They’ve known each other for decades and now Jermaine Dupri is making sure to celebrate Bow Wow on his birthday once again. The pair have had their ups and downs that have often played out in the media or on their show Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta, but overall, Dupri has maintained the father figure position in the rapper’s life. They’ve balanced their personal relationship with the professional one, often working together to craft hits that remain club bangers until this day, and the So So Def icon wanted to shine a light on his “son” on his big day.
