Bow Wow‘s latest performance has social media equal parts confused and upset.
The “Like You” rapper was in Houston on Friday (January 15) along with Meek Mill at Clé Houston as part of a celebrity birthday weekend. While Bow wasn’t the only artist performing inside the packed venue, fans quickly pointed out the lack of social distancing and lack of masks. Currently, Houston has a 20 percent positivity rate for COVID-19 and has set numerous records in the past week for the number of new cases.
Zach Despart, a writer for the Houston Chronicle, wrote on Twitter, “#Houston has a 20% positivity rate and they’ve discovered the more contagious UK COVID strain here. Risk that to see Bow Wow?”
Despart wasn’t alone in his thoughts regarding packed clubs in Houston amid the pandemic. Numerous fans on Twitter were quick to wonder if the pandemic would ever end if people were willingly taking time out of a Friday night to see Bow or Meek.
“These people went to the club IN A PLAGUE with no masks on TO SEE BOW WOW perform in 2021,” Kirk A. Moore, a native Houstonian and current writer for 50 Cent’s For Life series on ABC wrote.
Another Twitter user wrote, “I can think of a million better ways to die… but to be struggling on a vent bc you went to see bow wow in the year of our lord 2021… that ain’t it.”
Currently, Texas has seen a massive spike in COVID-19 cases across the board, particularly in large cities such as Houston. As of Saturday (January 16), Harris County had reported 3,413 new cases of COVID-19 in the area and 38,655 confirmed new cases since January 2. Per the city’s COVID-19 dashboard, the city has nearly 19,000 active cases of COVID-19.
A Possible Bow Wow & Soulja Boy Verzuz Has Fans Going Scream Tour Crazy On Twitter
The recent string of celebrity pop up performances in clubs across the country can widely be blamed due to the pandemic. As touring and more came to a halt last March, the music industry posted a reported $30 billion loss in regards to cancelations, venue spaces not being used and more. Artists have instead side-stepped coronavirus concerns by performing and holding large gatherings such as birthday parties and album releases, all in the name of securing the bag.
In Bow Wow’s case, fans were vicious not only to clown the multi-platinum rapper but also to question risking their health while the world is still in the midst of a pandemic. Check out some of the more vicious reactions below.
People pay to see little bow wow? Wow.
Bow wow killin it
I think you mean Them… Bow Wow is killing Them
Looks like they have had a better time than I have had since last March. I’m jealous
Guess they want to die painfully…a Bow Wow concert is the way to go I guess… slow, takes a while, no contact allowed until after been quarantined for 14 days and the shame for attending will last for a lifetime if you survive.
99.8% chance of survival. Shame is forever. The shame of getting this virus is worse than the virus. You sound like you’re part of the blue checkmark mafia. You idiots act like this the bubonic plague. People like you are part of the reason why we stay locked down. You love having people telling you that you don’t have any rights. Bet you are also the same type of person that was looting stores during the riots that everyone all the sudden acting like didn’t happen.
You sound like you’re a part of the Short Bus Mafia. Still bitter that Trump isn’t gonna be president after the 20th. Let it go, Homo. My God. You f***** are dumb as hell too for also thinking that y’all going to get pardons for the riot crimes. He can’t even pardon himself so fat chance of y’all getting one dumb fucks. People like you are the reason the virus is spreading in the first goddamn place cuz you fucktards don’t want to follow simple instructions (much like most of y’all can’t read) like wearing masks and following proper social distancing guidelines. If y’all at least did that some what correctly, the numbers wouldn’t be so high and we wouldn’t be in such a severe lockdown. But what can I expect from simple mind people who’ve never understood government structure or ever served their country to be able to do some simple like follow order or direct especially if it’s going to safe the lives of not only yourself but also your friends and family.
You should socially distance from you keyboard cause clearly your common sense is socially distancing from you. I am easily the most hated person on here. Y’all say nothing except regurgitated narrative talking points. When all else fails you try to talk down on me and make comments in my handle that I use in order to discredit what I say. It’s pretty entertaining, and almost flattering really. Almost. You group me like I am part of that group that went in to Capitol and put my feet up on your precision Nancy Pelosi’s desk. Wonder where her laptop is…? Honestly don’t care much that Trump isn’t going to be president anymore. All this has done has made conservative and republicans stand up and speak out. Y’all got to do it for 4 years. Russian collusion and these fake impeachment’s that mean nothing. So it looks like we will doing the same. Filing for impeachment on your savior. It will be a shitty 4 years, but I am sure going to enjoy watching most of you realize that this isn’t a good thing. Feel free to ignore the fact that ignored your partisan bs you out on here about me getting a pardon. I didn’t do anything. Your side won’t have to worry about pardons though. Cause it’s only ok if it’s your side commuting political violence. However, if they did. At the very least they would take comfort in knowing that they could be on the run on whatever Nike was stolen during the mostly peaceful riots. Never stop stopping friend.
Didn’t see anyone worried about Covid during BLM protests.
1 That was outdoors. 2 It was fighting for political and social change. This was for a bow wow concert.
Why you here simp? Get back to sniffing your mothers underwear in the basement instead of whimpering on here about BLM
a lil’ bow wow concert to die for.
bunch of uneducated folks on twitter
Just hand me the gun. *Chambers a round* *Pop* *Body Drops*
Damn…he didn’t even make it through the first song before he killed himself. That’s sad
The biggest problem is people post on their social media accounts from places that are on total lockdown and assume the whole country is under the same rules. People should get the fuck off social media and stop worrying about what Lil Bow Wow’s fans are doing and start worrying about what the people in your neighborhood are doing. They the ones that gonna get you sick.
People have a choice. This isn’t sir bowards fault. He didn’t force them to be there.
If you’re at a Bow Wow concert, you’re a certified loser.
Bow Wow has hits B. Still must be crazy to be spitting tracks from when you were 12-19 years old as a 32 year old man.
I would donkey fuck the shit out of Jeffree Star
