviews on Complex’s live coverage. Budden, DJ Akademiks and the Everyday Struggle crew were trying to interview the guys from Migos when it all went sideways. Here’s the video:
DJ Akademiks says to Takeoff: “I feel like this is like a running joke, with you being left off ‘Bad and Boujee.” Takeoff: “You said I’m left off ‘Bad and Boujee?’ Does it look like I’m left off ‘Bad and Boujee?’” This continues for a moment and then Joe Budden says dismissively, “Alright, we gotta wrap this up though,” then drops his mic and walks away. The Migos guys stand up in unison and then security is called and it seems like some sh-t was just about to go down in a big way.
Budden’s been tweeting about the confrontation too, because of course he has?
They was just a little too sassy for me that’s all

And for much of last night and this morning, Joe Budden and Migos were trending on Twitter as everybody had an opinion on Budden (“drama queen”) and Migos (??).
