Bow Wow Posts Then Deletes Photos of His Son After Wishing Him a Happy Birthday

In another example, that time flies, fans of rapper Bow Wow are seeing that less than a year after he confirmed to the world that he has a son, he is now celebrating his baby boy’s first birthday.

In a now-deleted June 23 Instagram post, Bow Wow shared photos from a birthday photo shoot for his son, Stone Moss, while wishing him a happy birthday. He wrote, “Happy B-Day to my baby boy. 1 yrs old.🏀 ❤️ love you with all my heart. #babyBow.”

Olivia Sky, who is the young boy’s mother, wrote her own sweet message on Instagram. It reads, “My baby is a year old today! You,my baby boy, are a blessing! You are one in a million and a natural star! You carry so much light and happiness with you everywhere you go and I promise to do everything in my power to keep it like that!”

She added, “I remember when I found out that you was on the way…one of my firsts thoughts was Wow God! You must think more of me than I think of myself! The opportunity to help you grow into the person you’re meant to be is such an honor. I don’t know what exactly I did to deserve you but I promise I got you for life my love. 🧡 Happy First Birthday to the sweetest little boy I know. #happybirthday #paulabishopphotography.”

Bow Wow, 34, first revealed he had a son in September. On Twitter, he shared a photo of his son sleeping in a wrapped blanket and wrote, “Man you gone take all the girls. 🤴” Less than a month ago, Sky blasted Bow Wow, born Shad Moss, on Instagram in a series of posts. In one of those, she wrote, “Ni–as rather f-ck with your head while u going thru PP [postpartum] than help u get back to yourself because they know your potential and it’s INTIMIDATING.”

Under a gossip blog’s repost of Sky’s rant, Bow Wow replied, “Not my f–king problem. Go get you a man who cares. I barely know the girl. I don’t even have a photo with the girl. Let that hurt go.”

Bow Wow also has a daughter Shai Moss, whom he welcomed with dancer and model Joie Chavis. Shai Moss is 10 years old and already proving to be a rising star as she can sing, dance and act.

Still independent.

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.
