So the 16-year-old rapper was set to perform a concert Wednesday for Computers for Youth, a New York-based nonprofit organization. The free concert at Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan was to include an announcement of a financial donation by Bow Wow, organizers said.
"Anyone
who knows me knows how much time I spend on computers," Bow Wow said in
a statement Monday. "I'm a computer addict. Every young person deserves
to have a computer in his or her home. It's also cool that CFY will
also
make sure that they learn how to use them."
Computers
for Youth provides computers, training, Internet access, e-mail accounts,
ongoing technical
support and tailored Web content to students and teachers
in selected public middle schools
in New York City.
Bow Wow's new album, "Unleashed," will be released next month.
