His big and small-screen work includes roles in Atlanta-filmed "Lottery Ticket," "Madea's Big Happy Family" and "Scary Movie 5" and the television series "CSI."

Shad Moss, as he's also known, also expressed interested in possibly following in  Michael Strahan's shoes when Strahan announced he was leaving the morning show "Live" earlier this year.

"Kelly Ripa I'll come join you and co-host!" Bow Wow tweeted at the time. "You need something young, fresh and fly next to you."
