Bow Wow invests in NBA team

Music may be Bow Wow’s present occupation, but the rapper is laying the groundwork for life beyond the mic with various business ventures.

Among those is Prestigious, a shoe store he co-owns with Atlanta radio personality Greg Street.
The store is the first taste of business success away from the music industry for Bow Wow, who plans on opening another sneaker store, franchising his first McDonald’s and sharing ownership of an NBA basketball team.

"I can’t say what team yet, but it’s definitely gonna go down with a certain NBA team," Bow Wow said and hinted that news about the investment will be made public at the end of next month.

Bow Wow......Hustlin

“I wanna be a muthaf**kin' hustla!" Those were the opening words on Snoop’s classic, Doggystyle and they were voiced by a then eight-year-old Lil” Bow Wow. Strange hearing those curse words from a youngster’s mouth, but 14 years later, Bow Wow is now old enough to talk any way he wishes.

Dreams of being a hustler have come true for “Mr. 106 & Park” who not only has the ladies going wild, but has opened his own shoe chain, Prestigious with two stores in Atlanta and is in the process of owning a McDonald’s franchise at 20 years old. Throw in his Homeboyz series, set to debut this month on MTV and the network might have a Black version of Entourage in a cartoon form. The braids are gone, the material has grown, and he’s gone through his first year of being in the tabloids. The Price of Fame is a true album title for Bow Wow, as the boy-turned grown man sees the scrutiny of growing up in the Hip-Hop eye. However, Bow Wow is still here, and he’s got something that grandmothers and Young Jeezy all respect.
