Bow Wow to Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane & T.I. – “Stop Doing Dumb Sh*T!”

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!”

Monica? No, it’s Dondria
Normally I wouldn’t waste my time writing a Dondria post because she’s disrespectful for personal reasons.
But I just received these images of newcomer Dondria and she looked familiar. After giving it careful thought, it suddenly occurred to me that she reminded me of my friend Monica.
While Dondria wishes she had Monica’s bloodline (and career), she will have to settle for jacking her image.
Here’s what her reps had to say about the photo shoot. Please note that this email is posted as is.

Is Phaedra Parks a Liar?
Episode 5 of Real Housewives of Atlanta sparked a new round of criticism toward the resident lawyer and self-professed ‘Southern belle’ Pahedra Parks. It seems Parks can’t keep her lies straight.
In episode 4, didn’t Parks say she first met her husband, ex-con Apollo Nida, in college? How can that be if she’s 38 and Apollo is only 30?
Also, in episode 5, which aired on Monday, Phaedra had difficulty remembering her due date.
Parks also said her doctor planned to induce labor 2 weeks early. Why would a doctor induce labor when it’s not medically necessary? Normally a doctor will wait until after the due date to induce labor.
Phaedra answers the question on the show: she said she asked her OB/GYN doctor when was the earliest date that she could safely deliver her son.
