Reported days ago rapper/actor Bow Wow was hospitalized and forced to cancel shows. With lack of factual information rumors popped up. It was said that he suffered from exhaustion and stress. Then it was reported that before he was rushed to the hospital he threw a temper tantrum over Chris Brown's attention on their Up, Close and Personal tour and destroyed his own dressing room in a rage.
....Right. The real? An unbiased attendee of Bow's first and only concert appearance to date chimes in:
I went to the Cincinnati concert, the first stop on the tour, sat 3rd row from the stage and heard exactly what happened. Bow came out, did a few songs, and then stopped to announce why he had his right hand bandaged up (4 fingers with his thumb out)--it's true that he was "wylin out" backstage, but only because upon their arrival, he learned that part of his set was missing--not only that, most of his effects weren't going to be used in the show. He said he punched a mirror, and truly lost his temper. The screens (the ones placed on the side of the stage) during his set weren't working, he wasn't allowed any pyro, and his original entrance of him flying in (not sure if he was being serious--or joking) was scrapped. He said he was just frustrated 'cause he wanted to put on a good show, especially for his fans in Ohio, (because) that's where he's originally from. He announced that he would have to get stitches but didn't want to miss the show.
Then he went on to say how he's doing it for his fans, that he'd come out in a wheelchair if he has to and still tear the house down--even though his show wasn't going to go how it was originally planned.
He did a good job, too! We all rocked to his old hits, the ones that made him famous and etc.
So, after the concert, early in the morning, my friend texted me sayin' that Bow was still in Cincinnati at the hospital and that her cousin was his nurse. She said they came in originally for his hand and then he started throwing up and they decided to keep him--his exact diagnosis? that i don't know, but it wasn't over no Chris Brown jealousy crap!
His exact diagnosis as he later confirmed on Detroit radio and Bet's 106 and Park was an infection on his appendix. Before reaching his next tour site he fainted and was rushed to the hospital. It was more wrong with him then blood loss from his hand. His low blood cells were high. The blood loss from cutting himself, then the rush of the stage caused him to pass out, and as stated he began throwing up in the hospital, so his blood was tested. Luckily his appendicitis was discovered. Usually if let untreated, the infection will cause the appendix to burst 1-3 days after the symptoms start. Once it does burst it leads to pain in the stomach, high fever and in some severe cases organ failure and potentially death.
Bow Wow is planning to wait until after touring to have it removed. Until then it can be treated with IV fluids and/or antibiotics. He says of the rumors he heard the "exhaustion" part bothered him the most, because he is never too tired for the fans although he admits he was stressed from the album release and UCP tour with Chris Brown. Yes he did spazz out behind the scenes, but after selling about 10 million records missing set pieces will bother you!
Hopefully Bow recovers well and puts his health first over the album, the tour, and even the fans. No one is above a health scare. Not even someone considered as cocky or rich as Bow Wow. He's just a 20 year old human being. Sometimes people lose sight of that. So, yes. Shad "Bow Wow" Moss got stitches in his hand, and he will have an appendectomy.
