Bow Wow is retiring (after his next album), as wants to continue his acting career. Great another singer turned actor… How many more do we really need. I am not quite sure how he is been in the music industry for 16 years considering he is only 21. His first album was released in 2000 (therefore I consider him in the industry a max of 10 years!).

“After 16 years in the music industry and six successful albums, I’ve decided to shift my energy to something else I’m passionate about, acting. I’m going to try to be the next Will Smith.”

Bow Wow does have quite a few acting gigs lined up so we will have to wait and see if he really can be the next Will Smith, because I personally think that Will is one of the most successful all around stars.

Do you think he will keep his stage name Bow Wow, or go to something a little more sophisticated? Such as his real name Shad Gregory Moss?
