Lil Bow Wow - Where Are They Now?

Before he was a reality TV star or actor, Shad Moss was "Lil Bow Wow", a six-year-old child prodigy discovered by Snoop Dogg and mentored by Jermaine Dupri who took the early 2000s hip-hop world by storm.In this episode, we trace Bow Wow's incredible rise of one of the youngest platinum-selling artists in rap history. From his discovery amongst the audience at a Dr Dre. Chronic tour show, to his cameo as a talented youngster on Arsenio Hall, his time at Death Row Records surrounded by rival labels and gang violence that saw the deaths of 2pac and Biggie to signing to So So Def records under Jermaine Dupri where his debut album Beware of Dog, spawned the iconic chart-topping hits like What's My Name and Bounce With Me. We also delve into why Bow dropped the "Lil" from his name, the controversies, his overdose, fatherhood and pivotal life moments that shaped him as a person as well as the question on everyone's lips Where is he now?📧 Have a question for our 100th episode Q&A?
