Soulja Boy & Bow Wow Return to SeaWorld & Perform the Hits
Soulja Boy and Bow Wow made their triumphant return to SeaWorld. A year after a viral performance at the same sea-centric facility, the two rappers went back down to Southern California for a July 12 show at SeaWorld San Diego's 2025 Summer Spectacular Concert Series, where they performed songs like 'Donk,' 'Pretty Boy Swag,' 'Crank That (Soulja Boy),' and 'Use Me' in front of an energetic crowd. Watch a clip from the performance below.

And they aren't the only acts that are touching that SeaWorld stage. Every Saturday from June 21 to August 23, numerous rap, hip-hop and R&B artists are set to perform. Names like Fat Joe, Waka Flocka Flame, Trina, and Ginuwine will all be making appearances. The concert series will also double as a tour stop for the I Love the 90s Tour and The Turn Up Tour where Color Me Badd, Rob Base, Treach of Naughty by Nature, Young MC, Petey Pablo, Paul Wall, J-Kwon, and Bubba Sparxxx will also be performing. The two teenage stars had a falling out after Soulja Boy made a video in 2008 saying that Nas killed hip-hop a couple years after the legendary Queens rapper released his eighth solo album Hip-Hop Is Dead. 'The n—a who killed hip-hop for real, is Nas. He came out publicly and said, 'hip-hop is dead,'' Soulja Boy explained in the video. 'And after that, everybody started saying hip-hop is dead. If Nas would've never said 'hip-hop is dead,' then motherf–kers would've never thought it had died.' Bow Wow publicly distanced himself from Soulja's comments and the two would continue to go back and forth until they squashed their beef around 2016 when they released the joint mixtape Ignorant Sh—t.

Twerking By The Tanks: Bow Wow & Soulja Boy Set To Perform At Sea World
Source: Rick Diamond / Getty Bow Wow and Soulja Boy have officially announced that they will be performing at Sea World once again, bringing their high-energy show back to the unexpected venue. This marks their second appearance at the popular aquatic park, after a surprising but wildly entertaining set last year that had the crowd turnt. Videos from the previous event showed fans dancing, twerking, and having an all-out good time, an unusual sight for a place better known for dolphins and orcas. While some fans are hyped for the return of this nostalgic duo, others can't help but express a bit of sadness. Once considered trailblazers of the early 2000s Hip-Hop scene, Bow Wow and Soulja Boy performing at Sea World feels, to some, like a far cry from their peak fame. 'It's like seeing your childhood idols in a fish tank,' one fan commented online. Still, Bow Wow has been keeping himself relevant. He recently dropped a new single with Chris Brown titled 'Use Me', signaling he's not just leaning on past hits. Bow Weezy also took time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his classic track 'Let Me Hold You' with a performance at Hip-Hop Wired, giving longtime fans a healthy dose of nostalgia and reminding the industry he's still got it. Soulja Boy, on the other hand, has been notably quiet, steering clear of his usual online beefs and controversies. That alone is seen by many as personal growth and a win in its own right. Whether you're excited or confused, one thing's for sure, Bow Wow and Soulja Boy performing at Sea World is a spectacle no one saw coming, again.

Bow Wow Speaks On Ciara's Absence From 'Like You' BET Awards Performance
Bow Wow performed a medley of nostalgic hits during the 106 & Park reunion at the 2025 BET Awards, which included his 2005 smash 'Like You' featuring Ciara. Following the performance, fans took to social media to share their disappointment over Ciara's absence despite being present in the room. Bow, né Shad Moss, addressed fans' concerns with his view on why he believes his former girlfriend was left out of his set. TMZ ran into the 'Ghetto Girls' rapper after the show, and he explained why he didn't take the stage with Ci Ci, chalking it up to his unawareness that she was there. 'I didn't know she was in the building,' he admitted after saying that it's the network's job to source the talent. 'I been in my trailer all day, I been in rehearsals, hosting red carpets, but I will say that it would've been a wonderful moment.' He added, 'I know she was in attendance … well, I didn't know that until I got off stage and went back to my trailer and checked Twitter (now X).' The 2025 BET Awards pulled out all the nostalgic stops to celebrate its 25th anniversary on Monday (June 9), delivering a history-making moment with a long-anticipated 106 & Park reunion. Complete with a replica of the original set staged inside Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, the tribute brought back fan-favorite hosts Free, Julissa Bermudez, Keshia Chanté, Big Tigger, and Terrence J to honor the iconic music countdown show that shaped an era of Black culture. Ashanti took the stage with her timeless hit 'Unfoolish,' followed by Jim Jones turning the entire theater into a sea of invisible jump shots with his anthem 'Ballin.' Amerie, Mya, and Keyshia Cole reminded the world why women in 2000s R&B still reign supreme, as T.I. returned with royal flair, reminding everyone why he still is the 'King of the South.' And then there was B2K, who had grown women screaming like it was 2002 all over again with 'Bump, Bump, Bump.' But the moment that sealed it all came when Bow Wow, affectionately known as 'Mr. 106 & Park,' closed the tribute with 'Like You' and 'Fresh Azimiz,' cementing his legacy as one of the show's most memorable artists and former hosts.
