Rapper Bow Wow has denied reports he's dating hip-hop legend Reverend Run's daughter, insisting they're just close friends.

The Like You hitmaker, real name Shad Moss, was reportedly dating Angela Simmons after they were spotted together at a party in New York this summer.

But Bow Wow is adamant his relationship with Simmons is purely platonic - he's simply providing the aspiring fashion designer with some friendly support as she gets over her ex-boyfriend.

He says, "I'm single. I'm not with Angela Simmons. She's a sweet person, just a cool homie (friend) I hang out with. I know they (have) probably seen me at the fashion show with her, but I go to support her. She just broke up with her boyfriend and all that, but nah, it's nothing like that."

And Bow Wow has also dismissed any talk of a romance with hip-hop video vixen Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans.

Steffans was rumoured to be expecting the rapper's baby, but he has blasted the claims as "all the way false".
