  • Bow Wow has been in the hip-hop spotlight since he was a kid, dropping his first album 'Beware of Dog' when he was just 13 years old. He even sold out Madison Square Garden multiple times before this 16th birthday. Since then, he’s gone on to co-host BET’s '106 & Park' as well as appear in TV shows and movies, although lately he’s become known for trolling (and being trolled) on social media.
    He sparked concern amongst fans earlier this month when he announced that his upcoming project would be titled 'Edicius,' or “Suicide” spelled backwards. In the latest episode of Genius' 'For the Record,' the rapper and actor sat down with Rob Markman to explain his reasoning for the title and reflect on his career.

    Forget what anyone says I think Bow a good dude I remember when I was a kid and met him he was a good guy. He never was Hollywood even though he was bigger than anyone at his age at the time but he was still humble. I’ll always have respect for Bow.

    • @glory5956
      @glory5956 5 років тому

      I know this is a year later
      He's probably saying that cuz he don't understand the way he feels in the moment
      That's what suicidal thoughts do
      It stems from depression but a lot of things get in the way and confuse the whole situation
      So thoughts become cloudy and reflective questions start surging through
      In the moment, dying feels like a real option
      But with that little dose of reality people in general have
      That option becomes a never
      For some people the thought just never leaves their mind
      My advice to those with suicidal thoughts would be
      "Stay strong, you ain't the only one going through this so there's people out there that understand what you feel, people that get it"

  • @Richyungman07
    @Richyungman07 6 років тому +2

    Bow clearly needs to get saved. It's so many people that get caught trying to figure out life for themselves. A lot of people try to get away from depression by smoking and drinking or taking some type of drug. We all need Jesus Christ. I mean this literally it's life changing. Bow clearly is fighting against it. Kanye is fighting it as well. Smh!!! hopefully one day he find Christ. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. This is what happens when you are trying to seek validation for yourself without praying asking the father for help. I call it letting go and letting God. I'm not perfect myself and I've been were Bow is now and I grew up in the church. So through experience I can speak on these things. I've probably been through more than Bow wow has in my life from going to jail etc. So I know what I'm talking about. We all need prayer. And that's facts.

    Regardless of the lame shit he has done..Mfkz have to respect how real and open he is being in his recent interviews. BUT....with all that said, his "reasons" for wanting to contemplate suicide are WHACK!!! You don't contemplate taking your life because your rich lifestyle has allowed you make all these accomplishments and now u got bored. Come on Bow..That is weak!! If Will Smith STILL has shit he wants to accomplish and he's twice Bow's age, there's always new accomplishments OUTSIDE of music. And he pretty much contradicted himself. He first says yeah..well' we'll see how yall feel when I'm not here..When yall don't see another tweet..etc. He then goes to say that he doesn't get bothered by the negativity on social media. I think the media DOES get to him but he's human. These young trash rappers SHOULD be paying homage to him but because of all the donkey shit, that's not the case. But IDGAF...Bow will crush any of these mumble lean sippin pill poppin trash rappers today!! Period. But he does need professional therapy!! Real shit.
