Dr. Dre Receives VIBE Legend Award Despite Disruption A spirited performance of "How We Do," by The Game (Jayceon Taylor), and platinum-rapper 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) served as tribute to their father-in-music Dr. Dre (Andre Young), during the taping of the second annual VIBE AWARDS ON UPN at Santa Monica's Barker Hangar on Nov. 15. Dre was slated to receive the VIBE Legend Award, an award honoring his lifetime contributions to hip hop music. Shortly following the performance, Snoop Dogg (Calvin Broadus) and Vibe founder Quincy Jones approached the podium to honor Dre. During Jones' speech, an unidentified man approached Dre and a fracas ensued near the stage, according to witnesses. Police report that a 26-year-old man was stabbed during the melee and transported to a nearby hospital, where he is listed in stable condition. Despite the disruption, Dre went on to receive his award and the show continued with fervent energy as the audience rose to its feet while Snoop Dogg and Pharrell performed "Drop It Like It's Hot." "We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred last night. It is unfortunate that an event so many people worked very hard to create has been tainted by the actions of a few individuals. The Vibe Awards and Vibe magazine represent the best of urban culture and they will continue to do so. It is a testament to the true vision of the Vibe Awards that the magnificent talent and staff continued on to create a fantastic show," said Kenard Gibbs, President of Vibe. Other awards presented will include Best R&B Song, R&B Voice of the Year, Next Award, Street Anthem, Club Banger of the Year, and the Boomshot Award (honoring excellence in Caribbean music).
