CELEBRITY THURSDAYS - BOW WOW!!!!!

HOW MUCH DOES NOT HAVING A FATHER AFFECTS YOU AS A DAD?

Okay so Bow Wow is a new father, congratulations and I’m very happy for him. I’m not going to get in all the controversy about baby mama drama and such the like, like tabloids giants TMZ. However I chose Shad “Bow Wow” Moss for Celebrity Thursdays because I wanted to talk about growing up without a father, and after reading articles and stories about his life and also tweets that he posted, I wanted to show that not having a relationship with a parent does have some ill effect even if you have all the money in the world and you think you don’t need them

We know that Bow Wow was crowned the “Prince of Hip Hop” because he became famous before he was even 10 and basically a child prodigy who wanted nothing or needed anything…Oh contrary, Bow Wow didn’t have everything that he wanted, he had a very strong and supportive mother who even became his manager at one point and was ever present with her son in his early years but still something was missing; Bow wow was missing a father.

Bow wow has always addressed his father's absence, he has released a song called 'Father's Day,' in which he chronicled their non-existent relationship. "It's too late homey, don't even bother," he rapped. "You know how much stress you done caused my mama/ Because you wasn't around it was so much drama/Think picking up a 40 gonna' solve your problems/Tried talking to you but that don't change much/Gave you some money but you fucked that all up."

Its hard not having your father around and it plays on your emotions, by making someone pregnant doesn’t make you a father, there isn’t a manual to teach you how to be a father. A lot of fathers today basically are raising their kids like how their father raised them and by using those same values that their fathers instill in them. Now not having a father around basically makes it hard for us and people like Bow Wow to instill values that we never got the chance to experience because of the absent presence of a dad

I personally think its gonna be rough for Bow Wow trying to live his life that is in the spotlight, being young, handling his baby mother and also trying to be a great dad to Shai. Even though I think its going to be rough I think that he will be fine especially with the values that his mom has instill in him and that goes for a lot of who have had absentee parents. Not having that parent around only makes you not want to make the same mistake that your father or mother did by not being there for you. I know I personally walk around with a bit of hate in my heart which is not good but I know for a fact that when I get my baby girl like Bow Wow or a baby boy I’m going to try and give them everything my father didn’t give me, not to show and prove but because it’s the right thing to do.. All the best Bow, and to all the you young fathers out there..Be the best that you can be to your young one
