First introduced to the world as Lil Bow Wow many, many moons ago, the 106 & Park host dropped the ‘Lil’ and was going simply by Bow Wow for the last few years, but this past weekend, he’s announced yet another name change.

“I’m going by my real name “Shad Moss,” Bow announced on Instagram, adding that the change would become official following the BET Awards this coming Sunday. “We made a lot of history as Bow Wow. Now it’s time for the next chapter and challenge. Bow Wow does not fit who I am today. Ima father, business man, TV Host, Actor, and rapper! Time for Mr. Moss to takeover!”

What do you think of the change? Check out his commentary on it below and let us know your thoughts!
