In her first interview since Bow Wow revealed he was the father, Joie talks motherhood, love and Bow Wow.

EXCLUSIVE: Bow Wow: “Now That I Have My Daughter, I Have Something To Live For”

We are appreciative of Bow Wow and Joie’s honesty and we wish them both the very best of luck with their beautiful daughter.

On How She Met Bow Wow: It’s pretty funny because he contacted me because he saw my tattoo and he wanted to use me in one of his videos. He initially wanted to use me for a shoot with him because he liked my tattoo. But ironically we never moved forward with the shoot, so we just remained friends and the rest is history.

On Helping Him When He Was Stressed, Depressed, or Suicidal: He would always talk to me. We became friends before anything. So he would always talk to me and I was straight to the point with him. I would always tell him ‘you have fans, you have people who admire and look up to you. You have a beautiful blessing on the way that you have to live for. You have so much to live for so don’t think like that.’

I was definitely always there for him to cope with whatever he was going through. And just letting him know, be that father that you didn’t have to your daughter.

On Bow Wow Taking Responsibility: He’s getting all these props as dad of the year, I just hope he does the work, in fact, I pray he becomes an example to all young fathers.  I was happy to hear his statements, I just pray he lives up to it.

On Bow Wow’s First Time Seeing His Daughter: He didn’t say much, he just kept looking at her like wow. He just kept saying, ‘Wow! She’s so beautiful I can’t believe I’m a father.’ It was touching for him and he was kind of tearing up. This is new for him like it is for me.

On Bow Wow Wanting To Be A Good Father: I’m happy that he’s happy and he wants to be a part of her life. I am encouraged that he wants to do the things his father didn’t do with him.

On Her Tweets: I hate that everyone takes my tweets and thinks its about him. I just tweet stuff that I agree with or stuff that is true. Not that I’m generally talking about someone…that’s not the case at all.

On Getting Back Into Shape: Its very important to me, I bust my butt in the gym twice a day. I eat healthy, drink nothing but water all day because I don’t want to be a girl who had a baby and just let her body go.  I want my body to look how it did 12 months ago. I’ve always been athletic.

On Her Future: I went down a lot of career paths and I have my mind set on modeling. I wasn’t particularly going to go into male modeling, but it sort of just came. Right now I’m a full time mom.  I want go back to schoo, but I don’t want to leave my daughter right now and she’s just a newborn.

On Her Vision For Their Daughter: I want my daughter to be as regular as possible. I don’t want her to be sucked into this superficial life. I want her to have a real life. I want her to go to a regular school and do whatever she wants to do. I want her to forget any of that just because of who her father is. So everything I didn’t see when I was growing up, I want her to see it.
