Stupid Name that shows no creativity, He doesn't even write his own lyrics (and the Lyrics in his songs are stupid as well), his voice sounds like he's been choking on that cough syrup he's been addicted to...
He's 30-something years old and he's still calling himself little. Bow wow was originally known as lil bow wow but changed his name over time as he got older.
Hate his name. His music sucks. Never just start with gangsta rap music then switch to making love songs.
The reason he calls himself lil is that he is short guys, we all know that he is not that young
