July 25, 2003 - Bow Wow will performed a free concert at New York's Bryant Park on Wednesday. The performance raised awareness and support for Computers For Youth (CFY), a non-profit organization which provides home computers to inner-city children. Bow Wow was introduced by New York City School's Chancellor Joel Klein. In a statement, the 16-year-old talked about why he got involved: " I don't take for granted all the blessings that I have, and as soon as I heard about Computers For Youth I really wanted to be involved. Anyone who knows me knows how much time I spend on computers. I'm an addict. Every young person deserves to have a computer in his or her home. It's cool that CFY will also make sure that they learn how to use them. I can't wait to be on that stage performing and at the same time supporting Computers For Youth."

July 20, 2003 - Lil' Bow Wow was featured in a clip on TRL's Backstage Pass on Friday. Here's what Bow Wow had to say: "Yo, what up? It's your man, Bow Wow, unleashed right here, baby. I love the ladies, so it's kind of like, you know, it doesn't bother me at all. I do whatever it takes. I have to give my fans a hug, but sometimes they sneak a kiss in there. Kind of crazy, so I'm picky. Picky dude. Like I had maybe a couple of people who are sexy and attractive and cute. Mya, Beyonce. Oh, here you go [photo of Solange Knowles shown]. She was real cool. A real cool friend of mine. I have known her so long now. She real cool. I got a Ferrari, Maserati and I have a Mercedes 500. Sl on 20'S. I got a Range Rover on 22's. I really want to say that, you know what I mean, there's really no competition on me. Not to be nothing cocky or anything like that, but there's not another rapper my age who present right now at the time. If I get it right, which is me and Omarion and B2k, R&B is like rap. There's enough room for everybody to eat. I don't consider it competition. All the time when I go out, people come up to me all over my food, breathing all over my food almost every day when I'm trying to eat. That really irritates me, like the fact you see with me people, you see with my family. I'm -- please at least wait, until I'm done, you know? Sign this up like this. Much love -- that's what it is right there, baby."
