Chris Brown Wins Big at 2011 BET Awards

As BET celebrated the year in music and several artists such as Mary J. Blige, Anita Baker, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne performed, it looks like the night belonged to Chris himself. He won four awards in total and won the first big nod of the night for Male R&B Artist by beating out Bruno Mars, Usher, Trey Songz and Cee Lo Green. Not too shabby!
