This year BET Hip-Hop awards was on point with the hip-hop cyphers. The man behind the cyphers is none other than the legend "Dj Premiere." Recently, Premier spoke on stories behind the cyphers, choosing the artists, and those who participated in this year's cyphers. Seems like this year was going to be a lot more different in choosing artists for these cypers. Some of us were already shocked enough to see singers Chris Brown and Estelle dropping rhymes. But what if Justin Beiber was in one of those cyphers? Why not! He's been showing his skills for minute now on his collaborations with artists like Chris Breezy and Ludacris. Well, Beiber was almost given the opportunity to show his freestyling skills, until Dj Premiere turned him down.
According to Preimer, Beiber wanted Ludacris to drop a couple bars him.

"Justin Beiber asked if he could do the cypher. Everybody was worried that it might mess of the integrity of BET. So I said, Yo, as long as he got a dope rhyme, let him spit. But then we hard, Oh, he wants Luda to write his rhyme. I was like Oh, no, no, no, no, no. If you ain't writing your own rhyme, you can't do it. So Justin had to take a back seat. Write your own rhymes, honey."
