Bow Wow Hangs Up the Mic

After dismal first-week sales of his latest album New Jack City II (31,000 copies), Bow Wow is calling it quits. In a video posted on RealTalkNY, he announced his retirement from rap.

“This my last album because for me, there’s no more that needs to be done on the music side,” said the 22-year-old rapper, who’s released seven albums throughout his career. “There’s nothing more that I want to accomplish that I haven’t seen yet.”

The artist, born Shad Moss, will venture into other areas. “It’s time for me to move on and become Bow Wow the actor, Bow Wow the businessman.”
