One of hip hop’s biggest names has announced his retirement from his performing career at the ripe old age of 29.
Shad Moss, better known as Bow Wow, Snoop Dogg’s protege, launched his music career in 2000 with Beware of the Dogg. His 2016 album NYLTH will be his final record, according to a series of tweets he posted Sunday.

“I always said years ago i’d retire from music before 30. I just cant see myself at 30 years old rapping,” he wrote.
He added, “Over 10 million sold, 6 arena tours, 10 top 10’s, a few number 4 platinum albums, 2 gold albums. I’M DONE. ‘Retirement only means that it is time for a new adventure.’ over 10 million sold. This the last one. THANK YOU. Made over 20 million off rap. Why be greedy? I’m good with everything i accomplished. I made it to the White House.”

The musician took to Instagram to talk about his upcoming album.
“My last album will be Executive Produced by my uncle Snoop and myself,” Moss wrote. “Since he brought me in the game, its only right i involve him and end it with him.”
Moss isn’t planning to step out of the limelight after this album drops. Fans can expect to see him on television and in the producer’s chair, if his Twitter is to be believed.
