Just two months after Bow Wow took to Twitter to admit he wished he “never touched music,” he’s doubling down on the stance with a slew of new posts related to his musical journey. Some of which were less than endorsing of his longtime producer Jermaine Dupri.
Full story below…
In a Q&A with fans, the MC – who was born Shad Moss – slammed much of his own music, branding his entire catalog “mid” quality.
When quizzed about his favorite album, the star replied:
“None of them. They all mid. Yall think im playing but im dead forreal.”
When other supporters listed their favorite LPs of his, the 35-year-old went as far as to brand one of the picks “wack.” He wrote:
“Roc the mic WACK. Wanted album mid to me. This is my opinion tho. All my albums mid. Just saying. Just because i did them dont mean i like em.”
Bow Wow went on to play down the role Jermaine Dupri – who produced the vast majority of his hits – had in his career. Refuting the suggestion JD “made” him, he said:
“made who? Hahahaha he made kriss kross. He aint make me. I aint go thru artist development i aint have to be taught how to rap. This aint the tv show the rap game. I came ready. No disrespect but he aint teach me nothing bout this business bro. And thats real. He dont give advice.”
“I aint beefing w jd. All i said was he was not the person who put me on. And he wasnt. And us not working together in 10 yrs is true. I dont need jd to make money. Are you nutz my boy? What movie or tv hosting he help me prep for? How many plays he done ran by me? NONE. I do me.”
Bow then cited Snoop Dogg as most instrumental in his journey to date:
“Once again… my uncle snoop named me. I was kid gangsta at first. And he said naw his name gone be “lil bow wow” because im the big dogg so he the lil me.
Ima protégé of Dog. Im snoop artist 1st. Thats just what it is. And now we back and things bout to be how they was pose to be from jump.”
With that, are you a fan of Bow Wow’s music? And do you agree with his assessment of JD’s impact? As ever, let us know…
