It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Bow Wow and Ciara were the “it” teen couple of music.
Covering a number of Urban and teen-skewed publications, rumors of the duo’s dating life were hushed when their hit ‘Like You’ dominated the Billboard Hot 100 in 2005 and confirmed they were indeed an item.
Fast forward a decade after the two went their separate ways, they are both parents and seem to have left their time together far in their rearview. However, thanks to an interview with our friends over at VladTV, Bow admits he reminisces often on his time with the former ‘princess of crunk N’B.’
Recounting a never-before-told run down of what caused their breakup, tuck in to hear the rapper/actor dish on his love for Cici, thoughts on Future and Russell Wilson, and so much more. If you missed any of part of his heartwarming statements, they all await below:
Start at the 7:30 mark:
Kudos to Bow Wow for his maturity.
Wow he never wanted to tired down with ciara at that time
Girl….what?
Lol I died
When they were dating I swear they looked like little brother and big sister.
??
The way I just HOWLED, GEEZUS
Look at him trying to be relevant ???
I’m surprised they didn’t ask what it was like to be topped DOWN by Ciara, cause she SWANGS LOW, sweet chariot ???.
Huh Bow Wow? I thought he now goes by ‘Chad Moss’..
And I thought your fave went by ‘FLOP’, sis. Kiiiii
Anything to stay relevant
I remember when all the girls were crushing on Bow Wow when he still had Lil attached to his name and now he’s one year shy of turning 30, lol. Time flies. I like that he can admit his faults regarding the breakdown of he and Ci’s relationship.
I always felt that they’re relationship was to promote the adult Bow Wow. I remember r he Vibe magazine interview and she would be private, but he would spill everything and I was like they’re on different levels and you could tell that she wanted a relationship, but he wanted the fame.
.
The most surprising fact out if this interview is Janet acknowledging Ciara.
^ Right!!! … @the last part!
She sent her flowers after the BET tribute also.
Aww, Janet said Ciara’s a sweet girl! I always wondered what she thought of her. As for Bow Wow and Ciara, I would have never thought their relationship was that serious. O_o
Janet likes Ciara a lot. That’s why she put her on the official Feedback remix in 2008. The only girls Janet has ever publicly endorsed are Ciara, Brandy and Aaliyah…as far as I know.
Really? What did she say about Bran?
Who hasn’t endorsed Brandy? Seriously….
Janet did an interview around 2004 where they asked her which of the younger girls she listens to and she said she respects Brandy’s music a lot and really liked how she chose her own lane with Afrodisiac. Janet loves artists who are original. Janet’s Australian Facebook fan page has a pic of Brandy and Janet together in celebration of Brandy’s Slayana tour.
It boggles my mind how talented Bow Wow is yet he always makes one stupid decision after the next. He is so worried about what people think of him that he always chooses the wrong girls, makes bad career decisions and surrounds himself with losers. Stop trying to f*** with people who don’t f*** with you. If he’s smart, he’ll chase that Nick Cannon money and stop trying to be this hard rapper that nobody respects.
They were such a cute couple, but I’m glad she’s over her short lesbian phase.
I remember him on the BET awards that year (B4 it became garbage, was better than VMAS not now). He was bragging “oh ciara, yeah, thats my girlfriend now” it sounded like childish dribble, just the way he said it, yeah you tell its true, he said it, but also you could tell their relationship was FAKE & FORCED just wanted to be the next big hip hop cpl to compete with chrisanna & Jayonce. Just didnt work out literally & figurativly. He jumped on chris brown 50 cent soulja Boi trey songz Mario Omarian… to stay relavant.com was even taking the most random pics with Bey. i mean No Artist was safe lol he used to ride 106 like a Bus.
Their they did together was cute tho but they had to chemistry no matter how much they tried. Also dont think ciara was ever really a lezzy, most likely a way to gain male fans & a excuse for male centored choreography and not being feminine like Aliyah.
*song* like You
He seems a lil less…. “Corny” ..during this interview. It’s cool seeing him just be relaxed and chill and honest. I remember also having a “I’m lost and you just left me” conversation with one of my friends too..
