Bow Wow Celebrating The Big 2-1
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sigh. It seems like only yesterday that a young Atlanta rapper-actor named Lil Bow Wow was blowing out the candles on his 16th birthday cake at Cascade Skate Center. (See top pic. “Ahhhh,” if you like.)
Now the Lil is gone. The youngest solo rapper to reach No. 1 on the U.S. charts has made BIG bucks in the movies (“Roll Bounce,” “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift”); shown off his Atlanta and Miami homes - and luxury automobiles - on “MTV’s Cribs”; and this weekend he’s celebrating his official entrance into adulthood.
And what better place is there to turn legal than in sin city itself?!
That’s right, the artist born Shad Moss (in a more recent picture, below) is having a 21st birthday celebration Saturday in Las Vegas; (though he was actually born March 9). And where Atlanta music mogul Jermaine Dupri, NBA legend Magic Johnson and fellow pin-up Mario attended the 16th fete, this time around Bow Wow’s guest list is filled out by more of the female variety. Melody Thornton of the Pussycat Dolls is among those expected; plus fellow Atlantan T-Pain is scheduled to perform and Swizz Beatz will be on the turntables.
Have a birthday wish or greeting for Bow Wow? And what else do you think this young millionaire could want?

I met Bow Wow at a Falcons game a few years ago, and he was gracious to stop to take some pictures with me, my wife and some kids. He’s a real cool guy. I wish him all the best and happy birthday.

To the young lady…Tamika, you should really think before you type such foolishness. Bow Wow has probably accomplished more at 21,than you will accomplish in your whole life time, and he is still making moves. So, stop hating!! Happy Birthday Bow Wow….Keep up the good work!

Tamika, You ignorant, jelous beatch. Why would you even same some s—t like that. Last time I recalled, Bow Wow’s mom has kept him on the straigh and narrow. So do some research before you predict who will land in jail. Is that where you boyfriend, brother and father are?

Dear Crystal, You said a mouth full. I typed a previous response very quickly because I was on my way out the door. As you said, Tamika got a tall glass of haterade in front of her. Bow wow is a very accomplished young man. And if you know his mom, you would know she keeps him on a short leash. It is amazing how people will try to tear down a young brother who is actually doing good. Last time I checked, there was not mug shot of Bow wow. Keep doing what you are doing Bow wow and make us all proud.

As history has shown to the ATL market. doggie, woof woof what ever his name is will be either:
1) in jail before he is 30,

Sorry of the truth huurts. thats just the way ATL hip hop and Athletes here move an shake.
The truth hurts oh well.
Get over it! a prioson cell is just around the corner.

There sure are a lot of HATERS out here trying to blog!!
Your life is miserable, You’re broke, working everday & blogging you wish you had half of Bow Wow’s life but ya dont so all you can do is throw salt in his game.
“GATORADE….NOT HATERADE”
Haters like yall is what make the world go round. Speaking of jail talk how about you just make sure your sons, fathers, brothers & uncles got bond money cause you couldn’t bail em out even if you wanted too but Bow Weezie can. Now go ahead & keep hitting the clock every am & HATE on others that’s not waiting on a payroll check. remember:Bow Wow dont know what that means to punch in HATERS!!
Happy Birthday Bow Weezie!!

WOW!… did that girl just call herself “Camel Toe Girl”? Why, in a million years, would someone refer to themselves that way?
Also, with all due respect to the one guy that said he and his family met Bow Wow, no one on this page knows him at all as a person. The assumptive, ignorant b******* predicting that a stranger will go to prison are a big part of the problem. If you don’t grow up in a HURRY, your kids will look up to an Atlanta athlete or rapper as a role model… because they don’t have a decent one at home.
