Snoop Dogg spotted him at six years old, Jermaine Dupri put him in the studio, and by age thirteen he had the whole world rocking oversized jerseys. Lil' Bow Wow didn't just top the rap charts; he ruled them. Tracks like 'Bounce with Me' were everywhere, and before he could even drive a car, he scored a major Hollywood hit by playing an orphan in magic sneakers in 'Like Mike'.
Growing up in front of the cameras is tricky, and he has definitely given us plenty to talk about. Between hosting BET's '106 & Park', packing arenas on throwback tours, and inspiring the odd viral meme, he's never stopped working. Love him or laugh with him, you can't deny he's still right in front of the camera.
