Clearly 2011 is not the year for Papa Knowles. First Mathew Knowles loses his daughter as a client, then he gets sued by the TV One network for breaching an exclusive deal over the Essence Music Festival. Now Radio One (TV One’s sister company) is pulling music by all and any artists currently signed to or associated with Knowles’ music company, Music World Music. 
According to an employee at Radio One, the head woman in charge, chairperson and founder, Cathy Hughes, is NOT having it with Mr. Knowles or any act currently associated with him:
“All Radio One personnel were told to pull all Music World artists out of rotation immediately and indefinitely! We were told that the mandate came straight from Ms. Hughes and that there would be ramifications for anyone playing or mentioning a Music World artist or song on air…Radio One owns at least 12 gospel stations across the country – that’s the majority. It’s hard for artists to sell CD’s without radio airplay! Right now Music World definitely isn’t getting any from Radio One.” [Source]
With Radio One serving as a valuable tool for promoting gospel artists, this basically puts Knowles’ popular gospel artists like Juanita Bynum, Trin-I-Tee 5:7, Vanessa Bell Armstrong and BET’s Sunday’s Best newest winner Amber Bullock at a loss.
