Chris Brown left triumphant at the BET Awards last night (June 26th) after picking up five awards. The R&B star, who also performed at the Los Angeles ceremony, won awards including 'Best Male R&B Artist', 'Best Collaboration' and 'Video Of The Year' for 'Look at Me Now'.
Brown won five awards from six nominations, and was keen to thank fans for an uplifting moment in what has been a difficult few years for the singer. Speaking to the crowd, he said: "I know it's been a long road. I just appreciate every blessing that's been put in front of me." The 21-year-old singer was also announced as winner of the 'Viewers Choice' award and the 'Fandemonium' award
However, a mix-up with the digital system for announcing winners led to the fan who declared Brown as the ‘Viewer’s Choice’ winner first erroneously awarding the accolade to ‘S&M’ singer (and Brown’s ex-girlfriend) Rihanna.
Other major winners on the night included Nicki Minaj, who picked up ‘Best Female Hip-Hop Artist’ and Wiz Khalifa, who picked up the award for ‘Best New Artist’.
