Bow Wow is Retiring from Rapping & Twitterverse Thinks It’s Hilarious

You know what they call people who bash you for achieving your dreams? Haters. Rapper Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss, found that out the hard way when he announced he would be retiring at the age of 29.

However, in this instance, the haters are making some pretty darn hilarious points.

Moss announced his retirement on Instagram in a series of posts:

My last album will be Executive Produced by my uncle Snoop and myself. Since he brought me in the game, its only right i involve him and end it with him. ITS OFFICIAL!!!!

Moss was introduced to the rap world with the help of Snoop Dogg. Though he refers to Snoop as his uncle in his Instagram post, the two are not actually related.

For those who were around back in the early 2000s, the best memories of Moss was when he still had the “Lil” tacked on to the front of his name.

 

Even though Moss’ first album launched in 2000 when he was just 13 years old, the now 29-year-old hasn’t been that much in the spotlight. In fact, Twitter users found the whole concept of his retirement to be pretty darn funny.
