When images of the performance at the Clé nightclub flooded social media, Twitter users had a lot to say, prompting Bow Wow to respond before deleting all of his tweets.

That’s not the case: a popular rapper when he used to be ‘Lil Bow Wow’, the artist who now calls himself Shad Moss is hardly one of the crowd favorites.
In October, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order allowing venues to host indoor events of up to 75% capacity, with tables for no more than 10 people.
Houston Chief Medical Officer David Persse outlined safety protocols when organizing special events, which included two meters of physical distance, wearing masks, temperature controls and proper wristbands once customers have been marked as symptom-free.
The owners of the Spire nightclub, which also owns Saturday’s venue Cle, were set on fire for a Lil Baby concert in late November after the shoulder-to-shoulder video appeared without masks on.
Open to business: In an October executive order, Texas Gov. Abbott said covered events were allowed to hold up to 75% capacity, although Cle’s owners received a concert for Lil Baby at his sister club in late November.

“We were below our legal occupation. Every night we took care of keeping people socially distant. Once Lil Baby (headliner on Wednesday night) started acting, people got out of their seats and left. rush to the front area, so we had to cut the concert.
The rapper, who rose to fame as “Lil Bow Wow” in the early 2000s at the tender age of 13, has lost a lot of credibility as an artist, and many of the tweets acknowledge that he is virtually irrelevant in the musical space.
After waking up from the headlines about his performance, the rapper took to Twitter to try to defend himself, though he quickly wiped them out on Saturday.
At 2:30 PM he wrote, ‘I just woke up … aww god. Here we go, ”with the emoji crying with laughter.
Weekend: The Morrow event will also take place at Fabulous and Trey Songz
He went on to say, “Man, I’ve been organizing parties all year. I wore the mask to the club. I can’t stay with that.
The Atlanta resident tried to add that he only removed the mask when it was put into the microphone, while adding “Keep disinfectant at all times.”
One user tried to defend the rapper and said, “We’re tired of this covid bulls ***, people need and want to get out of the house,” to which Bow Wow responded that he “agreed.”
He tried to absolve himself of any wrongdoing as he was quick to point out that “Texas is open,” as well as Atlanta. “I can’t help but live in a city where we’ve been open since last spring.”
Mask off: ‘I was wearing my mask at the club. I can’t live with that, ”he tweeted as he added that Texas was open to business
