Bow Wow’s been a household name for over two decades now, and many may know that it all started with Jermaine Dupri and So So Def.

That said, the Ohio rapper says that while the music mogul may have given him his start, he did not impart any business knowledge on him as it was something he had to figure out on his own.

The 35-year-old took to Twitter for a Q&A  session with fans on Friday (March 25) and said as much about his come up.

“You wouldn’t be where you are if it wasn’t for those [fire] JD beats, snoop might have discovered you...but JD made you!!!” a person wrote, to which Bow Wow responded: “Made who? Hahahaha he made kriss kross. He aint make me. I aint go thru artist development i aint have to be taught how to rap. This aint the tv show the rap game. I came ready. No disrespect but he aint teach me nothing bout this business bro. And thats real. He dont give advice.”

When asked which of his songs he was most proud of, Bow Wow named 2006’s “I’m a Flirt.” And that’s because it didn’t involve his former label boss.

“[...] It went number one w out JD. And I wrote it w out JD,” he said. “My whole career I had to over prove to folks I’m not to be played w. It was like Kobe winning w out Shaq. Even JD told me, ‘If u think u can do it w out me, THEN DO IT.’ Welp I did.”

Additionally, Bow Wow told his fans that he and JD have “no work chemistry” and he hasn’t collaborated with him in years.

“Jermaine Dupri is the king of doing that,” tweeted Bow Wow, claiming that Dupri does not follow through with commitments. “Y’all know me and JD be bad terms and good terms. It is what it is.”

Finally, when asked if he could do it all over again, Bow Wow claimed that he wishes he would have “stayed w Snoop” and “never signed w nobody else.” The rapper was discovered by the Long Beach rapper in 1993 prior to signing with So So Def Recordings.
