Rapper Shad Moss aka “Bow Wow” made a sketchy post on Instagram that had fans scratching their head.  “Sometimes i REALLY wish i never existed… i can never do SHIT RIGHT EVEN WHEN IM DOING RIGHT! Im better off …..”

The “Growing Up Hip-Hop” star also took to Twitter to express his feelings.

Unsure of what motivated the comment, many speculated that the behavior could be linked to a beef with Chris Brown. A few weeks ago Bow dropped a new song that addressed what many thought to be a diss track directed at Brown. ” I skipped a show just so I could see you Chris. Day ones, me and you been through a lot of sh*t. He rapped, “And it kill me when we in public and we ain’t speaking to each other. We grown men, let’s turn this sh-t around.” Chris Brown responded in his comments and asked ” 🤨   IM CONFUSED.. U good bro?”

Bow later disputed the rumor and said, “It’s not a diss it’s a simple damn I miss my dawh what happen to us sh**.”

Yet and still fans jumped in to offer the “Like You” rapper encouragement.

“you’re still one of my favorites bro keep your head up”

“I’d honestly be so broken if something was to ever happen to you 😭 I wish you would make music like the old times ! Everyone else music now days is waaaack

“You tweaking bro chill.”

“Go see a therapist”

“You have a daughter to live for seek help There’s a lot of resources out there I’m praying for you 🙏 bow wow”

The rapper seemed to be back at work after short-lived cry for help. In an Instagram post he said, “Groundwork. Dropping a record is like growing flowers. Theres steps before you reach the final stage. The seed is planted the record is growing ITS STILL NEW!!! and without ads we already getting spins. 2 more days of promo then I’m shooting the #YEAAHH video I promise this video will be so legendary. TRUST ME!!!! Video drops…. GAME OVER”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
