If I hat to write a post on the 3 worst performances of the BET Awrads, 50 Cent would be at the top of the list for walking around stage and into the audience for the first few minutes of so of his act instead of rapping his song. Here’s his explanation of what happened:

Yes, there are rampant rumors that 50 Cent and Ciara are a couple, based on their steamy performance in her new video for their single, “Can’t Leave ‘Em Alone.” But the two have come forward separately to address other issues left hanging following their performances last Tuesday at the BET Awards.
Folks were questioning the meaning behind the “25?” emblazoned on the back of a robe thrown around Ciara at the end of her performance. Some have suggested it was a reference to her rumored new boyfriend 50 Cent, with “25” meant to indicate her half of their relationship.
Others have said the “25” was a nod to the jersey number of her other rumored flame, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush.
Backstage at the awards show, Ciara explained that “25?” was a tongue-in-cheek response to her last place slot on “BET’s Top 25 Dancers of All Time” special, where she was beaten by the likes of Diddy (24), Big Daddy Kane (23) and even Missy Elliott (20).
“I don’t know if you’ve seen the Top 25 Dancers countdown on BET; I acknowledged that,” she told reporters backstage.
Meanwhile, viewers of 50 Cent’s performance were left puzzled after he kept silent during the first verse of “Amusement Park” and instead chose to curse and walk through crowd giving pounds to various artists.
The black blogosphere erupted with theories about what went wrong – from 50 forgetting his words, to a teleprompter breakdown, to an Ashlee Simpson-like lip synching malfunction. But 50 set the record straight during an appearance days later on BET’s “106 & Park.”
What had happened was – 50 was nearly knocked off of his descending platform at the start of his performance by either a trapeze, or one of the dancers hanging from a nearby trapeze. The near fall off the perch got him rattled and threw off his concentration, he told “106 & Park’s” Rocsi and Terrence. (View explanation here: http://videos.onsmash.com/v/9CPLfPCCrzsQUfC7.)
“When I prepared the performance, we went through the run-through and it just went totally different from what I actually got the chance to do,” he said. “It’s a disappointment, but I’ll get a chance to do it again, so I’ll feel good about it.” (He later performed the song on the “106 & Park” stage.)
A clip of 50’s rehearsal was shown on “106 & Park” as he explained: “You see me come out from under there with no problem, without actually being hit by the aerialist. I’m like 25 feet in the air at that point. And later on when you see the actual show, it wasn’t planned for me to take my hat off or take my jacket off.”
“Everything doesn’t quite happen the way you practice it,” he continued. “You see, I was hit by the aerialist and I was wibbly-wobbling coming down. Twenty five feet in the air, man, you fall — can’t nobody help me with that, you know what I mean? Then by the time you get down, you try and regroup to fight, you got the pyro going off, the music starts, we four bars into the song, you know — I just wasn’t concentrating.”
The rapper said his entrance into the crowd was an instinctive move to save the performance.

I would freak out being 25 feet in the air to begin with! I thought he was just walking around to entertain the crowd and enjoying being the center of attention!
50 don’t need to be explaining nothing, that boy could walk around anywhere without his coat and hat on. Girl he earned the right to enjoy being the center of attention.
I’d love to be up in the air like that, I love bungee jumping and such
I agree 50 Cent has totally earned the right to be the center of attention, but I would have liked to have seen the entire stage show instead of the last half he remembered to do 
Ciara is finally creating controversy. Haha! I love it!
She’s been trying her best to remain private and under the radar for the longest time. Now she’s finally realizing that all of the greats from Madonna, to Cher, to Janet, to Whitney etc have all thrived on controversy.
She needs something to gain attention because her singin ain’t gon’ get it done for her.
