‘Somebody Help Me’: Bow Wow Let His Daughter, Shai Moss, Do His Hair and the Results Are Priceless

It seems Bow Wow may have gone through a rollercoaster of emotions after seeing the results of letting his young daughter, Shai Moss, do his hair. 

The rapper posted a clip with a slicked-back ponytail shaking his head as he jokingly told the 11-year-old to “Take it out.”

The “Like Mike” actor continued to tell Shai, “You got me looking crazy … What kind of ponytail is this!” He expressed to his daughter that he expected a man bun at the top with his hairline brushed down. Shai interrupted him and said, “No, your hairline needs a haircut.” 

Bow Wow pointed out that he didn’t need a cut because he’d gotten a haircut 48 hours earlier, and that he’d soon be getting his hair braided.

After letting out a dramatic sigh, the 35-year-old rapper told his daughter, “You doing Daddy wrong today. You supposed to just wash my hair.” The pair came to a conclusion to let Shai try again and give Bow Wow another hairstyle, however the second style worked him up even more than the first one. 

Shai attempted to put her dad’s hair in a man bun. He was seen fake crying, shaking his head as his daughter laughed in the background. The “Lottery Ticket” star recorded himself as he said to Shai’s mother, “Joie, go get your daughter. She keep messing with me.” 

He proceeded to flip the camera and record his daughter as he screamed behind the camera, “Help me! Somebody help me!” Shai responded by trying to block the camera from showing her. 

Fans were extremely amused with the video and found the hairstyles Shai did on her dad hilarious. 

“Gave him a slick back pony [laughing emojis].”

“Man bun at the tippy [laughing emojis].”

“Aww she tried. [laughing emojis].”

“It really be your own child.” 

Many fans have either grown up with Bow Wow, or watched him grow up and a lot of fans note how nice it is to see the bond between him and his daughter. 

“One thing about Bow Wow, he gonna love his daughter.”

“Say what you want, but as a dad he seems fun.”

“I love a good dad in dad mode.”

“I love them and their videos!”

Bow Wow and his ex-girlfriend, social media personality Joie Chavis, welcomed Shai into the world on April 27, 2011. While the two are no longer together, they co-parent Shai and recently threw her a huge birthday bash celebration.

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.
