‘She Going Right for Them Disney Checks’: Fans Praise Bow Wow’s Daughter Shai’s Reenactment of One of His Scenes from ‘Madea’ Film

Shai Moss‘ acting abilities floored fans on Jan. 6 after the 10-year-old decided to reenact one of Bow Wow‘s film scenes. 

In the Instagram post, Moss, who appears to be in what looks like a bathroom, recreated a scene that included her father and Teyana Taylor from “Tyler Perry’s Madea‘s Big Happy Family.” The 2011 comedy followed Mabel “Madea” Simmons as she tried to gather her dysfunctional family for dinner to talk about her ailing niece.

Moss starts the video by mouthing the lines of Taylor’s argument with Bow Wow. In the recording, Moss portrays both characters in the film by shifting positions once completing their lines. The former lovers discussed Bow Wow’s character Bryon revealing Taylor’s I.Q. test scores to an unidentified individual. 

The pre-teen is seen saying as Taylor’s character Sabrina, “Bryon, you told her about my I.Q. test scores? For real, that’s how you feeling.” Moss then replies as Bryon, while shifting to the right, “What are you talking about?” 

The recording wraps up with Moss shifting back to the left side as Sabrina and threatening the unnamed individual Bryon allegedly disclosed the information to. She said, “Oh you make me sick. You so ugly with your yellow self. And you start with me. Go ahead, start with me. Jump frog, jump.” 

In addition to the clip, Moss captioned the post, “My dad’s gonna kill me.” Immediately following the upload, Moss’ mother Joie Chavis, and father shared their reactions to the video. Bow Wow wrote, “OMG! Noooooooooo.” Chavis jokingly expressed how she would be taking back control of her daughter‘s Instagram account. She said with two laughing face emojis, “I’m taking the account back.”

As Moss’ recording began circulating on social media, many applauded her acting chops. One user even pointed out how she is an “actress in the making.” 

“She is going right for them Disney checks …..secure the bag lil sis.”

“She’s a star!!! No ifs ands or buts about it!!!”

“She played them roles a lil too good.”

“She’s definitely an ACTRESS in the making.”

“She did both characters! Nah she finna be a young goat lol.”

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.
