Lil' Bow Wow as a USC Trojan

Lil' Bow Wow as a USC Trojan

Today, November 19, marks the day 4 years ago that Romeo Miller aka Lil’ Bow Wow, signed his letter of intent to play college basketball at the University of Southern California. The move to give Miller the scholarship (He only averaged 8.6 ppg his Senior year), is largely attributed to the willingness of USC to secure Bow Wow’s friend and current NBA player, Demar DeRozan, as well as Miller’s connections thanks to his father and former NBA player, Percy Miller or Master P (I’d love to see the one-on-one games in that family. The 5’11 “Like Mike” star’s 2 years as a Trojan were disapointing though, as he only played 19 minutes in 9 games dropping 5 pts. Today, Daily $wagg also wishes a Happy 22nd Birthday to Tyga. The young Young Money artist drops his 2nd album, Careless Word: Rise of the Last King in 1 day over a month from now. Today also marks the day 9 years ago that Ja Rule dropped his 4th album, The Last Temptation, as well as the day 1 year ago Nicki Minaj dropped her debut, Pink Friday.
