Bow Wow Doesn’t Want A Relationship With His Father

Bow Wow Baby

By: Taren Vaughan

Bow Wow has made headlines this week several times, unfortunately not for the good stuff. The recent buzz about the Young Money rapper was that he was a dead beat dad to his one-year-old daughter Shai. The person behind revealing this supposed truth to the public was Najah Chavis, sister to Joie Chavis who is the mother of Bow Wow’s daughter. Najah Chavis went on an angry Twitter rant that appeared to be her attempt to kill any thoughts in people’s minds of Bow Wow being a good parent. Bow Wow’s mom, Teresa was also mentioned in Chavis’ tweets with Chavis saying that as a grandmother she didn’t do much for the child either.

With knowledge of the rant that she went on, Bow Wow hopped on his Twitter account and let it be known he did not plan on responding to the accusations of being a dead beat dad at all:

Najah Chavis wasn’t the only person who had something to say to Bow Wow. Bow Wow’s father Alfonso Moss wrote a lengthy letter to the rapper in response to a video clip on Vibe.com where Bow Wow asked his father “Are you clean?” during a conversation,  a question that his father took offense to and responded that he was “not a junkie” in his letter. In the letter, his father also applauds Bow Wow’s efforts for being a good father to his daughter which is now up for questioning because of the baby mama’s sister’s earlier comments on his supposed awful parenting skills.

As some of his followers suggested that he reach out to his father, Bow Wow is not going for that because to him, they never had a real relationship with each other anyway:

Bow Wow’s father had a lot of stuff on his chest that he let off, a mixture of apologetic yet hurt emotions for how things are between them and the rocky past that has been hard to get over. It’s apparent though that Bow Wow isn’t pressed at all to reconcile with his father or hear what he has to say.

  1. This is just a sad situation. I don’t know what happened between the two but it’s always sad to hear about a man who has no kind of relationship with his father. Hopefully, he’ll use that as motivation to be an even better father to his daughter. I hope the rumors of him not doing so are not true.

  2. Call me crazy but I’m starting to believe what Bow Wow’s baby momma’s (I know) sister was saying. I just don’t see why she would do that for money. Who was going t pay her? No one is really checking for him like that, and he just sounded really arrogant. I just don’t get why someone would need to do all of that for fame and money when the celeb involved isn’t even really relevant.

  3. I don’t think people need to judge him for not wanting to talk to his dad. No one knows what happened but them. I read the letter and his dead sounded like a loser. A whole bunch of excuses and not everyone wants to deal with a parent like that.

  4. I think the chick was lying. Bow Wow may not be the most relevant rapper out right now but he has enough money for someone to try to get some out of him. Anytime someone blasts another person on Twitter it is always a motive behind it. A real woman with genuine concerns would just pick up the phone. Her tweets are suspect because her methods were.

  5. There’s a lot of people that feel like Bow Wow. His dad had the chance to be a father and he blew it. Bow Wow doesn’t owe him anything. You can’t command the respect a parent gets when you weren’t a parent.

  6. Bow Wow’s dad is an alcoholic I think. So their relationship isn’t a very good one. But I agree with his dad in the sense that it was wrong to say those things about him in a video. Some things should just be kept in house.

  7. Bow Wow was wrong. You don’t disrespect your parents. Ever! I don’t care that you don’t like them but you should respect them anyway. There’s a time and place for these kinds of issues, but why put your business out there in that way?

  8. This is sad. Bow Wow has been going through some things for the last few years, and I just really hope he uses his music to get his life back in order. He has a daughter now and he needs to get more focused on his career. It’s just sad that everyone went after him around the same time frame.
