Bow Wow Threatens to ‘Pimp’ Melania Trump in Misguided Attempt to Defend Snoop Dogg

Shad Moss, also known as Bow Wow, is garnering zero support from Black Twitter for threatening to pimp out First Lady Melania Trump after taking issue with Donald Trump’s tweet about “uncle” Snoop Dogg.

The former rapper posted (and later deleted) the foul message Tuesday, March 15, hours after President Trump accused Snoop of having a “failing” career. Trump threatened Snoop with jail time over the MC’s “Lavender” music video, in which Snoop fired a toy gun at “Ronald Klump,” a clown version of Trump.

The message didn’t sit well with Black Twitter, which swiftly put distance between the community and Moss, who didn’t vote in the 2016 presidential election because of his supposed mixed heritage.

Some praised Moss’ way of easing tension between political parties.

Others questioned his place in the world of feuds.

Some doubted that Snoop would be a willing accomplice in Moss’ threatened prostitution of Melania Trump.

Users also wondered if Moss is now being watched by the federal government.

Moss wasn’t the only entertainer to defend Snoop. T.I. ditched the pleasantries to issue a viral beatdown o Trump with a series of harsh adjectives on Instagram Wednesday night.

“Leave our legends names out ya f—– old ass puppy piss smelling ass mouth.” Tip said.

Amid all the social media hoopla surrounding Snoop’s remix on BadBadNotGood’s “Lavender,” the MC isn’t commenting.

“I’ve got nothing to say, mate,” he says cheekily in a Wednesday night Instagram video.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
