interview

Sometimes you have to know how to read the room. Anyway, here we go … Bow Wow recently faced backlash for comments he made about missing Diddy’s parties, a statement that sparked criticism in light of Diddy’s current legal troubles. The 37-year-old rapper, known for stirring controversy, expressed nostalgia for Diddy’s events during an appearance on Rocsi Diaz’s More To The Story podcast.

However, his remarks were poorly received, considering Diddy’s recent arrest and legal battles involving allegations of rape, sex trafficking, and other charges.

Here’s what he said …

“Bruh supposed to be on a 250-foot yacht with his wife, legs up, chilling,” Bow Wow said. “It seems unreal at times. Me and Jermaine [Dupri] spoke about it, and I was like, ‘I never thought we would see him in this position. Ever.’ He’s like the gatekeeper to the game. To the point where… BET Awards weekend? The past two, they just didn’t feel right ’cause there was no motion, no parties, nowhere to go.”

Bow Wow emphasized that he wasn’t referring to the infamous “freak offs” mentioned in federal investigations. “I said, ‘Jermaine, there’s no parties!’” he added. “You feel it, it’s like a hole. He was everything Hip-Hop! For that to die out, you just would have never thought… It’s sad and it’s messed up that we gotta witness this.”

His comments did not sit well with many online users. He got cooked TBH.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “Fiending for Diddy parties is crazy. Dude should have just stayed quiet.” Another user criticized Bow Wow personally, recalling a disappointing club appearance: “Get a load of this loser. We booked him at the club and he couldn’t even give his liquor away… A Diddy party may actually be his best bet.” A third user tersely added, “Send him back to the orphanage.”

Obviously, in the spirit of not reading the room, the timing of Bow Wow’s remarks is especially problematic, as Diddy is currently facing serious legal charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His legal troubles began when his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023, accusing him of rape and trafficking. Although the case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, it led to more allegations from other women.

Dame Dash, the outspoken former Rockafella Records honcho, has openly distanced himself from Best of Both Worlds, the 2002 collaboration album between JAY-Z and R. Kelly, citing strong moral objections to Hova working with the controversial, now incarcerated singer.

It all went down in an interview on the American Nu Network YouTube channel on October 7, Dash reflected on the project and emphasized his discomfort due to R. Kelly’s reputation and history, particularly given Dash’s relationship at the time with the late R&B star Aaliyah, who had been involved with Kelly as a minor. The thought of that entire ordeal, now that we know what we know about Kelly is absolutely disturbing.

“It’s morally wrong to do a project with someone that we know raped my girl or raped anybody for that matter,” Dash said, expressing his strong ethical stance against working with Kelly.

Get this, Dash explained that despite the significance of the album, he wanted to distance himself from the project entirely. “I do know when that project did come out, I didn’t want any part of that project. I didn’t want any of the money to go to Roc-A-Fella or me when it came to Roc-A-Fella.”

What’s interesting when you think back, Dash further elaborated that this period marked the beginning of a separation between him and JAY-Z, saying, “It was around the time that Jay was trying to kind of separate himself from us… I wasn’t diluting.” He noted that a mutual friend, Deuce, had also advised against the collaboration, further confirming Dash’s decision to stay away from it.

Check this, we didn’t know but Dash allowed JAY-Z to keep all profits from the album, making it clear that he was prioritizing his moral stance over financial gain. “I had no involvement,” he emphasized, underscoring his desire to dissociate from the project. That part.

Just to remind ya’ll, this is not the first time Dash has voiced his discomfort with working with R. Kelly. In 2019, during an interview with Nick Cannon, he revealed that he refused to appear in any scenes with Kelly in the music video for the 2001 single “Fiesta” featuring JAY-Z.
