According to Jeff Dixon, Co-CEO of DTP Records, Shawnna has parted ways with the label. She was not dropped says Dixon, but left “to do her own thing,” according to SOHH.
There will be an official press conference regarding the matter on Thursday, April 26th. Also during the press conference, DTP will announce the return of a “familiar face” to its ranks.
Shawnna will still be involved in the upcoming DTP album, Strength In Numbers, which will surprisingly include Chingy as well. The album hits stores in July.
Peter Flaherty, President of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), plans to support a plan which will pressure General Electric into disclosing details of its charitable donations today, April 25th.
According to XXL, Flahtery claims that Rev. Jesse Jackon‘s newfound stance against hip hop is hypoctritical. As a result, Flahtery would like to know how much mone has been donated from General Electric to Jackson and The Rainbow/Push
“Maybe it’s Jackson who is changing his tune,” said Flahtery. “In 2002, the National Legal and Policy Center asked Jackson to disinvite from his Wall Street conference a performer known as Slick Rick whose songs are characterized by vulgar and offensive lyrics. We even pointed to a song titled ‘Treat Her Like a Prostitute.‘”
