Shad “Bow Wow” Moss is serious about his comeback in hip hop.

When we spoke to Bow Wow in May, he announced his leave from Cash Money and promised his fans that he’ll be going in a whole new direction with the help of his mentor, Jermaine Dupri. “It’s just gonna sound right because he understands the sound and how it just flows into each other,” he said. “It’s kinda easy. And with me out here still being young and knowing what’s hip and knowing what’s hot and me still having a lot of influence on my culture alone, you put that two and two together, it’s gonna be monumental.”

We saw a glimpse of that in “WYA (Where You At?),” which marked the official return of the brand new Bow Wow. Today, Bow Whizzle has more to share as he’s announced a management deal with Bad Boy’s James Cruz and Diddy on Instagram.

We don’t know the specific details of his deal, but it's a good step forward for the actor/rapper. Check back here on BET.com as we get more info.
