A yet-to-air reality show documenting a rapper, who has fathered eleven children by ten different women, has been slammed by critics who have branded it 'disgusting' and 'negative'.

All My Babies' Mamas, set to air this spring on the Oxygen network, follows Carlos 'Shawty Lo' Walker, 36, as he navigates family life in an affluent suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

But after a preview of the one-hour, fly-on-the-wall hit the internet thousands of viewers called for it to be scrapped, with many suggesting it plays on racial stereotypes.

Controversial: Rapper Shawty Lo, pictured with eight of his 11 children (seated) and seven of the women that he fathered them with, as well as his 19-year-old girlfriend (left), are all set to star in a new TV show

A Change.org petition, which has more than 20,000 signatures, states that the show 'stereotypes and demeans black children, mothers and dads'.

New York-based Sabrina Lamb, who launched the initiative explains: 'This is not just an attack on African-American parents and children....but all parents and children.

'As dysfunctional and violent as so-called reality shows are, could you ever imagine a one hour spectacle where 11 children are forced to witness their 10 unwed mothers clamor for financial support, emotional attention and sexual reward from Shawty-Lo, the apathetic ‘father’?'

Oxygen released a 13-minute trailer promoting the show in December, before production had been completed.

In the clip, which has has now disappeared from YouTube, Mr Walker is seen talking about managing his music career and the struggle of being a father from the confines of his roomy eight-bedroom mansion.

'How does a guy like me have ten baby mamas eleven kids? It’s heaven,' he boasts in one scene.

'I had a lot of girls... They was in love and, I probably was too. And it just happened'

And in another he explains: 'I had a lot of girls... They was in love and, I probably was too. And it just happened.'

The trailer also shows him as he fails to remember the names of his eleven teenage children.

In an interview with Essence about her petition Ms Lamb said: 'In the clip I saw, Lo couldn't even remember the names of all of his 11 children. This is not funny to me. What's funny about this?'

:rofl2:

A show that actually depicts African Americans and they want to ban it from running.
 
This guy's a millionaire. At least he supports the kids unlike the millions of white redneck pigs like you who desert their baby mama's and their five or six snot nosed kids and skips out on paying child support.

You've been warned about revealing to much of your personal family life, on the boards; but did your siblings ever collect on that unpaid child support?
 
Here's the way I see it. Any man who can please EIGHT women to the point where they can all gather together and not rip out each others eyes and/or his eyes out has to have some magic. I mean it's unusual for a current wife and an ex-wife to get along. Here we have EIGHT! And every one has had a child with him.

At the very least this guy could get a book contract.

Is there anything in my posts that would lead you to that conclusion or are you just trying to be cute?

You wrote, "Just more evidence of the degradation of our society", so I'm trying to figure out what you see as degrading. If children weren't involved what, exactly, is degrading? The fact he had 8 girlfriends? Over the years I'm sure I had at least 8 girlfriends but no children by them. Is that what you consider degrading, the fact he had 8 girlfriends? Or the fact they had children?
 
Please, Apple. It isn't magic, they get to be on TV.

Notice how they're right. It plays directly into negative stereotypes, so much so the thread is made by a racist.

When I posted the comment, I wasn't really sure that The Dud and Howey were related; but since The Dud groaned, it must be proof positive.

Well I don't necessarily think it is a good thing to glorify having multiple children with multiple mothers regardless how much money he makes. This has nothing to do with his color and you merely use it as a smokescreen to try to keep others from discussing the immorality of it all.

No sensible person thinks he can be an adequate father to all of those children.

But you hide behind his race because it helps you avoid difficult subjects

(Excerpt) Warren Steed Jeffs. Warren Jeffs is the son of Rulon Jeffs. His father, the leader of the FLDS Church at his death, was survived by 19 or 20 wives and had about 60 children. No information is available about Warren Jeffs on the FLDS website, although according to the BBC Storyville programme "Leaving the Cult", he has 31 daughters…..One of Jeffs' statements after his father's death was directed at high-ranking officials in the FLDS Church: "I won't say much, but I will say this—hands off my father's wives." Addressing the recent widows, he said, "You women will live as if Father is still alive and in the next room." Within a week, Jeffs had married all but two of his father's wives; (End)
