Rapper Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss, has confirmed via Twitter that he has welcomed another child.

There was speculation that Bow Wow had had another child. In August, Instagram model Olivia Sky was posting pictures on her Instagram stories about her new baby boy and was heavily suggesting Bow Wow was the father. In a Q&A session, she explicitly named him as the father. He stayed fairly silent on the matter until officially breaking the news yesterday.

On September 15th, however, Bow Wow posted a clip of his new song “D.W.M.O.D.” (Dealing with My Own Demons) to his Instagram page. The lyrics allude to the child but presents the idea that Bow Wow questioned the paternity. “Shai asking about a brother, I don’t know what to say / That’s gon’ be one of them talks we have face-to-face / I’m looking in his eyes, I’m trying to see me in him / I’m peeping out his swag, and I see the resemblance / Seen the boy three times, why would I lie? / Baby moms gon’ bring him through just so we spend some time.”

At this time, the rapper nor the model have shared what the name of their baby boy is.

The rapper, who recently stared on season 3 of The Masked Singer, has one other child, a daughter named Shai. Bow Wow welcomed Shai with his ex, fitness influencer and model Joie Chavis, on April 27, 2011. Bow Wow and Joie had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2010 to 2017. They now co-parent Shai amicably.

Congratulations to Bow Wow and Olivia on the arrival of their baby boy!
