Lil' Bow Wow was born Shad Gregory Moss on March 9, 1987, in Columbus, Ohio, and was raised in nearby Reynoldsburg. He was a middle child, a brother between two sisters. It didn't take long for his musical talents to surface. "He'd pick up my kitchen utensils and combs and brushes and start rapping," his mother, Teresa Caldwell, told Jet. By the time he was three it was clear that Shad (the name still used by his friends) was something special, and his mother began to enter him in talent shows around the Columbus area. He began performing under the name of Kid Gangsta. - Bow Wow -- Snoop Dogg

The rapper played an orphan who finds a magic pair of athletic shoes that might once have belonged to basketball superstar Michael Jordan. The shoes turn him into an NBA superstar, and the five-foot-tall Bow Wow (he dropped the "Lil'" in 2002) announced plans to play in the NBA himself. - Bow Wow -- Rappers
