Bow Wow got his paws wet yesterday at Planet Hollywood NY as he promoted the upcoming release of New Jack City II. As the miniature rapper left a caste of his hands to be held on display at the restaurant, he took a moment to discuss his good friend Chris Brown’s situation with OK magazine:

“I’ve been in a high profile relationship before and I know how it feels when everybody’s in your business. It just puts more pressure. And the only way they’re going to get over the situation is just to let them deal with it. And that’s what I really want to do. I’m praying for them both.”

Bow Wow, who says he hasn’t spoken to either Chris or Rihanna, says he couldn’t believe the horrifying picture that leaked on the internet last week, showing the singer with cuts and bloodied bruises on her face.

“Just shocking…I mean we heard what happened but we really didn’t get a visual for it. But I mean hey, man. The picture speaks for itself.”

Anywhoo…Bow Wow’s new video, “You Can Get It All” featuring Johnta Austin below:
