Bow Wow has responded to Da Brat calling him out over his comments about Jermaine Dupri and 106 & Park, saying he’d never engage in a war of words with his former labelmate.
The “Like You” star sparked a heated debate over the weekend by disputing Dupri’s claim that he came up with the idea for BET’s 106 & Park as a Black-friendly alternative to MTV’s popular countdown show TRL (Total Request Live).
“JD aint create 106&Park stop the cap,” Bow Wow, who hosted the show between 2012 and 2014, tweeted on Sunday (December 18). “Stephen hill Rick Ghrimes & all the great people in the BET OFFICE & staff created that show. All i did was capitalize off of what they created and made it mine. I would know…. I am mr 106! I would never take away from someones creativity.”
Da Brat, one of the most successful and longest-serving acts on Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def label, didn’t take kindly to Bow Wow’s attempt to “discredit” Dupri and put the rapper/actor on blast in an Instagram post.
“Man wtf? I really don’t have the time or patience for this shit but I got BOTH TODAY,” she wrote. “Bow what I can’t letchu do is discredit my big brother JD who u called your dad for so many years cuz that is pretty much the roll you gave him and instead of sayin hell no, he rocked w it.
“You are being so rude and disrespectful to the person who believed in you, nurtured you, made you a complete star, wrote all yo hits, accepted the challenge when Snoop brought you to him. He has never done ANYTHING to you but help. I aint’ finna letchu drag the most non confrontational person who loved, cared for u and spoiled yo ass for years.”
She added: “He isn’t and never would discredit BET execs. He discussed creating 106 b4 it was created so black people could have their own TRL. NO CAP! If this is watchu wanna do…LET’S FUCKIN GO! Pull up lil n-gga witcho disrespectful ass. So ungrateful.”
The Funkdafied rapper kept her foot on Bow Wow’s neck in her caption, writing: “@shadmoss You really on some BULLSHIT RIGHT NOW. Now u KNOW I got ALL da receipts and know the WHOLE stories to ALOT ALOT!
“Don’t do this. Respect a legend. Respect a cultural icon. Respect the person who made your career what it is. I’m asking you now to please stop. I’m sorry @jermainedupri I cannot be silent about this shit any longer.”
Bow Wow reacted to Da Brat’s stern post while addressing the fallout to his comments on Twitter on Monday morning (December 19). “Man i ld never go back n forth with brat online. she know that. We spoke yesterday,” he wrote in response to a fan who brought up his former labelmate’s post.
In response to another fan who urged him to take a less diplomatic approach to Da Brat’s comments, he tweeted: “Yo chill. I have the upmost respect for brat. Thats my word. I would never disrespect her and she knows that. She just taking up for her dawg as she should. She the real day 1. Not me.”
He also left a comment on Da Brat’s Instagram post that read: “I dont mess with brat when she off henny [crying face emoji] ima call her tomorrow hahaha [halo emoji].”
In other tweets, Bow Wow defended his original comments as him “telling the truth” and pointed out that former BET executive Stephen Hill also challenged Dupri’s assertion that he created 106 & Park.
“We live in a weird time when telling the truth is being rude. Or keeping it a buck is disrespectful…. You cant be serious,” he wrote, before adding: “I aint even do nothing i said it was a lie. Stephen hill even came out and said it was a lie. Hahaha how is that rude? Now lying and taking credit is cool? Come on bro.”
In an Instagram comment shared on Bow Wow’s Instagram Stories, Hill wrote in response to Dupri’s claim: “Yeahhhhhhh our memories on how 106 & Park was created differ GREATLY. now, NO ONE challenges that Bow Wow helped launch 106 to great heights…that is for sure true. But ‘CREATED BY ME’ might be a bit of an overstep for ya, my man. Love you ALWAYS!!!”
The comments that sparked the whole debate came during JD’s recent appearance on the The GAUDS Show podcast. “106 & Park was created by me. I created the show for Bow Wow,” the So So Def founder said.
“I was watching MTV, and MTV had TRL. And they were catering to NSYNC and they were catering to Backstreet Boys and anything white that was coming out that was Pop. And I was like, ‘Yo, we don’t have nothing for Black people like that. Like, where’s the Black kids that love music, why don’t they have a show like that?’
He continued: “So I called Stephen Hill and I said, ‘Yo, I got an artist, we need to make a show just like TRL.’ And he said, ‘What’s the artist?’ And I said Bow Wow. Everybody challenges what I’m saying. Mind you, they wasn’t gonna put Bow Wow on TRL like that because he was a rapper. He was a Black, little young boy rapping. But he also was 12 years old. Nobody on TV was 12 years old anywhere creating this type of pandemonium.”
Black ppl pretty much just take ideas or things created by white people add the word black onto it and act like they just created something new out of thin air lol
And white people pretty much take everything from everybody. Took the country from the Native Americans, took the Blacks from Africa to build the country they took, took most of the bottom states like California and Texas from Mexico, even down to hip hop, took that and control it while we all know who does the creating. Need I go on?
Right just like white people haven’t stolen ideas, styles, whole legacies, cultures, religions, lifestyles, land, and called it theirs. Sit your ass down somewhere clown.
Your kidding right? A culture who has never had one original thought unless it was to discredit, disrespect, bring some kind of harm or death to the people they stole from? Check the word iconoclasm. The biggest liars, rapest, thieves and murders in the history of the world and for those of you who are not like your white counterparts, you better talk to’em.
Man please white ppl been stealing from blacks thats why y’all didn’t want us to be educated all the inventions blacks came up with white ppl took over cause black ppl wasn’t aloud to read please the lies..
Yeah white people dominted.. sorry you guys have tried but could never keep up, yall used to go to war w sticks LOL… yall got a what 15000 year head start on every race according to black people righ?
Yall talk culture but why don’t u live in mud houses ur culture started that. Be proud and building more 2 live in… ur culture was also 10xxl long tees..why no more? Only thing blck ppl create was hiphop and stupid dances
Wtf, how this shit turn color bound. Two black men have a disagreement and this is the response??! I’m just dumb founded
Everything w the blck race is color bound. And she mentioned copying TRL specifically for blck people no other races.. so yeah by default it’s a race convo.. always wanna segregate when it convenient and also call people racist for segregating when is also convenient
“Only Thing Black people Create Is hip hop and stupid dances”
Stay off the drugs and try reading a book..Oh my bad they are mostly white washed by your ancestors
Aaahhh…Here we see the supremacist in his natural filthy habitat. Knowing that his kind originated in lands with no natural resources, lived in their own sewage and took diseases all over the world, he still thinks (because of weapons) they are superior. While even the sun is harmful to their skin, blue eyes are recessive and they are naturally physically slower & weaker, and their numbers are rapidly dropping….he still believes he is a god. How cute. Yet, insignificant. 😁😁
We as black people have never stolen anything from the white race. It was always the white race stealing our ideas and taking credit for our invention. For example the traffic light you use to make sure your caucasian ass can make it to your destination safely. A black person also invented the microwave and the entire idea and invention was stolen by a white person. I could go on and on but it’s all in our history so there is no need to. In order to claim something was stolen it would be exactly the same in every way and that’s not what happened here.Whoever created 106&Park simply came up with a show like every network does to display entertainment for black people that could not do so on other networks. The name was different, the music was different , and of course the people involved were different . So we didn’t steal shit. All we did was mimic the idea of having a show so that black people could be equally entertained by their own race just like MTV. Everything about 106&Park was DIFFERENT.
You ninjas mad white people are better than you at everything from conquering land to creating systems so smart you dumb ninjas can’t figure out to everything else like cars and all the 💩 you people blow your money on now and make us more rich!! All you do is sell dope/drugs get drunk and high and kill each other lmao too dumb for anything else except blame whitey for everything since you hate it so much pack your ghettos up and move back to living in mud huts with no clean water or enough food lmao bums
So sad that you’re so uneducated. But what you expect when your father and grandfather is the same person. That’s what inbreeding does to ppl. Keyboard warrior who wouldn’t dare say these comments to a black person’s face. Coward!
Go kiss your cousin trailer trash lol
Proud to be white: You’re the only group of people in history evil enough to drop nukes on two cities killing women and children; committed genocide against American Indians along with stealing their native land, also marched them on foot across the nation in what is called the trail of tears thousands died along the way; conducted experiments on Black soldiers giving them diseases just to see how it would effect them. Question: why didn’t you drop nukes on Hitler and the German women and children? Hitler was far more deserving than the Japanese people. Son you are a simple minded hate monger, weak minded. I bet you think your family owned slaves funny because slaves were so expensive that you probably could not buy even one slave with annual earnings. The large plantation owners were like today’s billionaires and if your family had of done that you would have generational wealth. You’re just poor White Trash, so go back to the trailer parker nail your sister-cousin and create more inbred rug-rats.
You do know that blacks aren’t the only race that do drugs. That’s the only reason why drugs are a problem because it’s a WHITE PROBLEM NOW as will as any other race. I’m so sick and tired of ALL RACES PUTTING EACH OTHER DOWN!!! We all need to change but blacks stay like this because it’s ppl like u still on the SAME BULLSHIT!!! Love more and hate less the man upstairs will be more welcoming when it time to ask him to open those gates!!! God bless us ALL!!!!
Nothing to be mad about. You Caucus Mountains cave beasts were NEVER better than us and never will be. That’s why y’all had to steal and use guns to conquer us and Native Americans. Weak people and always will be. Your father and Uncle is the same person, that’s why you’re mad and spewing LIES. Go back to the caves recessive DNA trash cans
White people stole black people ideas and made it there own. They weren’t smart enough to start anything. Black people weren’t able to defend themselves and it’s sad. White peoples new if we stuck together we would defeat them that’s white we were enslaved and killed. This world is evil and racist.
What you talking about steal? Black peoples enslaved blacks as well. Don’t act like you didn’t know that. Guess what, whites also helped fight to free slaves.
Black people have no idea how to stick together. 7/10 kids born out of wedlock. Your dollar is black communities only stays there for 7 hours.
