Bow Wow in Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, The (2006)
BOW WOW (Twinkie), who made his motion picture debut in the hit family feature Like Mike, is also one of the most successful teen musical sensations in American history. Known as Shad Moss to his family and friends, the 19-year-old most recently starred in the Fox Searchlight teen dramedy Roll Bounce and co-starred alongside Cedric the Entertainer, Vanessa Williams and Steve Harvey in the comedy Johnson Family Vacation.
Bow Wow’s debut album, “Beware Of Dog” sold over three million copies worldwide and the album’s first single, “Bounce With Me,” hit number one on both the Rap and R&B charts. On his sophomore release, “Doggy Bag,” Bow Wow again collaborated with So So Def CEO Jermaine Dupri, and the first single from that CD, “Thank You,” was dedicated to his many fans. Along with his own albums, Bow Wow popped up on the soundtracks for the films Wild Wild West and Big Momma’s House.
His most recent album, “Wanted,” features the number-one hit singles “Let Me Hold You,” featuring Omarion, as well as “Like You,” featuring Ciara. On its way to doubleplatinum status, “Wanted,” is one of Bow Wow’s most successful albums to date. In July, Bow Wow will receive Hollywood Life’s “Young Hollywood” award for Most Exciting Movie Crossover artist.
Bow Wow’s 2001 Scream Tour sold out across the country, and he recently headlined this summer’s Scream IV Tour—which grossed more than $20 million— continuing its reign as the number-one teen-heartthrob tour in history.
In addition, Bow Wow is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “youngest solo rapper to ever hit number one.” Expanding upon his amazing career as a recording artist and motion-picture star, he is an entrepreneur whose empire has included a clothing line (Shago) and various other business ventures.
