According to Bow Wow, his tweets are often taken too seriously in most occassions.
"My mind state was regular. It's like that text message that you get where you don't know if a friend is yelling at you or not yelling at you. That's what that was. I just woke up and everybody kept calling my phone. It was a comedic way of saying, I guess people took it the wrong way [I] was like "When I die," but when I typed it people thought I was really depressed, like I was gon' kill myself. I was like 'Nah, nah, nah!' I can't even jump on Twitter and be like 'I'ma die.' Like if I'm watching Friday, and I could tweet 'I'm dying [laughing] right now" and it'd be like "Bow Wow's dying, Bow Wow's dead!" It's just like the world of Twitter, ain't nobody gotta worry about me, I'm good. My head is on straight." (Hip Hop Wired)
Last summer, the rap star's ex-girlfriend Joie Chavis talked about his controversial suicide-like tweet.
"He would always talk to me. We became friends before anything. So he would always talk to me and I was straight to the point with him. I would always tell him 'you have fans, you have people who admire and look up to you. You have a beautiful blessing on the way that you have to live for. You have so much to live for so don't think like that.' I was definitely always there for him to cope with whatever he was going through. And just letting him know, be that father that you didn't have to your daughter." (Global Grind)
Bow Wow's publicized tweet made headlines after he posted it in November 2010.
