Warner Bros Pimping The Kids
Warner Bros Tried To Make A 14 Year Old
Girl Sing
Sexually Explicit Song To Increase Sales

14-year-old KeKe Palmer
There is a shocking, but believable article on the What About
Our Daughters web site regarding 14 year old “Akeelah and the
Bee” star KeKe Palmer. After the success of the film she was
signed to a recording contract with Atlantic/Warner Bros. But then they did the unthinkable.
To drum up sales, they
wanted a 14-year-old girl to sing the salacious song, “Freak
Like Me” by Adina Howard. The song is borderline pornographic. Here’s a sample of the lyrics Warner Bros wanted
a 14-YEAR-OLD TO SING:
"Freak Like Me"
let me lay it on the
line
i got a little freakiness inside
and you know that the man
has got to deal with it...
chorus:
i want to freak in the morning
a freak in the evening just like me
i need a roughneck nig*a
that can satisfy me just for me
if you are the kind of man
cuz i'm that kind of girl
i got a freaky secret, everybody sing
cuz we don't give a damn about a thing
cuz i will be a freak
until the day until the dawn
and we can pump, pump
all through the day to the early morn
come on and i will take you
around the hood on a gangsta lean
cuz we can pump, pump
any time of day it's all good for me
Boy, you're moving
kind of slow
you got to keep it up
now there you go
there's just one thing that a man must know
mm-hmm
i'm packing all the flavor you need
i got you shook up on your knees
cuz it's all about the dog in me

Somebody at Warner needs to get kicked in the
teeth. Show of hands, how many of you would want your 14 year old daughter
singing inappropriate music like that?
Imagine if
Warner CEO Edgar Bronfman jr. had a daughter and
someone offered her a record deal at 14, dressed her up
provocatively and made her sing “Freak Like Me.”
Edgar and his wife Clarissa.
Why don't you make your wife sing "Freak Like Me." She looks young enough
to be your daughter
Oh that wouldn’t be
acceptable at all, now would it. Well, don’t do to other people’s
children the things you wouldn’t want done to yours.
Yet another reason to boycott Warner Bros. It is vile that they would seek to exploit a child like this.
It’s just disgusting.

Did Atlantic Records Attempt to Engage in Musical Child Porn? -
Keke ("Akeelah and the Bee") Palmer's Story
Sunday, October 28, 2007
- I was contacted by Paul Porter from
Industry Ears about a month ago about how Atlantic Records tried
to get Keke Palmer of the “Akeelah and the Bee” to rerecord
Adina Howard's “Freak Like Me”.
I did not post about this at the
time because I suggested that Paul offer Keke's story to one of
the major Black entertainment blogs such as Concrete Loop,
Sandra Rose, Bossip or Crunk& Disorderly.
I specifically told
Paul to contact Natasha over at Young Black & Fabulous because I
can remember several times when Natasha has said nice things
about Keke's red carpet pics.
So I held off writing about it so
they could shop it around as a web exclusive to one of the blogs
that can get as many hits as I get in an entire day, in one
hour. The story has now been posted on so I am assuming they
didn't take my advice so I am free to post about it here.
I want
you to read this letter Paul sent me from Keke and her mother,
Sharon and then y'all know moi will have some candid reflections
to offer. I hope Paul forwards this post to Keke.
