While Chamilionaire accepted his MTV Video Music award for Best Rap Video last Thursday (August 31st), he revealed that he was to appear on the show to speak on racial profiling in relation to his hit, "Ridin."

"Yesterday, I was supposed to do an interview for '20/20' for the song 'Ridin', about racial profiling, and they canceled it, and that ruined my week, you know what I'm saying," the self-proclaimed Mixtape Messiah said during his acceptance speech. "I do want to say, this award just made my year. ... The best thing about this award - nobody can cancel this."

According to Chamillionaire's reps, the network has issued an apology to the Houston rapper. Cha's reps declined to comment further on the situation because they didn't want to "fuel the problem."

ABC told The NY Daily News that they cancelled the interview because the network decided not to run the racial profiling segment. Knowing that the episode would end up on the cutting room floor, the "20/20" producers didn't want to waste Chamillionaire's time

so he should get the, best rap song award...maybe I'm getting the award confussed, sounds to me that the award is for the "video"...the director is more responsible for teh way the video comes out, isn't he?


@Gas One, nah bruh, im a fan of chamillionaire aint no hatin, i just think there were way better rap videos that came back...ridin looked bad, maybe again im gettin the award confussed n its based more on the lyrics then the video....doesnt make sense tho
