We never expected to see anything like this…

For the first time ever, rapper Bow Wow is in trouble with the law and has been ordered by a judge to be taken into custody!

According to TMZ:

Bow Wow was ordered by a Tennessee court back in 2009 to pay almost $100,000 to a tour bus company for allegedly not paying his bill. The company then took the case to Georgia to try and get the court where Bow Wow lives to enforce the judgment.

He was ordered to produce documents in his home state regarding the lawsuit, which he never did. As a result, the tour company filed a motion to have the rapper held in contempt.

Finally back in October, the judge granted the motion and ordered Bow Wow be arrested and held until he produces the necessary documents the tour bus company asked for.

Bow Wow has not been taken into custody so far, or responded to the lawsuit. Calls to Bow Wow’s reps were not returned.

Come on, Bow! Get that taken care of asap. (We know Birdman got it!)

Angela Simmons spent her 24th birthday Sunday afternoon (Sep 18) hanging out with her friends and relaxing under the Miami Beach sun with her on-and-off again boyfriend Bow Wow!

After spending some quality time together at Angela’s birthday party the night before, Bow Wow and Angela were spotted on the beach cuddling, locking hands and whispering sweet nothings to each other. In some of the pictures, you can even see Bow Wow affectionately feeding Angela.

Guess we can safely say this couple is “back on!” (Or at least almost.)

Check out 15+ pics below:

Angela Simmons recently turned 24 years old, and partied it up at Club Play in Miami Beach with some girlfriends … and her on-and-off boyfriend Bow Wow!

As you all may know by now, Bow Wow recently fathered a child with a model chick, but it looks like he and Angie are rekindling their old flame.

Either that or Bow Wow is just supporting a good friend on her birthday. But we have a strong feeling there’s some flame rekindling going on here. We’ll see…

YMCMB is plotting one hell of a fall music takeover.

The Hip-Hop collective is said to be preparing several releases from its long roster of artists, including Drake, Bow Wow, Tyga, Lil Twist, Birdman and Jay Sean.

Lil Wayne‘s “Carter IV” wrapped up the summer, and right in the middle of the fall, on October 24th, Drake’s sophomore album “Take Care” will be the next project released under the Young Money/Cash Money imprint.

A week later on November 1st, Bow Wow will make his Cash Money debut with “Underrated,” followed by Lil Twist’s “Don’t Get It Twisted” the next week on November 8th. Then exactly one week after that, on the 15th, Tyga will release his second album, titled “Careless World.”

Jay Sean and Birdman will share Thanksgiving week with their respective releases “Freeze Time” and “Bigga Than Life,” both due November 21st.

Then, the entire Young Money family will release a second compilation album a month later on December 20th.

It’s pretty safe to say the rest of the year belongs to YMCMB.

[Rap-Up]

Bow Wow is already showing how much of a proud father he is!

The Cash Money rapper recently got a tattoo of his daughter Shai’s name on his right wrist. Check it out below:

Just a few months ago, rumors spread on the web that Bow had knocked up model Miss Joie … and now it is a 100% clear that he is the father.

Nice to see Bow taking on responsibility like every man should.

After literally KILLING IT on stage Sunday night (Aug 29) at the VMAs, Chris Brown was spotted having lunch out in West Hollywood Monday afternoon (Aug 29) with his girlfriend Karrueche Tran as well as his good friend, rapper Bow Wow (even though you can’t see his face.

In a few pics you can even see Chris planting kisses on his girl. (How sweet!)

Check out the pics from Chris’ lunch date with his girlfriend Karrueche and his pal Bow Wow below:

New father Bow Wow was spotted out in Malibu with his baby girl Shai last week!

The 24-year-old rapper held his daughter affectionately close to his chest while cradling her in his arms as he and some friends were out shopping at Cross Creek. Ever since he came out with news of his daughter a little over a month ago, Bow Wow has been very open about taking his fatherly duties seriously.

Putting the drama aside after originally claiming that he was not the father to video model Joie’s daughter, the rapper has since become a responsible dad, and does nothing but talk about the love he has for his newborn daughter.

Take a look at the pictures below:

Rapper Bow Wow recently penned an open letter via his website to his fans and shared that he indeed is a proud father of a beautiful baby girl. He also explained the highs and lows of growing up fast in an even faster entertainment industry and how trying to keep up led him to having suicidal thoughts.

Moved by his genuineness, Russell Simmons decided to call the “Marco Polo” rapper and congratulate him on his openness, new attitude and growth as a young man.

Read what Bow Wow said to Uncle Rush below:

On opening up in his letter:
I’m so used to the media and everybody talking about the bad stuff or the stuff that is really not that important that shouldn’t be out there for fans to see rather than focus on the things that really matter. I just woke up and felt a certain way and felt like the world was on me…like it was a secret everybody was asking me and I just felt like ok, it’s either now or never. I wrote it from the heart so when everybody accepted it – you know when you retweeted it – I couldn’t believe it! I was like ‘Oh man this is crazy!’

On having suicidal thoughts:
The suicide thoughts just really came because I think earlier I was exposed to so much Uncle Russ to the point to where I kinda felt like it ruined my adulthood. When I was younger I wish I listened to everybody that was older telling me “don’t do that just yet you should wait” or “don’t go to the club yet you should really wait until your 21 or you got nothing to look forward to.” So that’s what happened, for me being around Jermaine and everybody so young I was around EVERYTHING. So by the time I got 18, I was really 26 (laughs) and I didn’t wanna go to the club no more. When I got 20, I was like “Ok now I’m ready to get married.” Now I feel like I’m 40! So the older I got, I just noticed [I was different than] my friends…I was like “I can’t really hang with y’all” because they’d go to the club and I’ve done all that when I was 14. So it made me realize like “what am I here for? What am I living to do?”

On his daughter:
I just got so stressed out because I felt like I did everything too fast and it didn’t leave me with nothing to look forward to. Now that I have my daughter I don’t even have those thoughts no more. Because now it’s like I got something to live for, I got more movies to go get, more records to go make because I gotta go hard for her now. So now I do have a purpose. So it took for me to have a dark period and pray to God that it’s all gone and now it’s a whole other ballgame. I’m just focused and it’s just me coming out being clean about my situation. It’s just a whole new outlook on life! It’s dope!

On support from his good friend, Tyrese:
Even Tyrese, who’s a good friend of mine, called me and was like “man, you don’t even know what you just did.” He said “you just made my week because you’re the first young African-American, you know you’re the youngest one in the game right now with a kid, you have a chance to have every male your age and younger who has kids now…you can make them step up and become better men.” So when he told me that, I was like “WOW.” I didn’t even think about that and I never had my father in my life…ever! So this just makes me want to step up and just go harder even more and give her everything my father never gave.

[Global Grind]

You can now call him daddy bow wow……

Earlier today on his blog, rapper Bow Wow penned an open letter revealing that he is the father of a baby girl!

We guess it was time for Bow to keep it 100 since his mom was already leaking information…..congrats tho!

Cash Money rapper Bow Wow, is set to bring his acting talents to the small screen, via a new partnership with Hip-Hop legend turned Hollywood movie mogul, Ice Cube.

Bow Wow, who has starred in two Ice Cube produced flicks (“All About the Benjamins” and “Lottery Ticket”) is re-teaming with the hit director on an upcoming, untitled sitcom, and even managed to hook up his longtime mentor Jermaine Dupri by hiring him to score the entire project.

“I partnered with Ice Cube and he is producing my sitcom,” the rapper told All Hip Hop. “I told JD when Will [Smith] had his own show ["The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"], Quincy Jones did all the music so it’s only right that he does mine. So I got him doing all the scores to the TV show. I speak to JD daily.”

Bow’s as yet untitled sitcom is still in the early stages, so while details were scarce, the rapper revealed that the deal had just been signed and writers were currently being sought for the television show.

“Once we get that we will have a name and we will definitely be filming this year, you’ll be hearing a lot about that,” Bow Wow told AllHipHop.com.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we like to call “perfect timing.” If Bow wow is serious about being a rapper/actor, he definitely needs to get some more major projects — including TV shows — lined up. Looks like he’s heading in the right direction!

Hip-Hop and R&B were represented well over the weekend at the annual Supafest 2011 concert event in Australia. Keri Hilson kicked off Friday night’s performances at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney, followed by showings from Ciara, Game, Bow Wow, Nelly, T-Pain, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg and Taio Cruz.

Immediately following the dinner, Chris Brown took his shirt off and headed over to NYC’s Webster Hall where the official Album Release Party was held. Brown looked very happy, despite the trouble he encountered earlier that morning behind the scenes of “Good Morning America,” as he danced with scantily clad women and posed for pictures with R&B singer Lloyd.

Meanwhile, Hits Daily Double is predicting that Chris Brown is on track to have his first #1 album in the history of his career! According to early sales predictions, the numbers show that Brown could sell anywhere from 200K to 300K copies of “F.A.M.E.” this week, which would land the album in the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart next week.

Check out 15+ pics of Chris Brown celebrating his album release in NYC below:

Check out this picture Bow Wow tweeted early this morning of himself, along with his Cash Money/Young Money family, including Lil Wayne, Birdman and newcomer T-Pain on the set of of DJ Khaled‘s new “Welcome to My Hood” music video.

The track (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN) serves as the lead single for Miami-based DJ Khaled’s upcoming album We The Best Forever, due in stores sometime this year.

Rapper Bow Wow hosted a party at Club Play in Miami last Friday (Jan 14) looking pretty bored. The young star was seen mostly playing around with his cellphone and looking all serious. Tired of the fast life, Bow?

Bow Wow wants to set the record straight for those who think he’s ready to take a leap over the edge…….

Bow sat down with WKYS 93.9′s Angie Ange yesterday and explained exactly what he meant by his suicidal rant on Twitter last month. Look below to see what the rapper had to say:

“All I know is the business, I ain’t had time to go play football or none of the regular stuff. So at times, it haunts you. It do because of course you’re gonna be unbalanced. How can you have balance in life when you haven’t seen the other side? I’m unbalanced because I’ve only seen one side of life. I ain’t seen the other side. It’s not by choice, it’s just how it is. Some days I wake up and I do just want to fit in sometimes — I didn’t really mean it like, ‘Yo, I’m gonna kill myself,’ it’s like, when will I get peace? I guess I’ll only get it when I’m dead. So that’s how I meant [it], I didn’t mean it like, ‘Yo, I’m about to kill myself right now.”

Don’t let it get the best of you B-dubb!!!

Bow Wow is gearing up for the release of his 7th studio album and tells VIBE that this is his most controversial piece of work to date!

The Cash Money rapper also admits that throughout his decade-long career, he’s been living a lie, but now he’s ready to show the world who he really is after being overlooked for so long. Check out what he told VIBE recently below:

“I felt overlooked my entire career, and felt like I never got credit for anything that I’ve ever done,” Bow Wow told VIBE. “This is what everybody turned me into—a little beast and now I’m on attack mode.

“There’s a certain perception of me. But I’m ready to open up and give the world all of me. I had to sacrifice acting up an image that I never wanted in the first place, and I did it because it was the only situation that was going to put my mother in the right place and take care of my family. But it doesn’t feel good doing shit that you don’t really feel good about. I never felt like I could be me. Now, I’m ready to say if you don’t like it, than you don’t like me.

“This album will be my most personal and probably most controversial because of the title,” he said. “Some might hate on it, but it’s true. It’s going to make people understand why I’m feeling like that. I haven’t announced the title, but I pretty much have it confirmed in my head. This is what I want, and what I’m asking for.”

Bow Wow’s currently untitled 7th album is due in stores sometime next year, and will be his first under his new home at Cash Money Records.

Does Bow Wow need an intervention? Judging by a recent series of message the rapper recently posted to his Twitter account, we would think so!

Over the weekend, a seemingly depressed Bow Wow took to his Twitter to vent about his “struggles” as a rich and famous celebrity and how he wishes he were dead because he feels as though that’s the only way he’ll get “peace.” Peep what the young Hip-Hop star wrote below:

“I swear i be wishing i was dead sometimes. Because i feel like that’s the only way ill get peace,” Bow Wow tweeted Saturday (Nov 6). “People don’t know me man. Yall don’t … start looking at Shad. Not Bow wow. F*ck Bow. I go through sh*t daily. I’m Just like yall. I sacrificed my life for this Hip Hop sh*t. I put my REAL life on hold. If i could do it over…. I wudda went to school. Got me a reg job.”

Bow Wow’s suicidal tweets also caught the attention of his friends, R&B singer Chris Brown and rapper Soulja Boy who both offered their own words of encouragement.

“@bowwow n**ga shut up! Stop talking like that! Don’t let nobody steal your joy! Whoop,” Chris Brown tweeted, which was followed by Soulja Boy‘s tweet: “Its gone be ok @BowWow NOTHING is worth killing yourself over brother. Let God handle it”

Soulja Boy is right (wait….did we just say that?) NOTHING is worth killing yourself over…… and we literally mean NOTHING!

In fact, people would KILL to be put into your position Bow Wow. Stop stressing over it and enjoy your life as it is. We’re sure if the tables were turned and you weren’t famous, you’d be wishing you were famous and didn’t have a “regular job.”

Earlier this week, former B2K member Raz B made an appearance on Charlamagne The God‘s Sirius XM Satellite Radio show to continue his “molestation promo tour,” and talked about (you guessed it) how he was allegedly sexually abused by his former mentors Chris Stokes and Marques Houston.

But this time around, Bow Wow‘s name got thrown into the mix…..and let’s just say the rapper wasn’t too happy about that!

The full story is below…

During the interview, Charlemagne’s co-host Lee brought up Bow Wow’s name, implying that he too may have been involved in the alleged sexual abuse.

“There were rumors allegedly that [former B2K member] Fizz was with Bow Wow,” Lee said on the air, to which Raz B responded: “Bow Wow used to always come over to the house in Diamond Bar. I’ve always seen some weird sh*t before. Trust Me.”

Shortly after the interview aired, Bow Wow talked to our friends over at VIBE.com to clear his name and to let people know that he isn’t down with “all that funny sh*t”

“I don’t know Raz at all. The only thing that I was ever affiliated with him was by the Scream tour. But all that funny sh*t he poppin’ needs to be left over there. I’m over here just trying to do me,” Bow Wow told VIBE while on a press run in New York City. “We were never even labelmates or anything. Maybe because my video is out, n*ggas feel like they got to eat off my name or try to become relevant.

“I get way to much play for him to be saying that stupid shit. It’s weak, period. Why every time I try to stay out of shit niggas be putting my name in their mouth. I don’t know what they got going on over there,” Bow Wow added. “I always heard shit but I was just as shocked as everyone else when everything came out. Basically, don’t drag my name in nothing. Raz can’t even contact me because they don’t have my numbers. See, I don’t want to talk to him or waste my time.”

Sounds like Bow Wow is pissed! And within good reason too. Raz B needs to keep other folks’ names out his mouth!

Meanwhile, it sounds like Quindon Tarver wants Raz B to keep his name out of his mouth as well. Last month, Raz broadcasted two very private (and very graphically detailed) phone conversations between himself and Quindon (a former TUG artist who says he too was sexually abused by Chris Stokes & Marquess Houston) all over the Internet.

But get this….Raz apparently didn’t let Quindon know he was putting his business on front street like that (i.e. recording the convos and posting them to WorldStarHipHop). And Quindon tells VIBE that he’s put all of that stuff behind him and is ready to move on. Check out his statement below:

In regards to the videos leaked over the net recently by DeMario “Raz B” Thornton, I would like to first start off by saying that it was never intentional, on my part, for that conversation to have been made public. I had no clue our conversation was being recorded, nor did I know it would wound up on the internet. I was under the impression that Raz B and myself were having a private conversation, nothing more or less.

In 2008, I spoke in-depth to VIBE magazine regarding the painful experiences in my past while under Chris Stokes label. I had no intentions of making public discussion of the incident since that story. I have also cooperated with law enforcement since the incident, and have absolutely given the situation completely over to God. It was never my intention to attract negative publicity for any of the parties involved. As far as the “scandal” goes, I am done with it. I’m busy in the studio working on new music, and my God-given gift is what will make room for me.

I truly appreciate the tremendous outpour of support and love I’ve been receiving lately, but it is not my intention to harm or humiliate anyone. As I’ve stated before, my past is the past and that’s where I’m going to leave it. It’s now in God’s hands, and He’ll handle the matter accordingly.

Looks like Raz B is alone in all of this. He really needs to give it up, no one’s listening to his crazy a** anymore!! He needs some serious “help” and the way he’s going about getting it is all wrong. Someone should tap him on the shoulder and fill him in.

Does Bow Wow have a Twitter addiction??

Well…according to his co-star Brandon T. Jackson he does! In a recent interview, Jackson spoke on how Bow spent most of his time tweeting on the set of their new movie “Lottery Ticket”…and often made it hard for him to focus on his parts in the film.

“He likes to tweet on set. I’m trying to be in the scene, I’m trying to be a good actor. And Bow Wow’s a good actor, I love Bow Wow, but we’ve got this dramatic scene… and he’s tweeting. I’m trying to get my Denzel (Washington) on. I’m trying to get my facial expressions, and then he’s just tweeting and next thing you know there’s like girls on the set and I’m like, ‘Are we shooting a music video or a movie?’”

Damn Bow Weezy…are you that hooked? (LOL!)

The movie focuses a single mother named Miss Shirley (Loretta Devine) who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and with the help of Madea, Ms. Shirley gets her grown children (Bow Wow is one of them) to help organize one final, big, happy, family reunion.

“Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family” will be TP’s 11th movie and is scheduled for release via Lionsgate in April 2011.

Congrats Bow Wow! He’s always said he wanted to be the next Will Smith and judging by the looks of it, he may very well be on his way! How many artists these days get the opportunity to star in two pretty well-known movies within the same year?

Rapper Bow Wow represents his hometown in his latest music video release “Put That On My Hood” featuring singer Sean Kingston. The track is the first single off Bow’s upcoming seventh studio album Who is Shad Moss?

Check out “Put That On My Hood” below….

Rapper Bow Wow and his rumored on-and-off girlfriend Angela Simmons were spotted sitting in the front row of the Trina Turk 2011 Fashion Show during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim Thursday (Jul 15) at the Raleigh in Miami Beach, Florida. Check out a few pics of the two below…

In a recent interview with Vibe Magazine, rapper Bow Wow talks about everything from his relationship with Young Money artist Drake to the recent diss by newly signed Atlantic Records rapper Diggy Simmons. Continue reading to see what Bow Wow had to say…

Now that you’re signed to Cash Money, what’s your relationship like with the man of the month, Drake?
We’re the same age so we have a lot of similarities. It’s all love. We don’t really have conversation like that, just once in a blue moon. ‘What’s happening? Congratulations on your success,’ stuff like that. We’re all so busy, that’s something a lot of people don’t understand. Drizzy’s all over the place, you got me with the movie thing, Nicki’s doing her thing and of course Lil Wayne and all the Young Money imprint is busy working on different areas so we don’t get a chance to really all hang out. But when we do, we do it big.

I’m sure you’ve heard that Diggy Simmons is Atlantic Records’ newest rapper. For someone who’s had such great success as a kid MC, what’s your advice for him?
Take your time. The good thing [about] starting off young is [you get] to learn from others’ mistakes. I would tell [Diggy] to pace himself, don’t grow up too fast, take your time and stay at it. It’s easy now because you’re a kid, but once you hit that that 17, 18 mark it’s going to get rougher so be prepared [for] that next wing because its going to come fast. I think his label’s behind him [so] he should be okay. He should try his best to find whoever his fan base is, stick with them and cater to them That’s the one thing I did. He looks like a star and if he has the right tools around him, he can win. We got to wait and see, but I wish him good luck .

On his freestyle “Flow Stoopid” he has line that goes “I don’t rap for my age like Lil Bow Wow.” How do you react to that?
Yeah, I don’t. It’s flattering because it lets me know how much of a prince I came into the game as [and that] people are talking about things I made 10 years ago. I’m still here and to me that’s flattering because that kid that they talk about is the only kid at that age that sold three million copies. So if I was 15 again and tried to come out, I would try to repeat what Lil Bow Wow did, period.

Bow Wow better not speak too soon… Diggy don’t be playing no games on the mic!

Further proving that they’ve put their beef behind them, rappers Jim Jones and Cam’ron hosted a party together over the weekend at the 400 Club at Cameo in Miami, FL. Tons of folks head down to Miami every year for Memorial Day Weekend and party party party all night long.

Chris Brown, Bow Wow, Pleasure P and radio personality Kenny Burns were all spotted in the VIP section partying it up for Cam’ron and Jim Jones’ Dipset Reunion Party.

Peep 10+ pics of everyone mentioned celebrating Memorial Day Weekend in Miami with Dipset below…

“The tweet that was posted was photo shopped. Just recently I did an interview on how I never pay for sex [Ozone's Sex issue], so I guess someone felt the need to write some bogus tweet before my original tweet,” Bow Wow told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement. “I have damn near have 500,000 followers on Twitter. If I were to tweet such foolishness it would have been all over Twitter in a matter of seconds. I don’t know why people feel the need to try to s**t on my name or what I represent. All I want to do is please my fans, make more millions, make sure my family is straight and have fun.

“I’ve never done nothing to no one. I don’t beef with n***as, I don’t waste time blogging about people, I just make hit movies, and #1 records,” Bow Wow told AllHipHop.com. “I don’t know what they are set out to do but it wont work against someone who knows the game and has been successful at it for the past 10 years. No matter how much you dislike me you cant take away that I’ve sold 10 million albums, 6 arena tours, and I’m still here. I came out in 2000, I cant name u 5 artist who are still around from that time, but I am. I’m only 23 the best has yet to come.”

So we’re photo shopping tweets now? Oh, okay…

Bow Wow recently took some time to talk to Ozone Magazine about his perception of groupies and he had some interesting things to say about the constant jumpoffs that tend to come his way:

Since you were very young when you started out in the business, have you kinda gotten over the appeal of the groupies and the models?

I was exposed to a lot of things at an early age. There’s always moments where I don’t feel like being with a chick, because I know I’m going to be a laughingstock if I try to get too serious with her. There’s probably another rapper or ballplayer she’s kickin’ it with. So, I do get tired of it, but some days I might just want to get a couple of girls around and we’re all just kickin’ it with no strings attached and no feelings. Sometimes you want to have girls around for that. So I’m half and half with it. Some days I don’t want to be bothered with [groupies], and some days I want some fun girls around.

You mentioned earlier that you wouldn’t want to date a girl who’s kickin’ it with another ballplayer or rapper. Why do you think there’s still such a double standard between men and women?

A woman is supposed to be pure. That’s what makes a woman a woman. A woman is supposed to cherish her body. Guys are like, we’re the dog. We’re the inner beast; the lion. I’m not saying it’s cool, but there’s a difference between men and women. It’s been that way forever. A woman is supposed to be pure and respect her body. As guys, we’re dogs. Dogs are messy and dirty. Dogs sniff themselves. That’s just what dogs do. I guess it’s a stereotype that we’ll never be able to get away from. There are some things that women can get away with that guys can’t get away with. So I think there will always be a double standard.

Bow Wow’s comments are very funny, but yet very true. It does appear that women are changing. The new age women aren’t very pure… they are actin’ out just like the fellas. And it’s not a good look.

R&B singer Chris Brown and his homie rapper Bow Wow were spotted sitting ring-side together Saturday night (Apr 10) at the HBO World Championship boxing match between Andre Berto and Carkis Quintana at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.

Producer/singer Sean Garrett also attended the boxing match and sung the national anthem prior to the fight. SMH… we guess they couldn’t get a REAL singer to perform our country’s national anthem. Check out the pics of Chris, Bow and Sean below…

The official trailer for the new movie “The Lottery Ticket,” starring Bow Wow, Naturi Naughton, Brandon T. Jackson, Terry Crews, Mike Epps, T-Pain, Loretta Divine, Ice Cube, Teairra Mari and more, hit the web this week, and the movie looks like it’s going to be funny as hell! It’s due to be released this summer, but in the meantime, continue reading to peep the trailer…

Sidebar: Mike Epps is a fool for wearing that wig!

The Internet was swarming with rumors this week alleging that Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons was messing around with both Bow Wow and Rob Kardashian. She was spotted hanging out with Bow last week at, and just this past weekend, she and Rob were spotted at Jet Nightclub in Vegas. Sources said she and the Kardashian boy “sat together the entire night.”

Now both Angela and Rob have both taken to their Twitters to deny the rumors in an effort to set the record straight and put it out there that they’re NOT dating.

@ROBKARDASHIAN: Media is crazy… I am not dating @AngelaSimmons or @V_Simmons… They are both people who I Respect. Real Family. Good people.

@ANGELASIMMONS: I love how the media knows my life betta then me ;) lol @ rumors.

That doesn’t rule out Bow Wow though…

Bow Wow’s mom must really like him!

Rapper Bow Wow just posted some photos of what his mother surprised him with as a gift for his 23rd birthday (today – March 9th): a brand new Rolls Royce Phantom! Here’s another photo of Bow Wow enjoying his new gift, which retails anywhere from $300k – $400k (or more):

With the help of Volkswagen, Maxim Magazine hosted a pre-Super Bowl party in Miami, FL Saturday night (Feb 6) at The Raleigh that drew in celebrities from all over.

Folks like Bow Wow, Nelly, Jermaine Dupri, LL Cool J and more came through to party it up the day before the Super Bowl and add their signature to the VW GTI parked on the red carpet. With each signature, Volkswagen will make a donation to Doctors Without Borders.

More pics of celebs partying with Maxim and VW below and after the cut…

Okay, so it appears that Mr. Bow Wow has decided to enter the blogging game with the launch of his own personal blog.  Clearly, he doesn’t know much about the game simply because he started the blog on the free blogging platform “Blogger” which definitely isn’t the way to go. Bow, you should have invested at least $500 into getting a layout designed on a more credible platform like WordPress. But anyhow, he recently posted a blog discussing jumpoffs saying they shouldn’t get as attached as they do because they’re simply that… A jumpoff!

I’ve noticed over my 22 years of living that yes women can be difficult, and i call myself a ladies man thinking i have them figured out. But as men we will never understand women. One thing i cant get a grip on is why do women get mad if they hear you are sleeping or talking to another woman if she doesn’t belong to you? Is it because we had sex and u feel like we have something? do you feel i belong to you? if we don’t have an understanding then why do you want to know where am i? why are you getting mad when you see me out at the club with other girls? I don’t mean to sound mean but.. WE ARE NOT TOGETHER WE JUST HAD SEX THATS IT!!!

So ladies i ask… is it a territorial thing? just because you had sex with this man makes it feel ok to act out as a girlfriend? or is it that you like this man, and want him to change and settle down because YOU feel thats best. Or maybe thats just what you want. Answers from both Men and Women…..

While we aren’t fans of his blog’s design, we actually think that his blog entry is quite funny.
