BET Awards 2012: Backstage and Candids

Solange, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian

The champagne was flowing and the star power was glowing at the BET Awards ’12 in Los Angeles on Sunday. Hip-hop’s royal couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z held court in the front row, toasting their accolades alongside Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Solange grabbed a seat alongside her sister and boyfriend/director Alan Ferguson, while Nicki Minaj held hands with Kim. Backstage, Kanye and Mariah Carey greeted Whitney Houston’s mother Cissy and Wale and Miguel celebrated their win for Best Collaboration.

In the press room, Best Female Hip-Hop Artist winner Nicki posed with her Young Money labelmate Tyga. An ecstatic Mindless Behavior was still reveling in their win for Viewers’ Choice Award and Brandy had “one of the best nights of [her] ENTIRE LIFE” after honoring her idol Whitney Houston.

Check out over 20 candid photos from the star-studded affair.

    Everybody looked great but Kim K looked uncomfortable.

    If Kanye & Kim happy let em live. Kim’s an upgrade from Amber in my opinion. And she has her own paper.

    Nicki didn’t do bad last night.

    Beyonce looked great and seemed to have a good time. It was cool seeing her relaxed.

    Coast Houston tribute was the best then Monica.

    Brandy looked great but I wasn’t feeling the lip synching.

    Awards weren’t great but they weren’t the worst they’ve been.

    Nicki always looks a mess. I wonder what her hairline is like after all these awful glued down wigs. Such a shame as she is so pretty.

    Kim looked out of place at the awards last night. Bey looked beautiful and her and Jay were cute together. The Whitney tribute was the best of the night.
