We all know about this by now, but it's still a good read:
RAPPER 50 Cent has suffered an embarrassing blow at the BET awards, when he was caught lip synching live on stage, watched by millions of people.
Entertainment site MediaTakeOut.com report that 50 Cent was caught out from the beginning of his performance, after being ceremoniously lowered onto stage on a podium.
The "What Up Gangsta" rapper clearly lip synched the initial chorus to the hit song "Amusement Park."
After the chorus ended, he tried to continue mouthing the songs lyrics. But unfortunately for 50, DJ Whoo Kidd played the instrumental version.
Oops!

One person who worked the event told MediaTakeOut.com, "The whole thing was so embarrassing. To get caught like that in front of millions of people is almost unimaginable."
After this first embarrassment, the cringe-worthy performer increased the situation by walking around the stage seemingly aimlessly - all the while waiting for the song to re-cue.
G-Unit member Tony Yayo decided the best way to help the sinking song was to scream expletives into the microphone.
Witnesses said that when the record did eventually re-cue, 50 did all that he could to salvage his performance, but it was far too late at that point.
By then 50 appeared so shaken with embarrassment, that he cut things short.
Bizarrely, 50 finished the shortened set with the words, "Vitamin Water." An apparent reference to a new business venture worth about $US100M.
After the event, MediaTakeOut.com spoke to witnesses.
One audience member told the site "No one in the audience really knew what was going on. It just seemed like (50 Cent) cut the performance short ... But now that I know he was lip syncing, I think it's hilarious."
