A few days ago the internet was ablaze after news of Shawty Lo‘s arrest for failure to pay child support.
[READ: Shocker?! Shawty Lo Arrested For Child Support Issues... (PHOTOS)]
Well it appears it was all an elaborate hoax.
Now it’s been revealed that Shawty Lo (real name Carlos Walker) was apparently pulling a publicity stunt to gain more attention for his failed reality show!
Details below…
Shawty Lo recently tweeted the photo above of he and 2 of his 11 children as they were flashing a handful of cash, stating:
HipHopEnquirer did the footwork that no one else cared to do and found out that the attention starved father of 11 (or is it 12?) just wanted to create a buzz for his new video:
After doing our own independent investigation into the matter and speaking with sources from Shawty Lo’s camp, we found out he was actually NOT ARRESTED due to failure of child support payment or anything for that matter.
It all started when a picture surfaced on the internet Friday night of Shawty Lo being handcuffed by a City of Atlanta police officer.
HHE spoke exclusively with Shawty Lo’s manger, Johnie Cabbell who stated that the picture is just a scene from the video shoot of an upcoming single.While speaking to his manager was only part of our investigation, we examined the actual photo of his purported arrest and determined that the cop wearing the uniform had an “Atlanta Police” emblem on the shoulder.
All Atlanta police arrests falls in the County of Fulton. We contacted the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department and verified Carlos Walker alias Rico didn’t have any arrests since 2010 and it was not for child support.
There you have it.
On a related note, Shawty Lo is on a mission to get his “All My Babies Mamas” show to prime time television by starting a new petition of his own.

The reality show wannabe recently hit up Atlanta’s Hot 107.9 to share his thoughts on Oxygen pulling the plug, he also encouraged fans to sign his online petition in hopes of the show getting back on air.
I feel like they didn’t give the show a chance to air to see what was going on and she made her assumptions off of the trailer. My life story wasn’t peaches and cream. Coming up was so, so hard for me… and basically what I’m doing is telling my story, showing how Shawty Lo turned a negative into a positive.
The show wasn’t about, ‘we finna be fightin’… a lot of fathers don’t take care of one child, don’t even be there with their children. But me? I’m there with my children I’m hands on.

Lo goes on to say that he’s doing everything in his power to let the world see that the show wouldn’t be as negative as they think.
They making their assumptions off a 13-minute trailer and this like the biggest news around the world right now and it’s unbelievable.
But I’m working hard for this show to air, because people do want to see it. My kids, they want to see it. They’re disappointed right now.
My show is not about no negative; it’s a positive. But if they wanna see the show, y’all sign a petition.

Did Oxygen jump the gun on pulling “All My Babies Mamas”?
Do you think it’s possible it could be a positive portrayal of family life?

Hell no I don’t want to see him and his ghetto ass baby’s mamas lol . Sweep that shit under rug.
Right. Where Sweet Brown when you need ha?
Hell, there are dude that have one child and can’t support them, so I commend the fact that he can support his kids but support that fuckery of a “show”, I WILL NOT!!!
I will. Everyone has a voice whether you choose to support it or not is your individual choice. I will be signing…If BET can write checks for Real Husbands of Hollywood for the cast and crew of that horrible show I’m all for a Network helping to feed Lo’s Kids…Don’t Stop a Check in Da Hood!! I rather see Shawty Lo on TV than on a corner in Bankhead selling weed…
But I’m sure he’s a multi tasker
I signed it too! Let that man get his dough!
Called it, I knew that arrest was fake, it had all the signs and predictable timing of a stunt. I wasn’t going to watch the show anyway. I was never interested in him as an artist, so Im not really interested in his personal life either.
Everyone has a cousin (or knows someone with one) that has a gaggle of baby mamas so really he’s not that interesting to anyone until tax season.
LOL! So True. Common sense would tell him to go back to the table and change the title and concept. But, after hearing him speak..I feel a Flava Flav coming on. LOL Do we really need it? again
I will be supporting his endeavors to get the show back on the air.
LOL…I ain’t signing petitions 4 or against it but I DO wanna see…if it airs I will be watching…I was kind of disappointed when I heard they pulled the plug on it….if there is anything positive about this at least he takes care of his children….he got a point about that…
But, he’s making more…hunty Do we want to encourge and glorify this type of behavior…the young black male…have enough on them. js
I told you so LOL.
LOL!
Michelle, cops don’t usually let you get an up close of an arrest like that and Lo fux with some thorough lawyers so this would not have went down the way the blogs thought it did anyway.
I would have checked the show out if it wasn’t name All my babies momma and it revolved around his kids. He could have shown how he takes care of them and spent time with them. The show is ratchett with all the titles he gave them. Anyways most former entertainers who do reality tv are trying to make a comeback. So the fake picture with him getting arrested was perfect buzz.
This show better not get any airtime. I am so sick of the toxic that people "try" to feed us the viewers. He needs to put all this energy into teaching his KIDS and students how to protect themselves from stds and preventing pregnancy.
@ Time4Tea: I agree with you, I will also be supporting Shawty Lo’s chances of getting his show back on someone’s network!
To hell with these scorned women who have made their own decisions to lay up with no good ass men, who got them pregnant.
And now these scorned women choose to take their frustration out on Shawty Lo rather than that NASTY DICK BASTARD they call their "BABY DADDY!"
In the voice of @atlien BUT I DIGRESS! LOL!
Well said James the Jeweler….Well said, my sentiments exactly….
So because nobody wants to see your cousin on TV, we all scorned? LMAO…I mean, he HAS to be family the way you continue to go hard for him on every related post. No, your cuz still aint on TV and no, Michelle still ain’t acknowledging you or buying your jewelry-is that why you’re really so mad? Looks like you’re the one who is frustrated…Poor thang.
would Shawty Lo be considered one of those "Nasty Dick Bastards" tho?
LMAO!
@ James: Everyone on here who is against the show is not a "scorned baby mother". Some don’t have children and have never been pregnant. Just because someone has a difference of opinion from yours, that doesn’t give you free reign to stereotype that person.
THANK YOU! Because I am non of the above, but I have no desire to see this troll on TV and all his babies’ mommas.
My show is not about no negative?? That was two double negatives in one sentence.
#fail
@ Covey: Exactly.
Oh, i can’t wait for the show to air so i can sit in front of the tv with my son & show him this perfect example of what manhood is all about!
well he has a lotta kids to take care of..lol
Dazzz what the hell I’m talmbout! Shawty and his folks must read the blogs cuz a few a us was saying they should start their own and he did! Fuxkin rite! Now fa all a you that is so not into seeing the show, this post is definetly not fa u! Y’all already done bashed the show so if you wanna see it sign it! I don’t see the big deal! Lamb Chops n here crew went all out trying get the show off now he going all in to get it back! Shit if you had 12 kids to feed you a be trynna get a check to! Y’all support bad girls club(not 1bad bitch in sight), basketball wives(only 1 is married), rhoa, love and hip hop(unnecessary fighting)…and the list goes on! SIGN THIS SHIT!! I know I am! I’m not even gone front cuz wanna watch it and some a yall do too on tha L-O!
Yeah, I can commend him for taking care of his children, but if you are instilling in them "get money anyway possible, cause it’s everything", and "once you think a broad is yo girl, the rubber comes off" and want to expose them to all the fuckery that goes on on reality tv (I don’t care what he says, just by the context of the show, they ain’t gon focus on the positive) then he is really about a half a step above a deadbeat non existent father.
@ Shanda: Yep. It’s very disturbing to see the picture of his "children" holding wads of money. He’s raising his kids to be unnecessarily materialistic, and he’s setting them up to be robbed when they are out in public.
Somebody got Bobby Valentino yesterday, and he was in a Bentley.
[...] Reports Straight From The A: [...]
Sorry….but I hope his reality show never makes it to the our TV screens and if by chance Oxygen decide to air the show I won’t watch it. IMO it’s garbage. We got enough garbage reality shows on TV….from blacks and whites.
why not,u got all other kinds of bs on tv right about now,i hope it do come on..take that
First of all…none of those bytches ain’t shyt for laying down with this short bk burger hand having negro! Posting pics of dollars w/ yo kids is telling me you got this so…do what you do and keep making paper and babies.
No one cares about your plight…struggles and need for attention! Read a phucking book to your kids and teach your sons to wear condoms and your daughters to keep their legs closed!
SAy that @locktress. Ain’t one damn thing positive about this situation and our young black men already have enough negativeness thrown at them off tv. Another black man being irresponsible having 11 kids not married. A big NO.
This lil nigga is flaw as hell shawty! Out of all the things in this world to fake going to jail about. Let this fool tell it, he takes care of all his kids so that should’ve been a warning sign that this was a PR stunt. If he would’ve said the following (in the voice of a school you would see on tv late at night):
Expired Tag…
Suspended License…
Gun Charge…
Panhandling…
Being short…
Knowing Fabo…
I would’ve belived him
"Knowing Fabo"….Lawdamercy, I cannot stop laughing…
DTFL..co-sign!
Nope Oxygen got it right and there is no way he is hands on with all his children and have production time in the studio. Somebody is needing him and getting cut short.
The concept of the show is not horrible but the title is lol. As a matter of fact, it may help some of these blended families see that it doesn’t have to be constant drama. While these women do not hold hands and kumbaya, they’ve found a way to get along for the sake of the children. OAN I wonder if the petition starter started a petition to block Sister Wives or Big Love?
I don’t know if it’s all negative. I think it would be a great learning tool for me to sit with my sons and watch. I could have a coversation with them about how it’s not all fun and games for a REAL man to take care of this many children – it’s hard work. Depending on how this show is produced, it could show them that it’s not the best idea to have so many children because there is a lot of work that comes along with it, as well as all the potential baby mama drama. I think it’s real life and it is something that if more young black men saw and a dialogue could be started, then we may minimize so many of these incidents. I do think they need to change the man of the show though.
If ALLL these RATCHET REALITY CHICKS on VH1, TLC, TVone, BET, MTV, STYLE & E!, BRAVO can get a check for behaving like a BANSHEE MONKEY, then damn it why can’t SHAWTY "I NEVA HEARD OF A CONDOM" LO do the same? I want to see the show & the NUMEROUS SPINOFFS that will come from it! Hell that damn KARDASHIAN FAMILY is full of HOES givin birth out of wedlock & they just locked in a $40million deal!
wish u would stop posting about this…
Hell naw!
