Bow Wow was caught by HipHopDX’s Jeremy Hecht at BET Awards 2023 red carpet where he talked about Eminem inspiring him, his friendship with Chris Brown, dealing with fame and more.
Interviewer: You’ve got some underrated bars. Even in your mixtape era, is there a verse that stands out in your mind where you are like ‘nah, this the hardest s–t I’ve written.’?
Bow Wow: The new s–t that’s coming. When I drop it, it’s gonna be a lot of blogging, a lot of talking about the lyrics. It’s very Eminem-ish.
Interviewer: Do you have a favorite Eminem verse growing up?
Bow Wow: Eminem is hard! I don’t even have a favorite in particular. Every verse is hard for me. He’s so diverse. So talented. I can’t lie, I’m influenced by him in a lot of ways when it comes to rapping, taking me time like how I dissect my bars, wordplay, changing the pitches in my voices. That’s why I can’t wait to drop this record.
