A reality show that may never air, and I hope it doesn’t, since its far worse than anything that will ever happen on “Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo”:

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.

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’?’
