Publicist: Atlanta Rapper Shawty Lo Does NOT HAVE AIDS

: We know that y'all heard the rumors about rapper Shawty Lo (formerly of d4L) just like we here at MediaTakeOut.com did. There's been a lot of talk for the past few weeks that rapper Shawty Lo had the monster. Well, now Shawty's people have come out to address those rumors.

Here's the official statement from Shawty Lo's people:

After much public speculation and most of it untrue, it became apparent to publicly state that Carlos ‘Shawty Lo’ Walker is not infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. He does however suffer from Diabetes, a serious condition that affects millions of people, particularly those of color. Despite occasional set backs, Shawty Lo continues his rigorous work schedule in support of his debut album Units In The City. He appreciates the outpouring of concern and support for his health but he is doing fine.
We just gonna hope they telling the truth and keep it pushin ....

Not to mention that if you think he's gray in that pic, you should have seen him in person...he used to look like walking death until his paper got straight and he could afford the necessary medications...no chic in the A (with at least half a brain) is doing that n i g g a. Hello!

JafeeGee

MrCBR1000

@ sexykamryn and Phatakat

Word ...that s bad business. He do have a look I just couldnt put my finger on. Hope for his sake its not true. You know these groupies outside of the A wont have a clue.


luscious_vanilla

I never heard the rumor that he did have aids...??

But you still can't be too careful. Can't tell just by looking at people if they have an STD or not.

Protect yourself at all times!!



chocolatdancer

Hope it's not true, for stat reasons, but just because he burning everybody doesn't mean he have HIV or AIDS


smokesomtinbytch

Rarestgem

badnews

STRAIGHTGANGSTA

FOR ALL YOU AZZ*HOE-S SYAING EAZY HAD AIDS.....

NONE OF HIS CHILDREN HAD IT!!

HIS BLACK WIDOW WIFE TAMIKA DIDNT HAVE IT! !

NONE OF HIS BABY MOMMAS HAD HIV OR AIDS..

SO WHATS LEFT...HE WAS KNOCKED OFF AND AIDS WAS A COVER UP..........LIKE DJ SCREW & PIMP C and more to come...........


badnews

lol @ the eazy e consirasy... so who killed him?


Lil_Bre24

all he needed was sum skittles!


uwannaride

@straightganster. IT'S FOOLS LIKE YOU THAT HELP WIPE OUT WHOLE COMMUNITIES. EDUCATE YOURSELF STUPID! MAGIC HAS THE VIRUS AND HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN DID NOT OBTAIN THE VIRUS. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS.....PEOPLE PLEASE, DO NOT PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH YOUR AND OTHER'S HEALTH. THIS DISEASE IS FOR REAL AND NOT A JOKE! IT HAS EVEN BEEN SHOWN TO BE PASSED TO KIDS BY PEOPLE CHEWING THEIR FOOD FOR THEM. LOOK IT UP AND EDUCATE YOURSELVES. DON'T FALL FOR SOME "GANGSTA BULLSHYT"! IF YOU DON'T DO IT FOR YOURSELVES AT LEAST DO IT FOR THE ONES THAT CARE. THINK ABOUT YOUR FAMILIES, THINK ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...DO IT FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!


STRAIGHTGANGSTA

@uwannaride

MAJIC JOHNSON IS CURED OF AIDS, YOU STUPID B*I*T*C*H!!

Let KANY WEST tell you that..

Then his mother all of a sudden died.. It was from the anesthesia but the news hasnt blasted that have they....

quote from the fake fool.

EVEN BEEN SHOWN TO BE PASSED TO KIDS BY PEOPLE CHEWING THEIR FOOD FOR THEM. )))

SEE HOW HE CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.. HE SAYS THAT IT CANT GET PASSED TO CHILDREN AND WIFE BUT NOW IT CAN PASS THROUGH FOOD...

EAZY-E was killed! ! !


STRAIGHTGANGSTA

I along with a lot of other people believe he was snuffed. If you research an old article from The Vibe magazine with Michael Jackson on the cover, Bizzy Bone let it ride in their.

Sug Knight said it on Jimmy Kimmel.. Click the link to see it on YOUTUBE. The sychronization is off but if you turn the volume up, HE SAYS IF YOU WANT TO KILL SOMEONE, YOU CAN TAKE AIDS FROM A DEAD MAN AND INJECT IT IN SOMEBODY...YOU KNOW THE EAZY-E THING.

MC EIHT said in a song...YOU CANT BELIEVE IT LIKE AIDS with EAZY.

When will you stupid NEGROES see that they got it in for rap music..

ALL THE DUDES AND WOMEN GETTING LOCKED UP FOR BS. SET UP BY FRIENDS and HIP-HOP POLICE! ! ! ALL OF THESE BLACK CELEBS catching the FLU...

THEY GOT IT IN FOR US...

A LOT OF BLACK WOMEN GETTING OVARIAN CANCER, FIBROIDS, BREAST CANCER AND NOW THEY ARE THE HIGHEST STD carriers...

OPEN YOUR EYES...

OH YEAH MTO is in on the SH_IT ALSO...


sexe757

Contracting AIDS and HIV is serious and everyone should use caution.

There are many people and celebrities with the disease so for all of yall groupies..........WATCH OUT!!!


sexe757

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!!!!!!!!!

"Steve Sucks! We want Doug Banks back!" [link to external website removed]



STRAIGHTGANGSTA

SUGE NIGHT SAID EAZY-E was INJECTED WITH AIDS.....

[link to external website removed]

[link to external website removed]


stop_the_stupidity

He got it.


vanilla_one

I hope this is not true.

lmao @ the dummies with their pictures posted from the "A" confirming he has it, as if him or his peeps don't read MTO! smh

when ya'll asses turn up missing, THANK MEDIATAKEOUT!!


PhatKat

@vanilla_one Sweetie, it's not a secret in the A. His publicist didn't make the statement for the A, cuz everybody in the A has known about it long before he was "Shawty Lo." And turn up missin where...girl please, the real gangstas in the A are NOT RAPPIN! Believe that. Come down here during a Shawty-Lo event and count the amount of A-Town chicks NOT lookin at him googly-eyed! My homegirl worked for the state at the Health Department...when a female (or male) goes to the Health Department and is diagnosed with an STD, they have to give a list of people they've slept with, or the person they believe they contracted the disease(s) from...and then the Health Department contacts all the people on the list so that they can come in to be treated. She said there's so many rappers and singers on there it's unbelievable. That's why when u come to the A you'll notice we don't go stupid over seeing celebrities, cuz God only knows what fire's brewin in their ballz!


vanilla_one

lmao @phatkat

hun, I'm grown, so me going to any event to see a rapper is unheard of. I just find it fuk'd up for other people to put him on blast like that, did he actually make a public announcement in the A that he in fact has HIV? I doubt it, so all these are assumptions until it is a proven fact. And if there are any females in the A going around saying this, how do they know? Did he give it to them? How do they know it was him that infected them with it? Just like the woman that slept with him, they are the very same groupies sleeping around with other celebs. I guess you chicks in the A wouldn't be all "googley eyed" over him because it's already in ya'll heads that he has it! That's like you coming to NY and you see a rapper that we all heard that has the "monster" now would you think the females here would be looking at him all googly eyed? No because we already know the deal with him, but I wouldn't be on a gossip site confirming a rumor about him neither.


HauteCoutureDiva

L.O., L.O., They know, they KNOWWWW! *I haven't heard any of these rumors MTO, so thanks for starting them all over again*.


PuertoRicanMami

Wish him the best. People need to quit their lying...


Kandiladi

HELLO!! Wrap it up!!


moneyismybitch

He might be the worst rapper eva!


ReggieBushGurl87

I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BOUT HIM HAVING AIDS TILL I READ THIS


DaRealiss

Errrybody down here in ATL know that [EXPLETIVE] got sun'thin...I'm not sayin' AIDS but that [EXPLETIVE] look bad tho...LOL


YOUNGHECTIC

they said that about dude when d4L first came out. i hope it aint true, nobody deserves to have that except the devils that generated it in the american military labs! they created hiv for black population control!


foxyloxy2000

NEVER HEARD THE RUMOR..BUT I HAVE HEARD HIS MUSIC, AND IT'S VERY WACK!


africanprincess

WHO THE HELL IS SHAWTY LO?


AtlChick

Oh my damn,Lo needs to stop. SexyKamryn is telling the truth! He is infamous around ATL as having AIDS.No chicks will fool with him except teenagers who get excited by a booming car with rims and chicks who haven't heard about him.From Riverdale to Decatur,he is known for having AIDS and it's been around for YEARS.Dude is a an urban legend,a cautionary tale around the A.

I grew up in Bowen Homes and the cult that ran with him aka D4L was persona non grata. Lo would have a chick,tire of her and pass them on to his boys. All of them might have AIDS because they willingly went behind him.They practically worshipped him and acted like he was Jesus. He went around Bowen Homes with papers stating he had diabetes and high blood pressure for YEARS. Everyone in the A knows he has Aids.He looks okay now but if ya'll could;'ve seen him before he blew up,dude looked like a stiff wind would carry him away.



AtlChick

LMAO at the poster who said we would turn up missing!

I'll call the Shop Boys,after all he paid them money to make them leave him alone!

LMAO!


getitright4

who cares....he can't rap for sh*t...


Cherrie830

L o L o dey know dey know


KEEYSHAJ50

YALL NEED TO LEAVE HIM ALONE GOD BLESS U LO DO YA THANG BABY ;)


halfapino

*yawn*


ClassyGeorgiaPeach

I hate to say a thing like this, but there is a good chance he probably does have AIDS. Don't think these celebrities ain't human. With the amount of groupies they mess with at any given time and the caliber of women they go for, what do you expect? HIV/AIDS is killing many of us off in the black community. Why would a rapper (who is known for screwing around with the fastest women) be immune to that? WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE - AIDS IS REAL!!


mtohater

THIS STORY IS A WASTE OF INTERNET SPACE


stefjay1972

He say he got them kinda of guns like T.I. or does he mean the other kind of guns like.....AIDS. Let's just hope he doesn't have either illness cuz no one needs to have an illness hanging out with Lil Wayne. It's Poop stains! Dey no


CuteBigGirl

Alrite and we dont care ?


huhduh10

sexykamryn Flag post I LOVE YOU LOS, BUT YES THE HELL YOU DO. BITCHES JUST DON'T CARE. YOU STILL [EXPLETIVE] THEM. GO TO BANKHEAD AND ASK ANYBODY ABOUT CARLOS AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT [EXPLETIVE] BEEN BURNING FOR YEARS. THERE'S NO NEED TO LIE.

girl you might just be telling the truth , if it was said and more than likely it's trye , i have worked with aids victim and they came in black and white , you can tell fr the hair ,skin, the amount of meds there are taking , sweating , coughing , there are so many ways to tell , I once knew this guy and was a good chef and my friend refuse to eat this meal he brought over, i taste it it was good lol , but after i found out he had it , but fr his hair i thought for a black man it was stright as hell even strighter than my perm, my spiritual mother , well her son had taht gray look too and he was a ex drug user , and he had taht spotted look on him an di ask him sup with the spots, his words was these vitamins i'm taking are makeing me sick , and lol and behole he died 2 yrs back fr aids . every one is a suspect.i feel sorry the young ones coming up


huhduh10

oops typos like crazy


sdott313

THE PEEPS FROM THE A IS SAYING HE HAS IT, SO GOOD LUCK TO HIM, AIDS IS THE KISS OF DEATH AND WHILE I WOULD NOT WISH IT ON MY WORST ENEMY I PITY THE FOOLS WHO SLEEP AROUND WITHOUT PROTECTION LIKE THEY ARE INVISIBLE TO THIS DISEASE.


NeoWoman

I keep thinking about moving to Atlanta, but stats point that there are two many men on the Down Low, we outnumber men like 3 to ten, Atlanta is the number one STD Capital of the world.We need to wake up and understand that having sex is a huge responsibilty.I don'y understand why can't people just have an exclusive relationship with one person and call it a day, I just don't get it.


ClassyGeorgiaPeach

huhduh10 - What happens to their hair? Does it get straight and thin? How can you tell it from a perm??


Don_Tezy

Dun dun it all, dun dun it all ,dun dun it all, dun dun it allllll ... mention bankhead and acknowledge me ...



trice216

what's up with that jake as* trying to be first thing get a freaking life yo mamma tied of you running up bills get a job cause you got to be at home all day waiting for people to post uff to even be on that ewwwww!


PhatKat

@vanilla_one. I see some of your point...but at the end of all ends I'll have to just agree to disagree. I said nothing about "at" an event, I said "during"...(yes, it's that's specific and that thirsty sometimes; young girlz get dressed like they're going to the very club these celebs will be at when it's only 12 in the pm and they're only going to the mall). I guess to those out-of-town it would be an unconfirmed rumor...in the "A" it is what it is. I feel like he put himself on blast by having his publicist release any statement, because people outside of the A, don't know anything about it...and people in the A aren't posting bulletins or puttin dude on blast in the street. And it didn't even start with a female knowing about it...it came from his camp. These A Town rappers stay having camps that tell all their business...I didn't hear about it from one of my homegirls...I heard it from one of his homeboys...I just feel like it was only a buzz in the streets, and by him releasing a public statement, he made it a billboard.


Nails

Black men and women need to stop spreading these diseases. I don't know of him, but what I do know is that this world is crazy today, be careful.


wendsts47

Not a hooker? Only God will believe him. Not long ago, I've seen him at the celebrity site millionairecupid.co/m seeking girls. And he has stayed there for months...


jersey814

MISS JONES FROM HOT97 IN NEW YORK REPORTED THIS STORY ABOUT A YEAR 1/2 AGO WHEN D4L WAS POPPIN IN NEW YORK. SHE CONFIRMED FROM SOMEONW IN THE ATLANTA, THAT HE WAS ON AMERICA'S MOST WANTED FOR INFECTED FEMALES WITH THE DISEASE. PEOPLE PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH AND STOP BIENG CLOSED MINDED ABOUT THINGS.


TinaLynnLove

I never heard this rumor either. But I did wonder what was wrong with his facial. hummmm...Well you just never know.


Rahdawun

LOL WHO CARES....BUT DONT THAT [EXPLETIVE] LOOK JUST LIKE TAYE DIGGS? LMFAOOOOO


tempertease

kill-joy

i'm glad he doesn't have aids but no one really cares about this dude..he's an awful rapper


cat4everrr

you can't tell a person is hiv infected by lookng at them. my sister carries the virus and i assure you that none of you could tell she's infected by looking at her. i'm sure 90 percent of the dudes on this page would infact try to holla at her


jakey_natey

@ THE TOPIC @ 2SEXXY = THANX HUN...I'M WITH & WITHOUT U...I'M FROM THE A, HAVE HEARD THE RUMORS...BUT HONESTLY DON'T GOVE A SH*T EITHER WAY IT GOES...I LOVE THE MAN'S MUSIC, I'M A FAN OF LO's, BUT ALL THAT AND I DON'T CARE TO OR HAVE EVER DESIRED TO SLEEP WITH HIM...WITH HE WAY THINGS ARE 2DAY HE MAY HAVE IT AND HE MAY NOT HAVE IT...EITHER ONE IS NOT GONNA STOP ME FROM LOVING HIS MUSIC...IF IT'S 2008 AND SOME OF U STILL TREAT HIV/AIDS LIKE THE COOTIES; THEN SHAME ON U[SPAM]!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goey00

Indicating someone is infected with any type of disease is a serious accusation; but more importantly when does the media draw the freaking line to an artists privacy?

Anyway Shawty Lo "Dey Know" is a BANGER!!


Chocol8gyrl

Hello...they know!!


greyeyedchyck

YES EVERYBODY IN THE 'A' KNOWS THAT SHAWTY LO HAS "THE MONSTER". IT HAS BEEN FLOATING AROUND FOR YEARS.

AND LIKE PHATKAT AND ATLCHICK SAID. . . IF YOU WOULD HAVE SAW HIM A FEW YEARS AGO YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGH . . . "D/A/M/N DUDE IS SICK AS HE/LL OR YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT HE WAS ABOUT TO DIE. PERIOD.

I MEAN IM GLAD HE GOT SOME MONEY NOW AND CAN AFFORD THE PROPER MEDICATION OR THE HIGH END MEDICATION ONLY CELEBRITIES CAN AFFORD LIKE MAGIC SO HE CAN NURSE THE ILLNESS BETTER.

BUT IT IS TRUE

SHAWTY LO . . . . . .

HAS . . . . HIV . . . . . OR . . . . . . AIDS (BY NOW) ! ! ! ! ! ! !

ATL ! ! ! !

ATL ! ! ! !


sexychoclit
