The evening's performance highlight came when Eminem took the stage as part of DJ Kid Capri's tribute set to Dr. Dre. Eminem then stayed onstage to present his mentor with the Founders Award.
Past recipients of the coveted ASCAP award include Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Smokey Robinson and Sir Paul MCCartney.

Ne-yo's gay ass ain't foolin' no damn body with his "fiancé" & with his "baby on the way" he needs to cut all that out and just come out the closet already!
He's lookin' mighty zesty in that picture. And gay or not he's still ugly as hell with his fish face and receding hair line.
Quit hating on Neyo!! Luther Vandross was gay as hell and so is Prince but ALL of their music jams. Hell most of us were made because our parents were listening to Luther & Prince, lol. Gay or not these brothers can write the hell out of some music!!! Congratulations Ne-yo!
GO Neyo!!!
11:44 no one said anything about Ne-Yo's music. & both Prince and Luther have been called out on numerous occasions for being closet cases. Ne-yo is no exception to the rule.
I didn't know he had a girlfriend let alone a fiance but congrats to Ne-yo his award and baby on the way. (In my Gina voice)You Go boy!
He's talented, Great songwriter singer and producer and now he's going to be a father, so good for him.
Dude gay, idc what anybody has to say.
A) Wasn't/isn't he already a father? I could have sworn he taking care of some child years ago
B) What exactly did he win for? Who has he wrote for in the past year?
10:11 that was his ex girlfriends kid that he was helping to raise IDK if he is still involved in the childs life or not...
O/T this man is extrmely talented, without being vulgar, I can listen to most of his music with my kids in the car, and BTW they love his music as well, Ne-Yo is a not only a songwriter but a story teller and can convey that thru his music like no other and FYI he was a millionaire before he got famous just for writing songs for other artists, Ne-Yo gets big props from me, can't wait for LIBRA SCALES to come out in SEPT, and yes Im a Libra like Ne-Yo, I will always support his music
Prince ain't gay...
Lets get it straight, Prince is not gay.
@11:04, I was just saying to my 8 yr old just morning that we should buy Ne-yo's last cd. we played it so much that it cracked on us.
I dont care about no one else's personal life but mines and my kids. I wouldnt care if he lived with 3 males, and they all slept together. Its not my life. I dont have to deal with it.
