And there is no sign of LeToya performed at all! Many people keep asking why she would be asked anyway...well isnt it obvious? She currently has a new album coming out and is also about to release her second single. Last time LeToya came out there was ALOT of buzz about her and her album went to Number 1.
Giving an update on the story my boy: Hip Hop Prophet has reported more info:
Matthew is still putting the screws on BET, telling them to publicly deny the rumours about him blocking LeToya from the awards show, but BET decided to keep quiet for the time being because they're loving the publicity this has caused and they're hoping that all the drama will cause a boost in the ratings. It's also not locked in yet if LeToya will even get to do the pre-show so there's a good chance we won't even see her performing at all. Things can change though so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
This isn't the first time that Matthew has blocked LeToya from performances either, including a previous BET awards show. He's has a grudge against her for a decade now which began when LeToya and Latavia left Destiny's Child. I hear that he's been after her for years, paying off club promoters to cancel her shows, spreading lies about her throughout the industry and trying to discourage producers from working with her, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. All you Beyonce fans can rest easy though because Beyonce has nothing to do with this, so hold off on the heart attacks ok?
In fact LeToya is one of the only artists that has ever stood up to Matthew and managed to have a successful solo career, so I'm not about to sit back and let him play dirty just because of some ridiculous decade old grudge. Matty doesn't fool around though. When Kelly Rowland achieved international success with her hit "Work" she used it as an excuse to seek new management and legal representation, claiming that she needed somebody who understands the UK market better. Turns out Matthew didn't like being fired, so in turn he used his pull at Columbia to get her dropped shortly after, even though Kelly really wanted to stay with the label.
