Bow Wow and Nas don't make the most obvious duo, but apparently, they were plotting a collab seven years ago.
No, this isn't another #BowWowChallenge. The rapper has proof. Over the weekend, Bow Wow shared a screenshot from a Twitter DM conversation he had with Nas in 2011. Bow Wow reached out first, writing, "Big homie, I want u on my album what I gotta do," and ending it with a "Boweezy" signature for some reason. A day later, Nas got back to him: "Peace lil bro send me a contact to reach u."
Bow Wow didn't share details of the conversation that followed, but the collaboration never happened. "I wanted this soooo bad," he wrote. "STILL DO. ONE DAY I PRAY ONE DAY."
After a series of questionable public decisions over the years, Bow Wow has turned into a bit of a punchline, but the conversation with Nas is a reminder of his status in the early 2000s. He does have three platinum albums to his name and millions of copies sold, after all.
Currently, the 31-year-old rapper is preparing to release his new project Greenlight 6 on May 21. If the song titles are anything to go on, the project probably won't be the most uplifting listen of all time. You can see the tracklist below.
