FACTS

[@Czermusicny]

Now I understand why bow wow act how he do. He should have showed this side to him. Everyone would give him more respect he deserves. All the childish antics made us think you was a man child who wouldn’t grow up. After after hearing this and you can feel his frustration as well the music industry is crazy. The fact he still made it through that as a kid is amazing. Criss cross didn’t even survive it

[@PapaDuck360]

[@MrSilksoul]

Who exactly does he owe any explanation too? He doesn't owe anyone anything. Think what you want. I like artists be it musical or acting for performance. As long as they're entertaining I could give less than two f*cks about their personal life. If that's something that matters to you, you should do a self assessment and find a purpose for yourself.

[@EHN2024]

This riff between Bow and JD stems from 2002/2003 situation. When JD left Columbia to be with Arista records. Bow never forgot that.

I don’t care what anyone says about Bow, his lane is different from everybody else. A legend in my eyes, entertainer, actor, rapper. I still blast Greenlight mixtape in the whip. A young kid with braids, wearing jerseys, driving cars, got girls, and got a big as dog on album cover i thought that was fire. He was surrounded by streets dudes but went into his own lane, that’s relatable to me.

[@beeweezee71888]

Wow I never knew Bow was never signed to SoSo Def that's crazy.

[@DFRNTVIEWSTV]

Yeah he was i havent seen the interview but he slicc was always sosodef until the cash money thing happened after his second album his releases only said Columbia but if u actually look af the physical disc they always stated there was a joint venture with so so def. Jd was always getting a piece no matter what bow thought.

[@HiHello-wz6bx]

Absolutely

[@kachemyles7942]

​@DFRNTVIEWSTV Bow is talking about the late 90s to early thousands. Also, if I found an artist and they sign to another label...yes I will be on that contract to get a piece. That does not mean hes signed to SoSoDef, just means JD is getting paid for the referral.

[@DFRNTVIEWSTV]

@@kachemyles7942 he was def so sos def in the 90s every album afterwards doggybag was Columbia exclusively but on the physical disc it says in print “ there was a joint venture between so so def and Columbia “ honestly Columbia should have left it alone so it didn’t cause confusion. I honestly don’t think bow wow knows what he talkin about kinda like blueface didnt even know what all labels he was signed to looking dumb.

I think jd's problem is he's not vocal enough when it come to certain things. His temperament is laid back and passive, and he said in the janet documentary that he hates confrontation. He let bow wow be mad at him and feel like he abandoned him at columbia instead of explaining that he was contractually unable to take him to Arista.

[@devin837]

It will never be a "problem" for JD choosing not to discuss certain topics, it's bow wows problem. JD being JD will never be HIS problem. Bow wow is not honest and him lashing out like a child caused issues with his career and personal life. JD's career is still thriving and always will. It's Bow wow's problem that JD won't speak on alot of shit If I was JD I wouldn't go back and forth with no damn bow wow he a STILL a damn child. and watching him on guhh just confirmed how right i am and self destructive he is.

@@MatrixDesigner85 Because JD was the actual brains. Bow for all his talent really has not done anywhere near as well without JD. JD on the other hand is in the song writing hall of fame. He absolutely did not need Bow wow at all. Don’t get me wrong it helped to have a talent like that but he was already established before and after him he kept on thriving with plenty of other artist. Bow musically? Not so much. Without JD he simply was not the same period.

[@20YearSoul]

​​@@MatrixDesigner85 Because Bow Wow was 15/16 when this happened and all he knew was JD. Like he says his that was a father figure to him. So he trusted him completely personally. Say you have someone always cooking for you. You try to go to the kitchen and learn but they tell you they got you, don't worry about cooking time and getting hands dirty, they'll feed you. Then they stop cooking and you're mad you don't know how to cook but more mad they stifled you instead of setting you up to be on your own. I think if Bow Wow was older when it happened he would've been talking to more people in management and production to learn things and see his own paperwork but he was a 10th grader🤷🏾‍♀️ and he was only going to his 'dad' who was essentially saying "I'll tell you when you're older"
