Yesterday I learned exclusively that rapper Shawty Lo got back together with his baby mama, Ecreia Perez, who, if you recall, ran afoul of the law last October when she was caught carrying a loaded handgun into an Atlanta courthouse.

According to my source, Shawty Lo, 35, dumped Ecreia, 28, last year after he learned that she was cheating on him with a d-boy over on Boulevard. In fact, Ecreia was attending her lover’s court date last June when she was arrested for carrying that loaded pistol and a stun gun disguised as a cigarette lighter in his purse.

You may also recall that before he dumped Ecreia, Shawty proposed to her after 10 years and one daughter together. But all of that went out the window once his boys got wind of Ecreia’s extracurricular activities.

I’m told that Shawyty, real name Carlos Walker, is a bit sensitive and he couldn’t take the constant teasing from his crew about his fiancee. So he went back to local rapper Jai Jai, whom he met when she was only 16.

“Something happened that I found out,” said Carlos in an interview with MTV. “Me, being a man, you just can’t deal with certain stuff, put up with certain stuff. So, you know, it’s better for us to separate. I can’t talk about it. That my daughter’s mother. I got much respect for her. … (But) yeah, I’m single right now.”

My source tells me that Carlos and Ecreia are making beautiful music together in the studio where Shawty is working on his next album. Despite rumors of Shawty’s rampant cheating, they are back together for the children’s sake. Carlos has 9 other kids from previous relationships.

Remember where you heard it first!
