Bow Wow Quotes

1. People ask for this life, but they don’t really understand what comes with it. People just see the outside and that looks good – big houses, cars, girls, but you never see how the person is feeling deep down inside. Me personally, being a man, I’m going to feel better displaying all of this and pouring my heart out on each record.
2. When I see my own people going through the tough times, it’s a wake-up call. I hope my influence can impact someone else’s decision to get out here and vote.
3. I was born with no money. So when people talk about Bow Wow being rich his whole life, I don’t know where they get that.
4. I don’t prepare for my roles. I don’t watch movies to get inspired. I don’t dig deep. I’ll never be that type of actor, and I doubt that I ever will be.
5. Dealing with the fame and going from nothing and becoming something where everyone wants a piece of you, your life changes in a day.
6. I’m trying to become a young CEO, to brand myself in television and movies.

“One thing about me, I’m a smart guy. Very smart. Things that I do, are for reasons. Things that I don’t do are for reasons. So for myself, I’m comfortable, very comfortable. For me, it’s all about the work. But as far as rumors, those are people’s opinions — until you see me on a corner with a cardboard box saying I’ll tap dance for food or canned goods, then you can say that [I’m broke].

Rapper Bow Wow arrested in Atlanta for alleged battery

On Monday 11, February 2019 Surveillance video obtained by TMZ has given a look at the moments leading up to a fight between rapper Bow Wow and his girlfriend during Atlanta’s Super Bowl weekend.

The elevator video shows Bow Wow snatching something out of his girlfriend Leslie Holden’s hand and appearing to yell at her.

The rapper, whose given name is Shad Moss, and Holden were both charged with battery after an officer was unable to determine who was the primary aggressor in the fight.

he officer responded to a call at the rapper’s midtown Atlanta address around 4:15 a.m. and spoke to Holden in a parking garage, the police report says. As she and Moss argued about a conversation she’d had with another man at the party, Moss became violent, dragged her from the bedroom at his residence and told her to leave, Holden told the officer.

When she initially called police, Moss and his friends kept her from leaving the bedroom and didn’t open the door for the officer, Holden said. The police report says the officer left because no one opened the door.

The report says Holden had some redness on her lower back, red marks on her right fingers and some broken fingernails.

Moss told the officer he confronted his girlfriend when they got home because she was “all over” another man at the party and he felt disrespected. Moss said Holden started yelling and he told her to leave. When put her bags at the door, Holden became aggressive and threw a lamp but missed hitting him, Moss said.

Moss had red scratches on his neck and face, the officer wrote.

Lawyer Sincerai Stallings, who’s representing Holden along with lawyer Daniel Meachum, said in a statement Thursday that Holden “was not the aggressor, but rather the victim.” She added, that “once all facts are presented we are confident that she will be exonerated of all charges.”

Joe Habachy, a lawyer for Moss, said in a statement Saturday that Holden was clearly the primary aggressor and that Moss was the victim. Two witnesses said Holden was “without a doubt the primary aggressor,” Habachy said.

A friend of Moss who was in the apartment told the officer he didn’t see the fight in the bedroom but did see Holden throw the lamp at Moss.

There were “no independent witnesses to corroborate the facts about the incident,” the officer wrote.
