Bow Wow Goes OFF On Le’Veon Bell Over Ohio Loyalty

For context, Bell’s also an Ohio native and thinks Bow Wow hasn’t done enough for the state despite being from there. Bow, also known as Shad Moss, didn’t waste responding to Le’Veon. In a video TSR shared from LiveBitez, he made it clear that he believes he’s “the biggest to ever come out of Columbus.” Bow told Le’Veon that instead of arguing, they should team up to do something good for Ohio. However, he still admitted that he believes Columbus will always be his city.

“We not doing this. Columbus will forever be my city and my town n***a. Until I see n****s do 10 million or 14 million out the city, then you bigger than me. But if you don’t do that, then shut up, don’t talk to me bro,” Bow said.

What Le’Veon Bell Said About Shad & Where They Stand Now

Bell shared his true feelings about Bow Wow in videos he posted on X (formerly Twitter). The clips quickly caught the attention of Shad Moss and fans, with many going off on Bell for his claims. Le’Veon even said he didn’t think the actor was really from Ohio because he reps Atlanta more than Ohio. He even straight-up called out Bow for acting like he’s bigger than him.

In more videos, Le’Veon went on to accuse the rapper of never working with any Ohio artists. He even said Bow couldn’t compare to Simone Biles, who’s also from Ohio. Then, he pointed out how Bow has done more in Atlanta like opening a restaurant there, but hasn’t done anything for his hometown.
