Sheffield said.
Bow Wow wrote:
"First off want to say thank you to the city of
Detroit and council member ms Sheffield for this wonderful
acknowledgement with the spirit award. I never been the type to brag
about what i do for children or the community because I'm not looking
for recognition. Its amazing how the media writes all these stories but
yet fail to realize just how much good i do. I FAILED to realize that my
antics must stop. The girls me wilin etc... sometimes I forget there
are still people who look up to me or i inspire. I lost track of that.
When i got this award it reminded me to Get it together stay positive
and lead by example. Thank you I'm truly honored by this. Want to make
Shai and my mom proud. PERIOD! #SOSOSUMMER17"
