Rapper-turned-actor Bow Wow a.k.a. Shad Moss came up in the game as an emcee when he was only a small child. As his career started to grow, so did his business ventures. He slowly began to put the microphone down and started to pick up a script. Bow Wow recently went in on a lengthy Instagram post explaining his absence from the rap game for so long.
He posted up a throwback photo of him on the ‘Gram with a caption that reads:
“People ask me “where’s the music” i just see it differently..I been rapping since five ill be 28 in less than 2 months. Thats 13 yrs in ONE career. Thats someones nfl or basketball career. The things these artist doing now i BEEN did it. We did the tours we sold millions. I got BORED. Wanted a challenge. So i started acting. Reading scripts practicing. Found a NEW love a new wave of energy. I been acting since 12. I would see my fans react to my films and appreciate the work just as much as my music. I remember after lottery ticket i told cube “I’m retiring from rap” he told me never say what you [gonna] do. That way if you want to rap you not biting your own words when you come back to the mic.”
