Mathew Knowles is forcing BET to make a difficult decision: Beyoncé or LeToya Luckett?
There have been whispers that Mathew Knowles has been threatening to pull Bey from the BET Awards if LeToya is scheduled to perform on the show. Well, The Hip Hop Prophet has confirmed those rumors are true.
Rumors began circulating after a source claiming to be close to the Knowles sent a letter dishing the dirt on Mathew’s alleged threat. Since hitting the ’Net, the letter has been censored to protect the innocent.
“Mathew made [name censored] threaten BET to remove Beyonce from the BET Awards line-up if LeToya were to perform on that same stage that same night,” the anonymous insider wrote. “It is sad to say but I think [name censor] will win over LeToya's management because Beyonce is a guarantee to bring the ratings up for the show. In business we have to deal with shady politics but this is going too far.”
Later, another insider came forward to back up those claims and confirm that Papa Knowles did give the network an ultimatum.
This puts BET in a very difficult position because their awards shows have always featured the biggest acts and those that are still on the come up.
But fans can have their say about LeToya’s fate for awards night by signing an online petition.

How do you feel about Chris Brown performing during michael jackson tribute at BET awards? There's a rumor going around that during the BET awards tonight, Chris Born will perform alongside other performers during a tribute to Michael Jackson. Do you think it's a good idea to have him perform tonight?
Beyonce - great singer, but I very much would like it to be associated with shady politics. I like songs that are sung LeToya and I support her position in this confrontation.
has anyone seen the lineup for the bet awards? it's pure Crap
It's 5 rappers(soulja boi?? fabalous??WTF) two MALE singers, a christian group(mary mary) and Beyonce as the lone female(I'm sur it's a coincidence no other female singer wanted to promoted at one of the biggest awards shows but her*rollseyes*). Where's Ciara even?
If yall wanna save bet from itself, sign this twition to get Letoya on the show. This show will be horrible with this line up.

Mr. Knowles needs to grow up and get a life, LaToya is soing her thing and is not bothering him or Beyonce, they are two very different and talented artist and he is really being petty,
Alright Mr. Knowles, Let's Stop Being Pietty!
It should not matter if Latoya Luckett is performing or not!
That Destiny Childs drama is the past...keyword here past. Let's stop trying to hinder someone elses shine for our own glorified bs.
That's it!
