Bow Wow started trending on Twitter after an internet user asked fans to name three songs from the rapper’s musical catalog.
On Sunday night, Twitter user @mellyVswizik initiated the conversation by writing, “Imagine a nigga puts a gun to your head and tells you to name 3 Bow Wow songs.” The tweet quickly went viral as fans defended the “Like You” artist, naming several of his hits.
“‘Like You,’ ‘Shorty Like Mine,’ ‘Bow Wow (What’s My Name),’ ‘Fresh Azimiz,’ ‘Bounce With Me,’ ‘Basketball,’ ‘Let Me Hold You,’ ‘Outta My System,’” tweeted @KirkWrites79.
