Bow Wow's children are his oldest daughter, Shai Moss, and his son, Stone Gemariah Kamin. However, the latter was almost left fatherless when the rapper tried denying paternity until the child's mother took legal action.

On Instagram, rapper Bow Wow uses his birth name, Shad Moss, as his username. The star might be well-known for his musical and acting career, but another role he takes seriously is being a father.

He posts mostly about his work on social media but occasionally mentions his children. One of these special moments was on April 27, 2023, when Bow Wow's daughter, Shai Moss, celebrated a significant milestone.

Sharing a picture of the gorgeous preteen, the singer revealed his little girl was celebrating the "BIG 12!!" The star tagged her, wishing her a happy birthday and showing how much of her doting father he was and what plans lay ahead of her special day; he added:

"Dad loves you. We going big on big today!"

In February 2021, two days after Valentine's Day, Shai uploaded a photo of a bouquet of red flowers. The little girl revealed the flowers were sent as a surprise gift from her father by tagging him on the post and thanking him for them.

Social media users quickly berated Bow Wow for denying his son.

While Bow Wow's daughter has a social media presence, her parents ensure they are clued up on what happens in it. The rapper is no longer in a relationship with Shai's mother, but they are co-parenting.

Who Is Bow Wow's Daughter's Mother, and What Is Know About Her Life?

The little girl's account, which features videos and pictures of herself and her parents, is monitored by her mother and has 42 posts and 511,000 followers. Shai's mother, Joie Chavis, is the founder and CEO of Joie In Life, an apparel, gear, and weight loss programs company.

She frequently posts videos and images of her clothing brand, event attendances, exercising, and general life. Bow Wow's children also include his son, whose paternity he once appeared to deny.

Who Is Bow Wow's Son, and Why Did He Initially Deny His Paternity?

On September 24, 2020, Bow Wow took to his X, formerly known as Twitter, account to share an adorable post of his son, Stone Gemariah Kamin. In the photo, the little boy was fully dressed while fast asleep in a cozy fluffy blanket, with his father showing how handsome he thought the child was by writing:

"Man, you gone take all the girls."

Like his older half-sister, Stone also has an Instagram account with 42 posts and 2,304 followers. The little boy's post documents his general life from when he was a newborn until now. His mother is Olivia Kamin, who has an Instagram presence with 27 posts and 89.700 followers.

Although Bow Wow appeared to acknowledge Stone in 2020, the rapper said he was "fine with Shai" a year later. Referencing the late Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean," when someone asked him on X if he had a son, the star replied:

"NP Billie Jean for the 2nd time."

For those who don't know, part of the chorus of the Jackson track sees the late singer claiming: "Billie Jean is not my lover/She's just a girl who claims that I am the one/But the kid is not my son/She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son."

Social media users quickly berated Bow Wow for denying his son. That October, an Instagram page called The Neighborhood Talk shared screenshots of a paternity filing Olivia made against the rapper after he tried disowning Stone because she allegedly wanted him to pay child support.

The paternity test shared by the page proved that Bow Wow was indeed Stone's father. After the truth was revealed, the artist reportedly shared that Stone is "such a blessing" in his life.
