Rapper and television personality Shad “Bow Wow” Moss threw shade at “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” cast-members after finding out their ratings dropped to an all-time low.

Bow Wow has made it very clear in the past that he’s not a fan of “LHHATL.” The star and executive producer of We Tv’s “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” had a few words for VH1 and their reality crew’s “ratings.” Bow took to his Instagram story and added, “VH1 Losing ratings with ‘Love and Hip Hop Atlanta!’ Maybe because we got all they cast. Nobody want to see them old a**…. Ya’ll been on TV for 27 years. They want young and knew…”

Fans blasted the “GUHH” reality star and dragged him in the comment’s section online.

“Mona must have turned down his application 👀,” one fan said.

“But who’s watching Growing Up Hip Hop? honestly? and young & new? shad moss, you’re like 30. stop it. now,” another added.

“Shad wanna be on love and hip hop Mona give him a story 😂,” one person wrote.

“LHHATL” overnight ratings were down by 25 percent averaged around 2.06 million viewers for the season compared to 2.74 million a year ago.

Fans also accused Bow Wow of being “bitter” because his ex-fiance Erica Mena is featured on “LHHATL.” The couple were engaged in 2014 and called off their wedding in 2016 after Mena announced their miscarriage online. The couple went their separate ways and Mena re-joined the VH1 reality show.

Bow Wow took another shot at the “LHHATL” crew in June. He tweeted, “Its only day 3 of filming and people already fighting and tearing up the set. Why is VH1 talent walking on a #guhhatl set unannounced? Mona get your clients.”

The “Outta My System” rapper just won’t let up on the VH1 cast.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
