He shot to fame as a baby-faced rapper aged 13.

But BowWow isn’t so little anymore, and the now 24-year-old has revealed to his fans that he has become a father.

After previously slamming websites who reported the news, the Like You hitmaker has admitted that he welcomed a little girl, Shai Moss, in June.

Writing on his website, the artist, real name Shad Gregory Moss, told fans: ‘My lil girl is getting BIG fast. I love every minute of it. She inspires me to go harder. Even made me treat my mother better, its like it made me into a man overnight.

Shai Moss’ mother is BowWow’s ex-girlfriend and music video star Joie Chavis.
