What would the hottest chick in the game wear at #BETAwards? The hive is working working!! #Behive you wont be disappointed.

Really?! D’Angelo. Chris Brown. Whitney Tribute. Usher. Maze. Someone else we haven’t announced yet.

Beyonce is currently nominated for 6 awards, including Best Female R&B Artist, Best Collaboration, Video of the Year (for two videos), Video Director of the Year and the Coca-Cola Viewer’s Choice Award.
