Justin Bieber Misses BET Award Show

The R&B singer fails to attend the much talked about award show...

Justin Bieber was absent from the BET Awards show in L.A. last night (Sunday June 28) as he had a sold out show to attend and couldn’t miss it. The R&B singer didn’t think that he, a white boy from Canada, would win such an award, as he explained on Twitter.

He tweeted: "Just wanted to say I would have been at the awards but this show was booked before the nominees came out, and I don't cancel shows. I would never cancel a show and let down the fans unless I had to, but I do wish I was there too, because I am honoured to just be nominated.

"Why did we not plan for the BET Awards? Well, to be honest people, not many of us thought the white boy from Canada was gonna be nominated. But it just goes to show that music is colour blind! It is the Universal Language and good music brings us all together, the way it should be. So thank you to BET, I'm honoured and grateful and let's keep enjoying this music together, thanks."

Bieber lost out on the Best New Artist title to Nicki Minaj.
