With his new album “Wanted” currently sitting at No. 5 on The Billboard 200, his new joint "Like You" featuring girlfriend Ciara at No. 63 on the Hot 100 (the best chart position of any debut single this week) and throngs of teenage girls worshiping his every paw print, it’s no wonder that rapper Bow Wow doesn’t have college in his plans for the foreseeable future.
"If I do it, it'll be later on. If I had to do it, I'd major in business," the recent high school graduate told The Columbus Dispatch before a concert appearance in the city Thursday.
As one would imagine, his decision to put off college has not gone over well with his mama.
"Hey, I never promised her — but uh, yeah, college, honestly, is really not on my mind right now. I'm so busy," said the 18-year-old, who grew up in nearby Reynoldsburg, Ohio and now lives in Atlanta.
Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss, is currently in the midst of a tour in support of “Wanted,” which currently houses the highest charting single of his career, “Let Me Hold You,” and contains such grown-up topics as money, and urban struggles.
”In order for me to gain respect as a mature rapper, that's what I had to do," he said.
