Weighing on the gig, actor Zach Braff tweeted along with a clip of Bow Wow’s performance, “I thought about it and have decided I’m not willing to die for Bow Wow,” Zach Braff tweeted. “Insecure” star Natasha Rothwell agreed that Bow Wow’s performance wasn’t worthy to die for, writing, “For… Bow Wow…?”

#OscarsSoWhite creator April Reign chimed in, “Y’all clowned Bow Wow for having 15 women in that rowboat, acting like he was doing something special, so he threw a whole mask-optional concert in the middle of a [pandemic]. Mr. Wow’s ego sure is fragile. And potentially deadly.”

Bow Wow responded to the backlash in a series of now-deleted tweets on Saturday. The actor/reality TV star, whose real name is Shad Gregory Moss, wrote, “I just woke up… aww god. Here we go.” Defending himself for the gig, he claimed that he wore his mask until he was up onstage.
