‘The Bag Is Fumbled’: Fans Clown Bow Wow After He Says He Wants to Perform With Ciara Again

Bow Wow and Omarion are making headlines as a duo again since they’ll be going on the “Millennium Tour” together and performing across the United States.

The two recently sat down with Rap Radar’s Brian Miller and Elliott Wilson to talk about the tour, and at one point Bow said he wanted to perform with Ciara again.

That’s because they collaborated on the 2005 song “Like You,” which is off Bow’s album “Wanted.” The pair also dated from 2004 to 2006.

But reuniting with Ciara on stage may serve as a challenge for the “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star, because in July of last year, during a performance at Atlanta’s Elleven45 Lounge, Bow said something about the “Goodies” singer that got him dragged on social media.

“I had this b–tch first,” he said on stage. “You know that, right?”

Bow talked about that moment during his Rap Radar interview and said he’d still like to perform with his ex regardless. In fact, it’s something he’s already attempted.

“We tried,” Bow stated. “But I think after that video that went viral, [performing with Ciara would be a problem]. … It was too much Ciroc. I was feeling myself. … She still performs that record on her set alone.”

After Bow’s words caught people’s attention, he was severely clowned for still trying to perform with the mother of two. Plus, a lot of people reminded him of that July performance at Elleven45.

“If he don’t get tf on somewhere. You blew it tryna be cocky,” one person wrote on Instagram. “That woman is not f–king with you. She f–ks with real men.”

“Because he acted like a clown and disrespected her. He was doing too much. Now, the bag is fumbled.,” another person stated.

“After you recently were so disrespectful to her… have several sits SHAWTY and keep dreaming,” a third person wrote.

Then another Instagram user brought up the singer’s marriage to Russell Wilson.

“Ciara and Russell somewhere laughing at this right now. 💯🤷🏻‍♀️🤣,” that person wrote.

“Bow Wow, shut up. You’ve disrespected her too many times. Next!” someone else weighed in.

“This a living classic example and lesson on NOT BURNING BRIDGES!” another person wrote.

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.
