Letoya's Fans Want Her on the BET Awards

As many of you know, Matthew Knowles told BET that if they allowed Letoya Luckett to perform on their awards show that he’d pull Beyonce as an act. Letoya has been pulled and she recently addressed the drama in an interview with WPGC’s DJ Flexx
Dj Flexx:”Let’s just say that it’s true, how does it make you feel that Matthew would go so hard at you to get you off the show?”
LeToya: “It saddens me a little. Because our situation happened close to 10 years ago, and I think as we all know Bey is a very, very, very talented artist, and I think that we both have our own lanes and fan base, and I don’t see why I would have to be one of the ones picked out of the entire crew of females that will be hitting the stage that night. I don’t know… I’m gonna try and word this right… I just don’t understand why I’m picked outta that group because there are so many other female artists performin’ that night and I think we all deserve to have a chance at that stage. Everybody works hard and we all have something different to offer, from Keyshia to Keri to Bey, everybody is different in their own ways so it saddens me if that’s true, and I hope that’s not the case but I’ll be there regardless”.

Well since she’s been pulled, fans have decided to set a petition in motion to get BET to reinstate her as a performer on the show

This is really effed up MK! Knock it off! That was mad long ago. And you think Beyonce is as great as you say then Letoya performing won’t take any of her shine. UGH! Haters annoy the shit out of me!
I guess we’ll find out who won out when we watch the show, eh?

Solo Takes a Stab at Former DC Member

Solange gets at LeToya Luckett, et al, for supposedly stealing the whole “60’s girl group” idea from her.
She says “i remember being n Idaho 4 years ago, pulling out all my old Martha& the Vandellas, Marvelettes and Supremes records,coming up with a vision wanting to create a new age 60’s girls group and modernize it. started working on soul-angel finding 2 girls and watching old shows. this was before amy winehouse so people thought i was truly bugging out. i did i decided wiith the two girls..watched about 25 old shows of all the girl groups and asking my sis to help me come up with moves ( she had just done dreamgirls) worked my but off on references…after i did i decided alot of folks were digging it but alot of folks thought were confused about “the look” now every which a way i turn..everyone is in a 60’s girl group reference. its like traditional r&b again to do the 60’s sound, look ect.
Here’s LaToya’s video for Not Anymore, the inspiration for Solange’s rant.

I like Solo but you can’t call someone else out for biting when…well, that’s the definition of what you did. You wouldn’t be able to have a ‘60s girl group sound if there weren’t, you know, girl groups in the ‘60s who did it first. I’m just saying.
