Grammy-winning rapper Ludacris' crew may have reportedly forced one-time Disturbing Tha Peace member Shawnna from attending this weekend's BET Hip Hop Awards show taping.
Details of the alleged entrance-denying incident surfaced Saturday (September 20).
A source in Shawnna’s camp tells AllHipHop.com the former Disturbing Tha Peace Records performer was blocked from the event by Chaka Zulu, the BET Hip Hop Awards show executive producer. Zulu is also co-founder of DTP along with his brother Jeff Dixon and emcee/actor Ludacris. The source also claims Shawnna was replaced by Lil Mama in one of the annual cyphers. (AHH)

Although she did not mention the BET Hip Hop Awards, Shawnna jumped onto Twitter to alert fans of her presence in Atlanta.

A couple years ago, Shawnna talked about going from Luda’s crew to entertainer T-Pain.
“Well you know, all good things come to an end,” Shawnna told co-host Charlamagne Tha God when explaining her official departure from Ludacris and DTP. When asked about making music with Pain, she went on to say “T-Pain is my boy. It wasn’t really like a signing situation. We were going to put out a project together and everyone just kind-of ran off with that. … He at the time was going through some things with Konvict [Music] Records. I think it was Atlantic, he was going to do some shifting. And then about a year or so later, you heard the announcement about him going to Young Money Cash Money.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
Pressed about her past label situations, Shawnna stood by her unwillingness to give up on her artistic freedom as an artist.
“That’s because I [didn’t] bend over, so to speak. You know, I’m not just a puppet,” she told them in response to her setbacks in the industry. “I’m not just going to go where you want me to go. When it comes to women having their voice and speaking up for themselves, they always try to shut you [down] like.. ‘Oh you can’t work with her.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
