Bow Wow Leaves Cash Money Records
SHAD ‘BOW WOW’ MOSS
Shad Moss aka Bow Wow is no longer in the Cash Money roster.
The rapper announced his departure from the iconic record label through Face- book.
“This is a peaceful situa- tion. This is me waking up and looking myself in the mirror, analyzing myself and asking myself, ‘What do you want out of your career? What do you wanna do?’ I have so much music that needs to be heard. That wants to be heard by my fans. And I feel like it’s unfair. I’ve been quiet now for four years.

With that being said I feel like I had to part ways.”
He signed to CMR in 2009, but never released any music.
