On Thursday, December 19, rapper and actor Bow Wow took to social media with some candid advice for Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter. The 37-year-old artist, known for keeping his opinions private, felt compelled to speak out after noticing what he described as "concerning" dynamics involving Hunter’s fiancée, Leanna Lenee.

A Word of Caution from Experience

“I’ve been watching from afar,” Bow Wow began his message. “I was once young, about to make a lot of money, and I know how this goes. So I need you to hear me out.” He assured Hunter that his comments weren’t coming from a place of hate but from genuine concern. “I want you to look at this like people care about you,” he explained.

Bow Wow reminded Hunter of the massive opportunity ahead of him—a chance to play in the NFL and secure life-changing income. But he questioned whether proposing to Lenee was the right move at this stage. “All we’re doing is waking you up, young brother. If we didn’t care, we’d let you crash out. But from one player to the next, open your eyes.”

Addressing Rumors and Red Flags

Bow Wow pointed to a viral screenshot purportedly showing Lenee leaving a flirtatious comment on NBA star Anthony Edwards’ Instagram post. Although the screenshot was later debunked as fake, the incident didn’t stop Bow Wow from raising concerns. “There’s no reason your fiancée should be commenting on another man’s page with heart eyes and money tongue emojis,” he said. “Fiancées don’t move like that.”

He also referenced a recent TikTok where Lenee mentioned that Hunter wasn’t initially her “type.” Although she later clarified that her comment referred to his personality rather than looks, Bow Wow remained skeptical. “This woman said you weren’t even her type. So what’s keeping you here? You’re young, man. There’s so much ahead of you.”

A Reality Check

Bow Wow urged Hunter to think about the pressures that come with fame and success, particularly when it comes to relationships. “Do you know how many women are about to be thrown your way? You’re the Heisman Trophy winner. Can’t no one give you better advice than me—I’ve lived this life,” he said.

In his blunt advice, Bow Wow encouraged Hunter to reevaluate his priorities. “Snatch that ring back and focus on what’s important,” he urged. “It’s hard to build your legacy when you’re in the headlines more for your girl than your accomplishments. Wake up, young brother.”

Hunter’s Generosity Shines Through

Despite the drama, Hunter continues to make waves for all the right reasons. Recently, the young athlete made headlines for donating his NIL endorsement earnings to support his Buffaloes teammates. His charitable gesture earned praise from Deion Sanders Jr. on the Zero 2 Sixty podcast, solidifying his reputation as a leader on and off the field.
