‘You Act Just Like Shai’: Bow Wow’s Silly Video with Jermaine Dupri Has Fans Comparing the Rapper to His Daughter

Bow Wow left fans hollering on Thursday, Dec. 16, after uploading a video of himself taunting his mentor Jermaine Dupri as he slept.

In the Instagram clip, the 34-year-old, who appeared to be on a private jet, is seen lip-syncing to Twista’s 2004 hit “Slow Jamz” featuring Jamie Foxx and Kanye West.

In addition to the lip movements, Bow Wow also pretended to give Dupri a belly massage as he informed his followers in the caption that the mogul is in a sleep coma because he indulged in “too much” vegan ice cream. 

The “Let Me Hold You” lyricist wrote, while mentioning he needs to start acting his age given his latest antics, “I have to grow up! I don’t know when I will, but I seriously HAVE to start acting my age. Jd had too much of his vegan ice cream. I BROUGHT THE FINGERS OUT!! and [whoever] cut my music off, I’m kicking they a–.”

As fans began to view the post, many encouraged Bow Wow to remain a child at heart despite his comment of needing to grow up.

“There’s nothing wrong with being a kid at heart, you see the world through different eyes. Keep that young spirit alive!”

“Don’t lose the kid in you.”

“Keep laughing and enjoying life is all you’re doing.”

“It good to tap into our childlike energy. Be you at all times.”

Another said, “We see where Shai gets her silliness from.” A third Instagram user stated, “Ok, we see why Shai funny af.”

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.
