Bow Wow took to X (formerly Twitter) on May 29 to stir the pot with an exciting announcement: “Bow Wow x Chris Brown… June 2024.”
Remember Bow Wow from the 2000s? Hits like “Shortie Like Mine” and “Like You” made him a household name. But in 2009, he stepped away from the music scene, focusing instead on reality TV and hosting gigs. It’s been a successful shift, but now, it seems he’s gearing up to drop some new tunes.
This tweet wasn’t some cryptic hint. It was as straightforward as it gets, setting fans on high alert for what’s to come. Given their history, a musical collaboration seems the most obvious outcome. Bow Wow and Chris Brown previously worked together on “Shortie Like Mine” in 2006, a track that peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the US Hot Rap Songs chart. Certified Platinum, it’s still one of Bow Wow’s standout hits.
And it wasn’t just a one-off. The duo followed up with “Outta My System” in 2006 and “Ain’t Thinkin’ Bout You” in 2009. Their chemistry is undeniable, and fans have been eagerly waiting for them to team up again.
This upcoming collaboration is likely tied to Bow Wow’s long-awaited album, Before 30. Initially announced in 2021, Bow Wow told Hot 97 that it would be his final musical project. “I’ma do one more album,” he said. “It’s gonna be the last one and it’s gonna be called Before 30. I’ma have Snoop [Dogg] narrate the whole thing. So it’s gonna be kind of a different project, 10 songs.”
In 2022, Bow Wow updated fans on the album, revealing plans to release it through Death Row Records, now owned by Snoop Dogg. He tweeted, “Spoke to Snoop last week. Very soon. My plan is to put my final album on Death Row and close my music career out where it began. I’m tryna do the D Wade and come home and close it out.”
After a period of silence, this latest teaser suggests that Bow Wow is finally ready to roll out Before 30. Fans are buzzing, and the anticipation is real. What will Bow Wow and Chris Brown bring to the table this time? Only time will tell, but the excitement is palpable.
Bow Wow’s announcement has set the stage for what promises to be an exciting musical reunion with Chris Brown. As the clock ticks down to June 2024, fans are brimming with anticipation for the duo’s next big hit.
