Bow Wow Signs Management Deal with Bad Boy Records

Bow Wow (aka Shad Moss) is looking to take his career to new heights. The Columbus, Ohio native signed a management deal with Diddy, executive James Cruz and Bad Boy Records. He shared the news via Instagram. The caption read, "Today Shad "Bow Wow" Moss announced he’s officially signing with Bad Boy’s James Cruz and Diddy for management. Shad (Bow Wow) seems excited and ready for change and with Executive James Cruz abiding by one simple motto. “Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing…winning is a habit”, then Shad should be on a for sure come up!"

Moss, who took a break from the music scene in recent years, made his return when he released "Where You At" this Summer. He announced that he's parting ways with Cash Money in May and stated in June that he's reuniting with Jermaine Dupri. Now with Bad Boy on his side, it looks like Shad Moss is gearing up for something big musically. Perhaps this means fans will finally get to hear Underrated, his seventh studio album. The LP was pushed back several times over the last five years. Bow Wow's last album was New Jack City II, which dropped in 2009. Outside of hip-hop, Shad followed up his hosting stint with 106th & Park by nabbing a role in the fourth installment of the hugely popular CSI series, CSI: Cyber.
