Bow Wow Threatened To Jump Off A Balcony And Fans Are Worried Sick
"I'm sorry but I truly don't want to be here no more!"
To fans' discontent, Bow Wow has been toying with the word “suicide” a concerning number of times in 2018.
First, the former 106 & Park host rose eyebrows when he tweeted the word spelled backwards, only to reveal later on that it would be the title of his new album. Not long after, he took to a seat on The Breakfast Club to explain that he actually had sunken into a suicidal state, essentially, due to boredom.
The social media backlash he received from his logic was ruthless, but he returned to the sensitive subject matter in his 280-character diary in the early hours of Tuesday (April 24) to reveal that he was contemplating a fatal action that would end it all.

He then explained that his disturbing tweets were only ‘a figure of speech’ after discovering some undisclosed bad news
No im not gone do nothing. It was just a figure of speech. I woke up to bad news. https://t.co/IfegLbtVrf

Several fans reached out anyway, sending support, suicide hotlines, prayers and reminders of life’s virtues…
I think going to see a psychiatrist is a better route than posting your behavorial health issues on Twitter. Please please seek help.

Has anyone checked on this man? This isn’t funny, cute, or a joking situation.

Bow Wow tweeted about jumping off a balcony this morning. In the comments, people laughed at him, said he was desperate for attention, claimed he was tying to promote his album. It’s honestly sad that this man is clearly in need of help and the community still mocks him.

Y’all....Bow Wow needs some serious help. Mental illness isn’t a joke! He has been talking about suicide for awhile now. The bullying has gotten to him deeply.

…However, others believe it’s not a cry for help, but a cry for attention.
Y’all fucked up and gave Bow Wow attention the first time he said “he don’t wanna be here” now he’s going to threaten suicide every week.

You're clearly going down the "Tyrese Gibson route" for media attention. I'm embarrassed for you.

“She sells seashells by the seashore”. That’s a figure of speech. I’m sorry you got bad news but jumping off a balcony is not a figure of speech. It’s either a cry for help or a cry for attention but nothing to be taken lightly.
