50. It's amazing how many racist comments I have read on this blog.

Someone said that since Bow Wow is a black "musician", then that automatically means that he's on drugs. That is one of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard.

Since when does being BLACK have anything to do with drugs? How can you link the two. I guess some ignorant people have forgotten that ALL races have people who do drugs. I mean for God's sake...look at Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Robert Downey, Jr., Amy Winehouse, Kenny Chesney, Charlie Sheen, etc. So what does being black have to do with it.

Exhaustion is very serious. I have experienced it, and I am not on drugs at all! Some of you really need to check yourself. The racist comments just shows your high level of ignorance.

51. I HIGHLY doubt that the cause of Bow Wow's hospitalization is because of an overdose. And for those who think that it is, its haters like you that made him famous to began with. I've supported Bow Wow since day #1 and if you're a true fan you would to. Until Bow Wow comes to the public and says that he was on drugs, I'm not going to believe it. Stress and exhaustion can really have an affect on people. Bow Wow, get well, and I'll see you at the next concert near Louisville, Ky. (I AM YOUR #1 FAN.)

56. Aww!..Bowwow, Oh man, this guy is going crazy, he is going through lots and lots of stress!!!!!..Ciara ia in the middle too, he really likes her, && he manly self disses him everywhere. She needs to be more nice, &&& stop being so mean. He is mental tripping, i think it is time for him to retire right now, &&& do what JayZ do, come back later, like you never did retire. You know, not the old fashion way. He needs to rest, artists only get 2 or 3 hrs of sleep. Like soulja Boy, he only get hours like 1 or 2. But Bowwow is older, so he is slowing down a little, he needs to be treated, && i heard he cut his hand..Oh boy, he needs help ASAP!..omarion needs to fly solo again, becuase his partner has issues that need to be solve. Bowwow's carreer exp was back in June of 2007, he doesn't make any records, or anything. I think that song with Tpain came out in 2007, i don't know, it was a long long long time ago. But he needs more songs if he want to be respected in the game, becuase he is a now just a kity,.and he wants to be a DOG!...TOO LATE BOWWEEZY!..step your A GAME UP, my dudes, much L O V 3!...
