You may not be aware of this, but Bow Wow retired from rap in 2016.

He just un-retired because Diddy said nice things about him

Here's what Bow --who has a storied history of lying -- said Puff told him during a recent trip they took to L.A.

"Look at me, bro. You’re a fucking legend, bro," Bow says PD told him. "Cut the bullshit out… Dog, I don’t wanna see shit else [besides the music]."

If you're keeping score, over the last day Young Thug has quit music because of his deaf brother and Bow Wow is back rapping because of a man now called Love.

Here's Bow's new track "Yeaahh"
