Bow Wow silences Keyshia Cole dating rumors

Rapper-turned-actor Bow Wow has urged Twitter users to stop spreading false rumors about his love life after he was romantically linked to singer Keyshia Cole.

The CSI: Cyber star recently hit headlines amid claims suggesting he had moved on from his broken engagement to reality TV regular Erica Mena by dating Keyshia, but he insists there is no truth to the speculation.

Bow Wow, also known by his real name Shad Moss, has been shooting down the rumors since Monday (22Feb16), when he was quizzed about his links to Keyshia online.

"Don't believe what u read or hear," he responded to one fan.

The 28-year-old also went on to admit he "can't cope" with reading "more false news" about his personal life, and on Tuesday (23Feb16), he pleaded with followers to drop the gossip.

"Stop spreading these rumors...," he tweeted on Tuesday. "Like damn. Yall (sic) just running w (with) **** (s**t) now."

R&B star Keyshia, who recently shut down all of her social media accounts, has yet to comment on the reports, but she surprised fans in November (15) by claiming she was engaged to wed a mystery man.

The You've Changed singer revealed her new relationship status after one follower asked if she was married again, to which she simply responded, "No. Engaged".

Keyshia did not elaborate on the identity of her husband-to-be, but she did make it clear it wasn't Bow Wow's former Cash Money Records boss, Bryan 'Birdman' Williams, who she briefly dated after separating from her estranged husband, former basketball player Daniel Gibson, in 2014.

Keyshia and Daniel, who were married for less than three years, attempted a reunion in early 2015, but subsequently split again. They are parents to a young son, named Daniel, Jr.
