Rapper Bow Wow has confirmed one of the worst kept secrets in rap history – he is a father. Bow Wow, real name Shad Gregory Moss, wrote an open letter to his fans on his website admitting that he welcomed a little girl, Shai Moss in June. He previously slammed websites and blogs that reported the news. In the emotional letter, Bow Wow wrote about how his daughter has inspired him to work harder and treat his own mother better. He also hinted at how heartbreaking it is that he can’t get to be a full time father to his child who lives five hours away with her mother. Her mother is Bow Wow’s ex-girlfriend and music video vixen Joie Chavis. The rapper promised to shield his daughter from photographers and the general public so she can have a normal childhood - something he did not have.
