Bow Wow Admits He Has a Daughter in Letter to Fans

Bow Wow has revealed news he is now a father. The 24-year-old rapper-turned-film star opened up about his child in a letter to fans, which he posted on his official website.

The 'Madea's Big Happy Family' actor expressed the joy felt over finally being able to share the news with his loyal supporters. "...God gave me the illest gift of my life," Bow Wow wrote. "No lambo, no blk card nuffn ammounts to my lil girl. I waited so long to tell yall the truth because i was nervous on how yall would look at me. Yall know everyone makes a big deal out of everything i do. I wanted to be 1st n let yall know the real [sic]."

Over the past three years, Bow Wow battled inner demons, even contemplating suicide, which he detailed in the letter. "I felt like as a kid i did everything and saw everything too fast which spoiled my adult years [sic]," he revealed. But once his daughter was born, who he refers to as "Shai Shai," his perspective on life changed dramatically.

Bow Wow went on to admit he changes diapers ("Aint as bad as i thought hahaha") and spoke on the drama surrounding his relationship with Shai Shai's mother ("The bs that comes with having a baby momma is expected").

The Young Money/Cash Money member closed out the letter he penned by thanking his fans, which he hoped would continue to support him.

Read the full letter below.

Let me start off by saying i love my fans. With out yall i wudda been left the game. For the past 3 years i been batteling life. Even thought about taking my own. I felt like as a kid i did everything and saw everything too fast which spoiled my adult years. I felt as if i had no purpose to live(Thinking selfishly) until god gave me the illest gift of my life. No lambo, no blk card nuffn ammounts to my lil girl. I waited so long to tell yall the truth because i was nervous on how yall would look at me. Yall know everyone makes a big deal out of everything i do. I wanted to be 1st n let yall know the real. 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 over night. Never been a fan of posting pix of my daughter. Reason is because i want my boo boo to have everything i didnt. Want her to be able to cheerlead with her lil friends with out some asshole sticking his camera all in my lil girl face. I know how fame is. I missed out on so much that i now know how important it is to cherish and have those things in your life. Yes! I change diapers. Aint as bad as i thought hahaha. I want her to live with me so bad. Jus us 2. Thats my dream man but fellas yall know how it go. Baby gotta stay with they momma and all dat bull. I hate that! So i have to fly 5 hrs away to see her. I find myself going into my i phone book jus lookn at pix of her. Sometimes i tear up cuz i just cant believe it brotha be emotional. All in all im good. This is my 1st. I know all my fans gone support me and ride for her like yall been doin my whole career. To the ones that say "Im heart broken how can he do that to us" well i do have a life thats not all about movies or making albums. Im 24 now. I cant wait 4eva. Im happy and if your a fan then ud be happy too cuz yall gone be with me every step of the way. The bs that comes with having a baby momma is expected. So i neva trip.

And if his fans think about it if he writing you all a letter, speaking as if he's stupid to appeal to y'all, he either views you all as retarded or is mocking the black community, maybe both.... But I honestly think he is stupid now

Oooooooooohhhh fuuuuuuck no!!!!! I never knew Bow Wow could not spell, or does he think it's cool to look retarded?! Why didn't your daughter inspire you to go to school?! How the hell you got money and can't pay to get someone to get it proofread?! And if this was a text why didn't your iPhone correct it, my **** correct me when I'm wrong..... This **** is a joke!!! The grammar in this letter is so off, the ****'s ridiculous!!!! If you're gonna write a letter to your fans please be professional, I am in utter shock right now.... Is he really this dumb.... Better yet don't answer I already made my mind up after reading this letter that he is.

Are you some Bow Wow hater or what?! For one he's not stupid and he's got enough money to speek how ever he wants. It's slang! He can be professional or not if he chooses. Oh and once again He Still GETS BANK!!! more than you got to show, so he can do what he pleases.

No I am not a Bow Wow hater, but look that **** his money don't have shot to do with it. It's not cool to look uneducated especially when you have a child (in which he refers to). If he wrote a letter so he would not look bad in the eye of his fans for having a child, why would he write an unprofessional letter?! To look good?!?! I simply don't get that, what does money have to do with being smart. Intellegence is a virtue, and so is a child. If he inspires her, why not in all aspects of his life. He is a father now writing a letter in "slang" does not appeal to anyone. This letter and your response is the exact reason why white people think blacks are uneducated and ignorant, look at the way some of us communicate with one another, and others excuse this dumb **** because he has money..... That's crazy?! And he has money, tell his stupid ass to pay for a tutor. For the record I did not think Bow Wow was retarded until I wrote the letter, and in my opinion only people as uneducated and ignorant ad he will support this crap... Thank you. You can leave the insults as a reply but I could care less

It would have been something had he not tried to cover up. "Scared of how people will look me" **** him. The fact that he ever hid his child makes me loose all respect for him. I would've been excited for him cause I was a big fan. Now he just lost one.

To the ones who made racist comments. You must be bored. Bow Wow first Congratulations on your daughter. Second. Put God first and everything will be alright. Trust and believe. You dont have to be with the mother of your child. Just make sure you both show her all the love you can give her. Just show the mother respect and she needs to do the same to you. It's not about either one of you now. It's about your daughter.

Yal don't know tha half, let that man be. He makes more money then most of us but he's still human everyone makes mistakes. If he's happier with out his bm then damit so be it! Wtf wants to be with someone just cuz yal have a baby and be sad and depressed. Forget it that his lil girl will be set for life. Hope the baby mom takes care of her with the cash he's giving! Some of these triflin females spend there kid's money on themsevles and purses and shoes. For all yal who don't have kids don't speak on ish cuz you don't know! You can say what you want I'm a fan and will always be everyone has a past!!!!

I'm out Ms@sh

Seriously your so stupid so called IGGYPOLI why does everything have to be racial not just colored people mess up but other races do to the thing to me is that people like you are so hateful and envious of what people of another race have accomplished and because you are nothing but i bet a low life and has no life but to hate, you say things that you yourself does not know what your talking about... this world is already so F** UP with so many things that the last thing we need is a racist comment like yours you should see the discovery chanel once in a while and see how many white people are incarcerated not just colored or other races cuz im pretty sure no colored person would comment like that unless your hateful towards your own kind, just let me tell you that your just an ignorant person.

Grow up jackass, maybe your baby momma doesnt want your BS. You stuck it in her without protection. What did you think, you would'nt have a baby momma. By the way, speak english.

Why would he want to take this child away from her mother? They decided to have a child out of wedlock, so they have to endure the road of sharing their time with her. Boo Hoo, he has to fly 5 hrs to see her, well he had no problem flying 5 hrs to have sex with her mother. I hope they end up working together and sharing the tough job of parenting without being selfish.
