From Lil Bow Wow to Bow Wow and now, the rapper is dropping everything to go by the name Shad Moss! Does this constant change of name signify fear of defeat in music?
In his most recent Instagram message rapper Bow Wow has announced that the upcoming BET Awards will be the last platform he’ll be called Bow Wow, instead he wants to be called his real name – Shad Moss!
He wrote: ANNOUNCEMENT: After BET Awards, I will no longer go by Bow Wow! Im going by my real name "Shad Moss" 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 take over!
Not bad, but why change Bow Wow when Jay Z, Diddy or Puff Daddy, Fat Joe (even though he's no longer too fat) are still rocking their stage names? Ain't they more success full that Bow Wow --- or Shad Moss?
Guys, should Bow Wow change his name?
