Atlanta, Georgia rapper Shawty Lo recently made headlines for having 11 children by 10 different women. The Oxygen Network took an interest in his story and decided to offer him a reality show centered around him and his brood. They named the show "All My Babies Mamas". 

The show, which was cancelled before it was even aired, released a 13 minute trailer that interviewed the rapper and all 10 of his babies mamas. It gave insight into their personal lives and how their extremely blended family co-exists.

The trailer caused an outrage with people everywhere. Some calling the show coonery, believing it to take the African American race back hundreds of years. Shawty begs to differ....

The rapper argues that "A man is supposed to take care of his children, and the mother (s), weather it be singular or plural." {Verbatim quotes from his official petition} He says that "Everyone has a past, especially in hip-hop, however how many take the reins and put their life in motion for change?" Shawty wanted to know three more things, "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?"

Good points Shawty....the race card one not so much. It was our own culture that found disgrace in what they thought your show represented. Personally, I was looking forward to watching it! Lmao. I don't know if it's serious enough to sign a petition for it though. To each his own. 

The petition that cancelled the show before it aired had over 37,000 signatures. Shawty's has less than a thousand but is growing steadily. Both petitions can be found on change.org.
