This just goes to show you star power means nothing if you don’t have the talent to back it up. There’s no denying this artist is an AMAZING singer but as far as rapping goes…it’s a lane they should stay away from, and the BET Cyphers producer and coordinator DJ Premier made that loud and clear. The legendary DJ denied this crooner a spot, especially because they wanted another Cypher artist, Ludacris, to write their rap! What part of the game is that?! Find out who below!

Preemo denied none other than JUSTIN BIEBER! The young singer, who previously released online videos of him rapping as his alter ego “Shawty Mane,” was told N-O after it was revealed he wanted Luda to write for him. “I was like yo, as long as he got a dope rhyme, let him spit. But then we heard he wants Luda to write his rhyme. I was like oh no, no, no, no. If you ain’t writing your own rhyme, you can’t do it, so Justin, you gotta take a backseat. Write your own rhymes, homie.” Looks like you might want to get to work on your writing skills, Biebs!
