Chris brought the funny throughout the night and more laughs were shared when Jamie accepted his award and told a detailed story about run-ins with Diddy, Kanye West and Jay Z. The off the cuff story was pure comedy and unlike other awards shows, Urban One let Jamie take his time to get out all the key details.
