BET Bans Willy Northpole's "No. 1 Side Chick" Video, "'Every Girl' Can Get Played & We Can't?"

Ludacris protege Willy Northpole has reportedly had his new "#1 Side Chick" video banned from BET due to the controversial sexual subject matter.

The rapper's manager, Tiffany Johnson, has confirmed BET's decision and questioned why videos like Drake's "Best I Ever Had" were able to be aired on the network.

Johnson says BET didn't like how the video portrays a man in a relationship with two women. Johnson says there's no anger in Northpole's camp toward BET, but the channel's decision "Kind of hurt, because they've shown a lot worse," she says. "I don't know how they can say we're portraying something unwholesome, because the video ends with the man marrying one of the women. I feel our video is tasteful. We were kind of offended. My first thought was 'Every Girl in the World' can get played, and we can't?".
