About

#BowWowChallenge is a hashtag in which people post photographs of themselves in supposedly glamorous situations, though the pictures are either clearly photoshopped or revealed to be staged. The trend started after rapper Bow Wow posted a picture of a private jet that he was supposedly getting on to begin a tour, but he was photographed on a commercial airline flight moments later.
