Justin Bieber was 'banned to rap at Hip-Hop Awards'

Washington, Oct 19 (ANI): Dj Premier has disclosed that he banned Justin Bieber from taking part in a freestyle rap performance at the 'Bet Hip-Hop Awards'.

The legendary producer has revealed that he was forced to reject Bieber as he wasn't going to pen his own lyrics and was planning to spit a verse written by Ludacris.

"Justin Bieber even asked if he could do the cypher. Everybody was worried that it might mess up the integrity of Bet but I was like, '(As) long as he got a dope rhyme, let him spit'," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"But, then we heard, 'He wants Luda to write his rhyme.' I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no, no, no.' If you ain't (sic) writing your own rhyme, you can't do it. So, Justin, you gotta take a backseat on that one. Write your own rhymes, honey. You gotta call him honey on that one," he added.

The eager participant has previously adopted the rap moniker 'Shawty Mane' and showed off his rhyming skills on Chris Brown's first rap mixtape, 'Boy In Detention', earlier this year. (ANI)
