Bow Wow gave his camp a scare Thursday night when the 20-year-old rapper had to be rushed to a Cincinnati hospital after his concert performance at the U.S. Bank Arena.

Bow is said to be doing well but is still in the hospital undergoing tests. His record company, Sony Music, said in a statement on Friday (December 7) that the young superstar appears to be suffering from "stress and exhaustion."

Not only has Bow been one of the top-line acts on his current tour with Chris Brown, Sean Kingston, Soulja Boy, Lil Mama and others, but he's also been all over the world during the past few months promoting Face Off, his joint LP with Omarion, which drops Tuesday.

The tour hits Chicago on Friday night, but Bow will not be cleared to take the stage, according to Sony.

"He loves them and will be sure to come back to Chicago soon!" his company said of what Bow wants to express to fans.

Bow is expected to return to the tour very shortly, and as an added bonus, Omarion will be joining the tour on some select dates, which have yet to be announced. If you listen to the duo's new LP, you can expect Bow and O to hit the road with a full show of their own in 2008. On the title track, Bow proclaims, "Rest in peace to the Scream Tour. It's the Face Off tour next summer."
