Jermaine Dupri Reacts to Ashanti and Nelly's Baby News, Talks Drake and Kendrick Lamar's Rap Beef (Exclusive)

ET chats with Jermaine Dupri about Ashanti and Nelly's baby news and the latest on Drake's beef with Kendrick Lamar at the BET Awards.

While Dupri preferred not to choose a side when it comes between Drake, 37, and Lamar -- his daughter, Jalynn, said she was proudly Team Kendrick -- the producer wasn't shy to admit that he decided to attend Sunday night's award show after it was announced that Will Smith will take the stage to perform his new song. Dupri is also looking forward to watching Usher be honored with this year's prestigious Lifetime Achievement BET Award, which is presented to gamechangers and industry pioneers who have left a lasting impact on the culture and entertainment. The 45-year-old will join a list of previous Lifetime Achievement BET Award recipients, including Whitney Houston, Prince, Queen Latifah, Anita Baker, Mary J. Blige, Samuel Jackson, Lionel Richie, New Edition and Busta Rhymes.
