Since appearing on the Nappy Boy All Stars Vol. 1 Mixtape, which is due to be released on March 7^th, the Chi-town bred MC has been accused of “jacking” the rhyme style of Young money princess, Nicki Minaj.

T-Pain, who is heavily criticized for his use of auto-tune, addressed the controversy in an interview stating,

“Shawnna's flow has not changed; she has been rapping like this for the past 8 years.”

Although the female MC has without a doubt had the sped up type of style made famous by her male counter-part Twista, it's the more feminine pitch and animated style that seems to throw fans for a loop.

Speaking of T-Pain, the Konvict artist and Nappy Boy CEO is not only signing artists and singing on hooks, the Floridian has also teamed up with Cartoon Network to pay homage to the biggest African American Spring Break tradition in history, Freak Nik.

The animated cartoon, entitled “Freak Nik,”  will be a one-hour special  that features voiceovers by heavyweights Big Boi, Snoop Dogg, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Bootsy Collins, and Cee-Lo.

Also supplying their voices for the animated party are Charlie Murphy, Christopher "Kid" Reid, DJ Drama, DJ Pooh, George Clinton, Kelis, Lil Wayne, Lil Jon, Poo Poo Man, Rick Ross, Sophia Fresh, William "Clip" Payne and Young Cash.

"Back in the '90s, Freaknik was Atlanta's version of the ultimate block party," T-Pain said in a statement. "It was Mardi Gras meets spring break at your crazy cousin's bachelor party and anything could happen.  A decade later, I'm bringing it back for people like me, who didn't get to experience it the first time around. We've recreated Freaknik's vibe and energy with amazing animation, new music and an all-star cast of characters."

“Freak Nik” is scheduled to air on Cartoon Network on March 7^th.

Peep the video below.

Teddy Pain's joined on the album with his Nappy Boy affiliates; One Chance, Young Cash, Sophia Fresh, Tay Dizm Travis McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes and Luda's old DTP counterpart, Shawnna.

As previously reported, the original concept to make an album of battling between Luda and DTP rapper Shawnna was scrapped reportedly due to Shawnna's new Nappy Boy records affiliation.

In addition to the tour, Luda will be celebrating his 10th year in the game with the release of his seventh album on March 9th, “The Battle Of The Sexes.” The album will include the hit single “How Low.”

Originally planned to be Luda vs. Shawna, her move to Nappy Boy, reportedly, negated her presence on the project and provided a window of opportunity for other female rappers to flex their muscle and represent for this gender.  Lil Kim, Eve, Trina and Nicki Minaj are some of the contenders that have decided to go against the rapper/actor.

Male rappers have stood up to come to the aid of Ludacris with artists such as Ne-Yo, Flo Rida and Plies being named as being part of the project, which will be released on March 16.

After recently dropping the visual for “How Low”, things are still undergoing the process before hitting the finish line as production is said to come from the likes of Swizz Beatz, Pharrell, Bangladesh and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.

For the male contenders out there, here's a reminder to some things you might be up against.  Study, study hard, and let the battle begin.  To the victor goes the riches.

Damn...Not too much lyrics can do to contest with that. Best of luck.

“In the studio with Pharrell my good people. And my n*gga has a mustache!! Ha!”

Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges is staying busy in the studio and still working on his Battle of The Sexes album.

As previously reported, Luda is still scheduled to drop a mixtape paying homage to his Conjure cognac line before his “Battle of the Sexes” album with Shawnna hits stores in March.

Now while putting the finishing touches on the project, Luda is bringing in Skateboard P to lend his talent to the final nproduct.

Ludacris made the announcement that Pharrell would be working on the project via his @LudaJuice Twitter page.

He tweeted to nearly 300,000 followers saying,

“In the studio with Pharrell my good people. And my n*gga has a mustache!! Ha!..”

He also posted a picture of P in the studio with a caption that read,

“Pharrell and his mustache working on Battle of the Sexes Album. Coming March 2010!”

Luda's current single “How Low” is currently burning up the charts.

It debuted on Billboard's “Hot 100” at number 13.

“It ain't no secret that lyrically I'm the reason Nappy Boy had to put me on their team.”

Now Shawnna's officially decided to speak up and clear up the rumors.

Shawnna has confirmed that she will be joining the ranks of Nappy Boy Entertainment after the release of her Battle of The Sexes album with Ludacris. Despite her upcoming move, she maintains that she and Luda are still on good terms and divulged details at a performance in Chicago saying,

"I know y'all been hearing a lot of T-Pain rumors...Shawnna ain't f*cking with Luda no more' and all that sh*t. I just want y'all to know that I'm still f*cking with Luda, that's my n*gga 100 percent man. We have Battle of the Sexes coming soon and I'm signing a new deal with T-Pain right there...I'm f*cking with two real good n*ggas in the industry so I can't help but win.”

No word on when she'll release something official for T Pain's team.

I'm glad somebody's happy to be nappy. Maybe now she can get some shine.
