‘Glad He’s Claiming His Son Again’: Bow Wow Fans Respond to the Rapper’s Answer to This Twitter Question

Bow Wow surprised fans on Feb. 4 after claiming his 1-year-old son, Stone Moss,6 during a Twitter Q&A session. 

The “Like You” emcee’s acknowledgment comes months after he publicly disowned the toddler in separate Twitter posts uploaded last year. Bow Wow, who shares Stone with model Olivia Sky, was proven to be the child’s biological father in October 2021.

In the tweet, the 34-year-old responded to a fan’s question about his plans for the weekend. Bow Wow stated that he would spend time with his son, Stone, relax and work, despite having previous plans to go to Las Vegas.

He wrote, “Was vegas. Don’t think I’m doing that … I’ll work and chill. Spend time w my son and relax. And work some more.” In another Twitter post shared shortly afterward, the rapper replied to a different fan that questioned him about a particular individual he couldn’t “live without.”

The said tweet read, “who’s the one person you can’t live without?” Bow Wow replied he couldn’t live without was his 10-year-old daughter, Shai Moss, and his son, Stone. He wrote, “Shai and my lil man. It’s more than 1. Actually more than 2.”

As Bow Wow’s posts began circulating on social media blogs, many fans mentioned how happy they were to hear the rapper was “claiming” his son again.

“Glad he’s claiming his son again.”

“Good he’s acknowledging him.”

“I see he’s back to claiming his son again! he better keep it that way!”

“Aww he claiming his son again.”

In addition to the “claim” remarks, others expressed that the possible reason behind Bow Wow publicly disowning his son could stem from his relationship with the mother of his child. One wrote, “He’s a great father to Shai, I’m sure he’ll do the same for the baby boy. He needs to get the relationship with the mom together, it’s clearly issues between them.”

Another said, “Maybe we should just mind our business cuz clearly him and his bm got some toxic s–t going on.”

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.
