This is the second time Bow Wow has announced his retirement. In a 2009 interview he said, “There’s no more that needs to be done on the music side… nothing more that I want to accomplish.” He was 22 years old when he made the previous announcement.
Fans on social media shared their confusion at the retirement news, with many claiming he was already technically retired.
