Rapper Bow Wow has a message for other rappers who continue to stay afoul of the law: “stop doing dumb sh*t!”
In an interview with Real Talk NY, Bow Wow, who is signed to Lil Wayne’s Cash Money Records, talked about visiting his boss in prison earlier this year (Weezy was released from Rikers Island early this morning).
Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss, said Lil Wayne told him, “Bow, this ain’t for us, this ain’t for rich ni**as.” Bow said seeing Weezy behind bars was like a wake up call for him.
Citing the recent arrest of rapper Gucci Mane, Bow urged black men – and rappers in particular — to step it up and stop giving police the power to lock them up.
“They lookin’ at us like we dumb! “The Police, they waitin’ on us ’cause they know,” said the 23-year-old Ohio native who was raised by an intelligent black woman.
“Us as black men we just gotta wake up and stop doing dumb sh*t,” he said. “If you love what you do so much, you not gonna jeopardize that nor f*ck it up!”

Bow also cautioned rappers (and professional basketball players) to watch what they say on Twitter.
“They watchin’ every move! You see ni**as get indicted now for gettin’ on the Internet blogging… Ni**as is snitchin’ on they selves!”
Gucci Mane, who was arrested in Atlanta on traffic and obstruction charges on Monday, was released and the charges were dropped.
But according to a credible source, the state’s probation office is considering whether to file new charges against Gucci for violating his probation. Which means he may be sent back to prison.
Bow Wow wisely ignored the rumors put out by washed up singer Raz B, formerly of boy band B2K.
