Em had issues with BET?

Sorry if this is common knowledge or something, but I was just curious and looking for Obie's first week numbers for Cheers and came across this article:

It's from '07. Not really relevant except for this excerpt:

His Akon-assisted lead single “Snitch” was banned by MTV because of it’s “stop snitching” message, and BET nixed the song due to Trice’s affiliation with Eminem, who had personal issues with the station at the time.

What? (again sorry if this is common knowledge - I have no idea) And I know he did the whole surprise appearance at the awards with busta thing in '06 so I'm .

Also, never did find those 1st week numbers

EDIT: *revelations* was it over the MJ thing? if so, that was more short-lived than i thought.

Never knew this. I don't know when the BET/Em bs stopped, because the problems with them & the Just Lose It video were in the fall of 04. 3 laters later to still have a beef with a TV station doesn't seem right, but I could be wrong.

Weird....

probably the MJ thing, when they stopped playing "Just Lose It".
