Bow Wow 'offers Justin Bieber advice'

Bow Wow has revealed that he considers Justin Bieber to be like family to him.

In an appearance on Lopez Live, the rapper admitted that he feels protective of Bieber as he understands the pressures of being a young adult in the music industry.

"That's my homey, that's like my little brother," he said.

"I told him basically just to have fun, just continue doing what you're doing, keep your image clean and stay focused - and get ready for that transition phase when you start getting older and your voice changes."

Bow Wow recently claimed that it is his responsibility to represent Ohio since LeBron James left the state.
