Bow Wow Faces Backlash For Saying He Misses Diddy’s Parties Following His Arrest

The “Like You” rapper clarified that he missed the parties, not “freak offs,” but it didn’t help.

Bow Wow has a habit of bringing heat onto himself, but his latest comments couldn’t have come at a worse time. The 37-year-old rapper recently claimed that he missed Diddy‘s parties and the internet did not approve of this admission, given the controversial mogul’s recent arrest and year-long legal ordeals related to alleged rape, sex trafficking, and more.

“Bruh supposed to be on a 250-foot yacht with his wife, legs up, chilling,” the Like Mike actor said on Rocsi Diaz’s More To The Story podcast. “It seems unreal at times. Me and Jermaine [Dupri] spoke about and I was like, ‘I never thought we would see him in this position. Ever.’ He’s like the gatekeeper to the game. To the point where… BET Awards weekend? The past two, they just didn’t feel right ’cause there was no motion, there was no parties, there was nowhere to go.”

The “Outta My System” artist clarified that he didn’t mean the “freak offs” that were discussed by the federal government. “I said, ‘Jermaine, there’s no parties!’” he added. “You feel it, it’s like a hole. He was everything Hip-Hop! For that to die out, you just would have never thought… It’s sad and it’s messed up that we gotta witness this.”

Send him back to the orphanage

“Fiending for Diddy Party’s is crazy,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Dude should have just stayed quiet.” Another user got personal with Bow Wow and shared an anecdote. “Get a load of this loser. We booked him at the club and he couldn’t even give his liquor away to the h*es, they didn’t want it,” they wrote. “A diddy party may actually be his best bet bc I never seen a celebrity w so such inability to get bi**hes.” Another user kept their thoughts short and sweet: “Send him back to the orphanage.”

Bow Wow’s comments were poorly timed, as Diddy is currently behind bars for racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. This happened after an eventful year for the former REVOLT chairman, which started with his ex-girlfriend Cassie filing a lawsuit against him for rape and trafficking in November 2023. The former couple ended up settling outside of court for an undisclosed amount, but this opened the floodgates for more women to come forward with their lawsuits.

Things hit a new level when Homeland Security raided his Los Angeles and Miami homes in March as part of a federal investigation. In May, footage surfaced of him assaulting Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. He apologized for his conduct, just five months after claiming none of the allegations against him were true. And finally, in September, Puff was arrested in New York City and denied bail on multiple occasions.
