Friends of Shawty Lo LAUNCH Online Petition Demanding Oxygen To Air "All My Babies' Mamas" Reality Show!
January 16, 2013GWL StaffJust moments ago, Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo, who's reality show "All My Babies' Mamas" was canceled yesterday before it even aired, has now sparked an uproar between fans and friends of the rapper (including 40 Glocc) who've launched an online petition over at Change.org demanding the Oxygen network to continue with production and the premiere of Lo's reality show.
Here's what the petition reads:
It's a sad day in America, when people attempt to reject a father that steps up to the plate, a father who is actively supporting his children & their mothers , not just monetarily but emotionally as well.
Shawty Lo, is in fact a father figure that most young black men today coming from a similar past lifestyle and environment, should mimic in his parental role. With 11 children, which are all clothed, fed, housed and loved in everyway that a parent should love, protect and provide for their child. As well as being a supportive and active partner in the co-parenting of his children with their mothers.
Everyone has a past, especially in hip-hop, however how many take the reins and put their life in motion for change?
Rap music came from the streets of urban culture, songs of struggle and strength. Before the masses came in with their auto tunes and pop divas, hip-hop was the voice of urban America, allowing young men and women in the concrete jungle a poetic voice, that allowed others into their world. Artists such as Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC and Public Enemy paved the way for today's chart toppers. Rhymes about what their daily life endured, with everything from teen pregnancy, racism to political movements.
A man is supposed to take care of his children, and the mother (s), weather it be singular or plural.
So here's the question, would you rather see 11 children struggle with mothers on welfare? Or watch a man support his children? Does it come down to the race card?You can read more here
And despite the 36 year-old saying he's "Dunn Dunn it all" he'll now have to cross the reality show path as his 10 baby mamas and 11 kids are failing to experience stardom.
40 Glocc is promising to follow fans on Twitter who retweets his tweets and signs the petition.
Plus, Shawty, who has a 12th child on the way, has not yet released an official statement after reports went viral about the show being canceled, due to health issues as he is currently on bed rest after catching a flu.

Atleast he's taking care of his kids! It's reality shows who have WOMEN on their shows who don't even have custody (DRAYA) of their kid... -talkn
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I think the show will go on...at least his kids ain't on welfare and EBT(Tammi BBW Season 2).
Deletewhat's wrong with ebt tho?its there to use if you lose your job so why not use it?simple mind
Deleteperson basically said he is taking care of his kids so they wouldn't need government assistance...ur the simple mind
Deletebut draya does have custody of her son...he's with her mom while she works and she takes care of both of them ....as for shanty lo why is he even still around..his voice and music are annoying..
ReplyDelete"With 11 children, which are all clothed, fed, housed and loved in everyway that a parent should love, protect and provide for their child" - What? How can you possibly divide love equally among 12 children, and manage a music career?
ReplyDelete"however how many take the reins and put their life in motion for change?" - There is no change, OBVIOUSLY if the man has his 12th child on the way. Where's the change in that?
"A man is supposed to take care of his children, and the mother (s), weather it be singular or plural." - Exactly, so why is he being praised for something he should do whether its infront of cameras or not?
This show needed to be cancled. Period.
Idk if he's being PRAISED but I wouldn't mind seeing how he manages to do it all! If this was a show about him having 11 kids and tryna file for bankruptcy while his kids were on welfare, not being taken care of and him being an overall deadbeat, IT WOULD BE ON TV ALREADY!
Deleteanimals take care of their kids, it's not an accomplishment, unless you count the millions of baby's daddies that don't
ReplyDeleteI mean damn is they gonna SHOW THE SHOW OR NOT
ReplyDeleteThe show shall go on! -Army Green
ReplyDeleteShawty-Lo determined to get his (brown)
