Cape Town - The BET Awards last week leaked a list of several winners on its own website, well ahead of the award show.

The event is scheduled to take place on Sunday, 25 June in Los Angeles.
BET organisers responded to the leak saying: "An unforeseen technical issue on BET.com's BET AWARDS show page resulted in several categories revealing randomly selected nominees as winners."
