 SOHH.com has learned that ABC has apologized to Chamillionaire for cancelling their interview with the rapper for an episode of "20/20" on racial profiling. While Chamilionaire accepted his MTV Video Music award for Best Rap Video last Thursday (August 31st), he revealed that he was to appear on the show to speak on racial profiling in relation to his hit, "Ridin." "Yesterday, I was supposed to do an interview for '20/20' for the song 'Ridin', about racial profiling, and they canceled it, and that ruined my week, you know what I'm saying," the self-proclaimed Mixtape Messiah said during his acceptance speech. "I do want to say, this award just made my year. ... The best thing about this award - nobody can cancel this." According to Chamillionaire's reps, the network has issued an apology to the Houston rapper. Cha's reps declined to comment further on the situation because they didn't want to "fuel the problem." ABC told The NY Daily News that they cancelled the interview because the network decided not to run the racial profiling segment. Knowing that the episode would end up on the cutting room floor, the "20/20" producers didn't want to waste Chamillionaire's time. More Info.... |
