If Ludacris is still pissed at Pepsi for firing him because of his lyrics and then hiring less-than-squeaky-clean Ozzy Osbourne — “‘a man who bit the head off an animal onstage [and] who has an MTV show where you have to bleep out every other word’” — as his replacement, then he’s really not going to be happy with Ebony magazine.
The Don Imus-fueled controversy over misogynistic rap lyrics surrounds Ebony magazine’s recent decision to pull rapper Ludacris from the cover of its June issue on “the New Black Fathers” and replace him with actor, Boris Kodjoe, reports Journal-isms. “Something has changed in America in the last few weeks,” Bryan Monroe, editorial director of Ebony and Jet magazines, told Journal-isms, without disclosing the identity of the rapper. As president of the National Association of Black Journalists, Monroe led the movement to have Imus fired. “I think the media is being called to account in these areas,” Monroe said.
To quote Ludacris, “Life is unfair.” But really. I hate to sound like a puritan here, and I’m sure Luda’s a good father, but isn’t Boris Kodjoe a better choice for the cover of a black fathers issue, anyway? He’s married to Nicole Ari Parker, the mother of his two children, and…well, isn’t that reason enough?

[…] Post A Comment You can say what you will about the Ebony Boris Kodjoe vs. Ludacris issue — I certainly have — but as much as Boris may be a more ideal version of the African American father, Ludacris […]
