The summer of 2010 was big for Rick Ross, he released his first gold album with Teflon Don. Aside from that big achievement, he posted a summer anthem with "B.M.F." featuring Styles P. Eminem also scored an anthem with "Love The Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna.

At the Soul Train Awards, both rappers were nominated for the "Best Hip Hop Song" award. Rick Ross was also scheduled to perform "Aston Martin Music." Ross felt he should win the award and when he did not, he left in the middle of the ceremony. Last year, Rick Ross engaged in a slight beef with Eminem.

Chrisette Michele, Ross' collaborator for "Aston Martin Music," was excited about the performance and upset when Ross walked off. She vented, but later retracted her statement about Rick Ross being immature. She said she understands what an award means to people and how much it must have hurt her "Aston Martin Music" collaborator to lose.
