• Bow Wow desires a unity in hip-hop.
• He wrote: “Hip hop needs a board!.
• He also suggested the potential body could even help with retirement plans.

The 35-year-old rapper has urged his bandmates to form a “committee” that would resemble the National Basketball Association (NBA) and its players union, the Players Association.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote: “Hip hop needs a board! No different than the NBA w/ the players association. A committee. That can set rules and keep things in control and protect this thing we call hip hop!”

He also suggested the potential body could even help with retirement plans for older stars to help them transition to the next stage of their lives.

He added: “And have a retirement plan for the og rappers. I hate seeing my heros liquor’d out no money just washed. (sic)”

The idea received some support from long-running hip hop festival Rock The Bells.

The organisers responded on Twitter: “Our hip-hop heroes deserve better; that’s why we started Rock The Bells.

“Almost 5 years later and we’re still riding for our heroes by gettin’ them paid for experiences like Rock The Bells Cruise and Rock The Bells Festival, licensed merch deals brand partnerships while keepin’ their legacies on blast through dope content and opportunities.

“Their legacy is our legacy; without them there is no us. There is no Hip-Hop.”
