Despite his recent antics, Bow Wow has an illustrious career that stems from the Death Row era. He's worked alongside JD, joined the Cash Money team, served as a host on 106 & Park, and let's not forget his leading role in Like Mike. However, all good things come to an end including Bow Wow's career in hip-hop.

After a fan asked Bow Wow whether he's still considering retiring after his next project, the rapper confirmed that this is true. Though it's not necessarily because he's done with making music but more so to make sure that he's fully attentive in his daughter's life, especially as he pivots more towards television and film. "Fuck yes! I have to get shai ready she wants to follow in my footsteps so i have to shift my hustle. She next up! We are going to own tv and film. Daddy daughter duo like no other," he proclaimed on the 'Gram.

Thankfully, this will happen after his next album which could very well be his upcoming collab with Omarion. The two were scheduled to hit the road on the Millenium Tour but of course, coronavirus has postponed all live music events, for the most part. However, he did reveal that their joint project would arrive this year. 

"Me and O have been recording... might drop it soon not sure. I gotta callem today," he replied to a fan.
