CSI: Cyber Slips As Bow Wow Trashes Empire


Two weeks ago Bow Wow's new TV series CSI: Cyber debuted to decent ratings on CBS [click here if you missed that].

This week Cyber slips a bit as Bow Wow reveals he wasn't interested in a part on the hit Fox drama Empire because he didn't want to play a stereotypical Black guy on TV…

According to TVLine CSI: Cyber ratings dropped 17 and three tenths percent this week pulling in a total of 8 million viewers.

Meanwhile Bow Wow tells Jermaine Dupri's Global 14
"When we were still filming Cyber episodes, Empire‘s first episode premiered. Fans were saying, “Man, you should have been on the show.” But we all don’t rap or play basketball. We can do so many things. There are young African-Americans who are intelligent enough to work at the FBI. That’s what’s so bright. Hopefully, I can help start a new wave of young black actors who don’t want to stereotype themselves."
