He's not wrong.
Lil' Bow Wow was apart of the DPGC (Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta Clique). Off the top this encompassed Tha Dogg Pound (Daz & Kurupt), Snoop, LBC Crew, Tha Eastsidaz, Nate Dogg, Warren G, Lil' Malik & Lil' 1/2 Dead.

"There's a distinction. Dogg Pound can mean all of our homies. But when we on record, we representing all of our homies. This is the Dogg Pound Gangstaz. We the group, me and Daz."
- Kurupt in 1995 on The Show documentary
Yeah originally Dogg Pound was the name of the entire clique AND the name of the group. It was only later that Tha Dogg Pound became strictly Daz & Kurupt.
I have an old Word Up magazine with an article on them when Dogg Food was dropping and they mentioned Dogg Pound had upcoming artists like Tray Dee, Enemy & Grench (does anybody know what happened to those two or what their names changed to?).
So actually Bow Wow was a part of the Dogg Pound and may have been originally planned to be in the actual group. And it's Death Row promo posters that have Bow Wow's name included as part of the Death Row Roster around 1995. I was looking at old DR interviews and saw the poster in the background.
