We HAVE To Say Something About Bow Wow Being A Father

First of all, we have to congratulate Bow Wow after his recent revelation that he is a father! After much speculation, the rapper/actor took to his website Bow Wow Today to pen a letter to his fans revealing his secret: "I waited so long to tell y'all the truth because I was nervous on how y'all would look at me." Even though Bow Wow isn't "Lil" anymore (he's 24), many of his fans still think of him as just a kid, so kudos to him for being open and honest.

Second, we have to say that Bow Wow's secret-keeping skills are pretty impressive. We're definitely not the only ones who didn't see this announcement coming (as the entire internet is totally freaking out about it), and that speaks highly to Bow Wow's sense of privacy and respect for his family. Like, Bow Wow is probably the friend you want to tell about that lipstick you stole from the drug store when you were little or that hotel you snuck into when you were a teenager or that car full of all of your ex-boyfriend's tax records that you started on fire and drove into the ocean. Wait. Never mind.

Anyway, congrats to Bow Wow and his new(ish) family! Enjoy all the chocolate cigars you can handle, and best of luck throughout the joys of parenthood.
