Shawty Lo Responds: In The Bible, People Had Plenty Chi’ren!

This morning, Shawty Lo called into Atlanta radio-jock Rashan Ali on Streetz 94.5 to express his disappointment in Oxygen’s decision to cancel his reality special by comparing his struggle to those men who had “plenty of children” in the Bible (yeah, you read that right).

Shawty Lo’s publicist Kali Bowyer also told RumorFix that after receiving 123,000 emails from people wanting to save the show, they will be fighting against Oxygen’s decision to cancel the show by launching their own petition entitled Oxygen Network: Put Shawty Lo and Baby Mamas back on the air. The petition states:

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?

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? Other networks that currently showcase polygamy, promiscuity, and alcoholism, are on the air, with multiple mothers and magnitudes of children. So what’s the difference? Because Shawty Lo is black and a rapper? Yes, I said it he’s black, ( just in case you didn’t already know ).

Shows in comparison such as Sister Wives, show 4 mothers and I can’t even count how many kids, one could make the argument that TLC promotes “polygamy “, one could argue that shows such as “Bad Girls Club” promotes “violence” amongst women, or how about the infamous “Jersey Shore” for 5 seasons we watch young men and women drink til they puke and have a magnitude of sexual whoring behavior, making the argument that MTV promotes “alcoholism and unhealthy sexual behavior” , but the difference is their white! Come on America! Support Shawty Lo!

Are you buying this defense?
