In a bold move, Bow Wow has taken to social media to call out fellow rappers who owe him money. The rapper, famous for his role in “Like Mike” and his early hits, posted a strong message on X (formerly Twitter) on May 30, threatening to expose those who have not paid their debts.
Bow Wow’s post read, “yo! yall think 50 [Cent] gotta long list of rappers owing hiM MONEY??!!! IMA START NAMING RAPPERS THAT OWE ME AND BEEN RUNNING OFF WITH THE PAPE FOR 3 yrs! Dont let that like mike shit fool you! I WANT MY MONEY!!!! ima start naming u n-ggas.” This statement quickly became a hot topic, with fans and industry watchers speculating about who might be on his list.
However, Bow Wow’s own financial dealings have been under scrutiny. Last year, he was sued by the family of a 10-year-old girl who claimed they paid $3,000 for a feature that never materialized. The family sought $15,000 in damages, but Bow Wow denied any wrongdoing, insisting he doesn’t conduct business through Cash App and warning fans about the risks of online transactions.
Bow Wow’s career has seen its share of ups and downs. Recently, he celebrated a significant achievement: his debut album “Beware of Dog” reached four million sales in the U.S., making it eligible for 4x platinum status. Released in 2000, the album included hits like “Bounce With Me,” “Bow Wow (That’s My Name),” and “Puppy Love,” and solidified his status as a young star in the music industry.
Despite these accolades, Bow Wow’s recent outburst reveals the ongoing challenges he faces in the industry. His call for accountability highlights a broader issue within the rap community, where financial disputes are not uncommon. By threatening to name those who owe him, Bow Wow is demanding respect and recognition for his work.
As Bow Wow continues to navigate the complexities of his career, his message to his peers is unmistakable: it’s time to pay up. Whether this public callout will lead to resolutions remains to be seen, but it certainly has the rap world buzzing.
