Bow Wow Offers Words of Wisdom for Travis Hunter in Response to Parody Account Post
It's called Centel'd and it's the latest dupe among NBA fans on X thanks to the parody account NBACentel. On Tuesday, the account uploaded a fake screenshot with what appeared to be Leanna Lenee, the fiancé of Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter, leaving suggestive comments under one of NBA guard Anthony Edwards' Instagram post.
Apparently Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss, was not aware of the joke and took to social media to try and instill some wisdom in the potential NFL draft pick.

Shannon Sharpe Sends Message to Hunter's Fiancé
Much has been made of Travis Hunter and his fiancé's relationship. Fans online have speculated about the nature of Leanna Lenee's intentions, noting that she often seems disinterested and unbothered at many of Hunter's public appearances. NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe spoke about Lenee during Tuesday's installment of his "Nightcap" podcast after she posted an emotional 7-minute TikTok video sharing her perspective on the controversy.
"Young lady, Adidas, when these people come around, there are going to be times when he's going to have to sign footballs," Sharpe began. "He's going to have to sign helmets, he's going to have to sign jerseys, he's going to have to take pictures...
The Hall-of-Famer continued: "That's a part of it. He understands that. You're about to come into a situation, you're going to have more money at your disposal than you even dreamed of. And why is that? That's a part of it," Sharpe said.
Sharpe, who added Tuesday, "You should graciously and willingly stay there," also noted that intimate details, like Lenee revealing that Hunter was initially "not her type," shouldn't be shared with the public.
"You see, now you threw that man under the bus, we didn't need to know that," Sharpe said. "Why share that? It paints a picture nobody needed to see."
Despite the criticism, recently crowned Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter recently defended his bride-to-be and hailed her as a rock for him throughout his career.
