It looks like Bow Wow’s suicidal rant on Twitter a few months ago wasn’t just an attempt to get attention after all. The rapper has revealed that he has indeed been “battling life” for quite some time as a result of his declining relevance transition into adulthood and that his new baby has saved him from that downward spiral.
Read Bow Wow’s open letter to his fans about his inner struggles below:
Let me start off by saying i love my fans. With out yall i wudda been left the game. For the past 3 years i been batteling life. Even thought about taking my own. I felt like as a kid i did everything and saw everything too fast which spoiled my adult years. I felt as if i had no purpose to live(Thinking selfishly) until god gave me the illest gift of my life. No lambo, no blk card nuffn ammounts to my lil girl. I waited so long to tell yall the truth because i was nervous on how yall would look at me. Yall know everyone makes a big deal out of everything i do. I wanted to be 1st n let yall know the real. My lil girl is getting BIG fast. i love every minute of it. She inspires me to go harder.Even made me treat my mother better, its like it made me into a man over night. Never been a fan of posting pix of my daughter. Reason is because i want my boo boo to have everything i didnt. Want her to be able to cheerlead with her lil friends with out some asshole sticking his camera all in my lil girl face. I know how fame is. I missed out on so much that i now know how important it is to cherish and have those things in your life. Yes! I change diapers. Aint as bad as i thought hahaha. I want her to live with me so bad. Jus us 2. Thats my dream man but fellas yall know how it go. Baby gotta stay with they momma and all dat bull. I hate that! So i have to fly 5 hrs away to see her. I find myself going into my i phone book jus lookn at pix of her. Sometimes i tear up cuz i just cant believe it brotha be emotional. All in all im good. This is my 1st. I know all my fans gone support me and ride for her like yall been doin my whole career. To the ones that say “Im heart broken how can he do that to us” well i do have a life thats not all about movies or making albums. Im 24 now. I cant wait 4eva. Im happy and if your a fan then ud be happy too cuz yall gone be with me every step of the way. The bs that comes with having a baby momma is expected. So i neva trip. Jus gotta suck it up keep chin high and try not let her get the best of my feelings by playin them stupid games. Ima stay positive and keep maintaining long as i got yall i cant lose. I love yall.

He has a daughter? I guess we know who the bottom is in his relationship with Omarion.
I’m more concerned about her future grammar skills…
lol at O. I wanna feel bad for him but that letter sounded hella concieted. Hope he gets his life together though
I’m not a stan and barely a fan, but it Sounds like a young man evolving into a Man, I adore Men that acknowledge his faults & find inspiration to be a productive Father in their child’s life, No matter what!
I’m happy for Bowwow but being a real man is not putting down the mother of child in an open letter. Sort out your problems in private it your fault that you went in raw or trusted her to use birth control. Nigga Please

SKOCKED!
Plus, Why are you bashing the MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD? kmt
I used to stan so hard for Lil’ Bow Wow when I was little. I remembered when he turned 16, he was just the cutest thing around. His career was so hot. However, after he dropped “Lil”, I just stopped caring. I’m surprised I knew about his pregnant girlfriend, it’s not like I keep up with his life anymore.
@musicthesole it doesn’t say anywhere in the letter he went in her raw. It si still possible to get pregnant while using contraception so there’s no need to make assumptions like that. I’ve never really been a big bow wow fan and I thought he just fell off no idea what he was going through. But it looks like he’s maturing and becoming a real man.
