Apparently, BET is not feeling the message conveyed in [lastfm]Teairra Mari[/lastfm]‘s song “Sponsor” so they banned it from it being aired on their station. Check out the details…

According to [lastfm]Teairra Mari[/lastfm]‘s people…

I was informed that 106 and Park, a source for African Americans to promote their music, have banned [lastfm]Teairra Mari[/lastfm]‘s song Sponsor and other projects from surfacing on their channel. No one else will report because they don’t want to put it on blast. I feel bad for the underdogs because they are not given a fair chance and its even worse when your own kind won’t promote you. What’s bad about Sponsor that overshadows any work that Lil Wayne, Ludacris, and many others have showcased on BET? Why is it, do you think, that booty shaking and such is allowed but a video by a woman encouraging others to make it is bad. Why is it that Lil Wayne can perform “Every Girl In the World” with his daughter on stage, but women artists have to be “appropriate”. I understand if they would at least let Teairra come on the show to explain the concept behind the song. It just seems like a shady business where people who have made it have certain control over those that haven’t

 through shady connections.

He put them low profiles on my car
He treats me to a pedi plus manicure
Anything I ask for from my sponsor he go and bu-bu-bu-buy buy
A baby blue madalion I just got
My feet they speak italian walk so hot
I tell him baby thanks alot
My sponsor he go and bu-bu-buy buy

[Hook:]
He ain’t no square
He just likes to share
In love with a tip for throwin hundreds in the air
Throw some over here
And then he drop the lou drop the lou in my lap

[Chorus:]
Yeaaah (and all my ladies say)
Yeaaah (the go go girls say)
Yeaaah (hey hey)
I got myself a sponsor
Yeeaaah (to fill up a drank for me)
Yeeaaah (to fill up a tank for me)
Yeeaaah (to put something in the bank for)
I got myself a sponsor
