While viewing the pictures taken at the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards, I laughed along with you at rapper Bow Wow’s comical outfit decked out with blue Xmas lights. And just like you, I noticed the “FREE BART” t-shirt Bow Wow wore underneath his hoodie.
According to an industry insider, Bow Wow wore the shirt to pay respect to his longtime friend Bart, who I always assumed was a So So Def employee, but he isn’t. Anyone who is involved in the Atlanta entertainment industry has seen or met Bart. He is Bow Wow’s road dog, who has been with Bow Wow almost from the beginning of his career.
For years, Bart was a constant presence at So So Def events. Always at Bow Wow’s side or sometimes with Jermaine Dupri. Bart had a quiet, calm demeanor and always kept his cool. He was very nice.
It comes as a shock to hear that Bart was allegedly picked up by the Feds and is now being held in federal custody without bond.
I have no clue what his charges are, but I just want to say to Bart: hold your head up kid! You have many friends out here who are praying for you and your beautiful baby daughter.
