While Chris is now sitting in jail awaiting his June 16 court date, Bow Wows pushing the Free Breezy movement, assuring that Brown will bounce back from this. Heres the lowdown..
Bow Wow wasnt about to let this situation slide without speaking his piece, considering how close he is to Brown. While headed to catch a movie on May 16, he hopped on his Instagram Story to rally for Breezy. Free Breezy, free Breezy, free Breezy, yall know we gonna yell it until it actually happens, he said.
