Bow Wow’s rap career peaked in the early 2000s when he released several platinum-selling albums, including Beware of Dog and Doggy Bag.

The former 106 & Park host released his first rap album when he was 13 and later transitioned into acting in titles like Lottery Ticket, Like Mike, All About the Benjamins and CSI: Cyber.

When a fan suggested that the Atlanta rap star “study chemistry or something” once he retires, he revealed, “I got 3 NEW tv shows i dont [sic] have time for that baby.”
