Bow Wow Reacts To Catfish Episode

Tuesday night, the internet went crazy during this week’s Catfish episode on MTV. Nevax reads an email form 19-year-old Keyonnah; from a small time in North Carolina. She stated that she in an “online turned very passionate relationship with someone who appears to be the rapper Bow Wow.” From their they found it hard to believe that it was really Bow Wow, if he found a woman online that he was interested in he would definitely take the time out to see her in person. Wait there’s more!

The reason Keyonnah believed that she was really talking to Bow Wow is because he sent over $10,000 in the four months they’ve known each other. I know you’re thinking about how crazy that is it right? She explained that the money was sent to her from Bow’s assistant Larry Brown.  She saved most of the money and used the rest to help her family members with bills as well as her daughter’s daycare.

After all the research was done and they traveled to Atlanta to meet “Bow”, they find out that the guy who pretended to be Bow Wow is really a 23-year-old woman named Dee. Dee is a rapper who goes by Dee Pimpin. From there Keyonnah was heartbroken, she couldn’t believed that she was deceived by what she had hopes was real.

After the show aired and it was the trending topic of the day, Bow Wow decided to speak and give his reaction. He took his show’s website BET “106 & Park” to address the situation. He actually feels honored that someone pretended to be him.

"Look at me," he says to the camera. "You can't impersonate this. These eyes, these ain't contacts. You can't buy these and put these in your eyes to think that you're Bow Wow. These tattoos on my body? These are permanent. You cannot draw these on. There's only one. There can only be one. Not two, one. Just one, and that's me."

Bow Wow is known for famously dating both Ciara and Angela Simmons, then added his feelings about online dating. “Everyone out there Internet cyber-dating, make sure you know who you're talking to. That's the best thing I can say. That's why I don't really do things like that, I don't talk to women over the Internet," he said before cracking up: "I'm lying, I do it all the time!"

Check out the video below to see his response.

Lauryn Hill Released From Prison & Releases "Consumerism"

This is exciting news for most fans; Lauryn Hill was released from prison earlier today. The ex-Fugees singer was convicted on failure to pay taxes and was sentenced to 3 months in jail.

To celebrate her release from prison, the singer released a new track for her fans titled “Consumerism” which will be featured on her upcoming project Letters From Exile. Along with the new record, there was a message from Lauryn via her personal Tumblr to talk more about the track:

"Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven’t been able to watch the news too much recently, so I’m not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn’t imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking it’s level." 

- Ms. Lauryn Hill

Check out and download "Consumerism" below.

Drake's "Nothing Was The Same" Tops Billboard Charts

Drake’s third studio album sold 658,000 copies during the first week of its release, making this his best album debut in his career. His album Take Care in 2011 sold 631,000 copies in the first week. In 2010 Thank Me Later launched with 447,000 at No.1. In 2009 his debut EP So Far Gone landed at No.6 with 73,000. I think it’s safe to say that “nothing was the same.”

This has been the best debut week for any album this year, following Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience which pushed 968,000 albums in March.  Not to mention, Drake’s first week album sales are reported to be best hip-hop release since Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV which sold 964,000 copies in the first week in 2011.
