Bow Wow's Girlfriend Was the Cause Of Onset Violent Outburst

Bow Wow recently flew into a destructive rage while shooting his TV show because his girlfriend called to tell him about a dispute she had with the production crew.

Production sources told TMZ.com the rapper's GF was venting about a disagreement she had with a crew member on the set of "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta," and she was told Bow Wow was being set up by crew members to start fights with people on set.

Bow Wow had been pretty cool last Thursday and then he went absolutely ballistic after the phone call, shattering equipment costing nearly $300k, and attacked anyone who tried to stop him.

Sources say he's been pulled from shooting until further notice and that the production company wants to take money out of Bow Wow's check to cover the damage, but he's threatening to walk if they force him to pay.
