Shad Moss, formerly known as Bow Wow, has become an increasingly interesting character over the past decade. Once a cute, prepubescent rapping sensation founded by the legendary Snoop Dogg, now a big-screen actor, father and occasional pot-stirrer, Moss is definitely not the same little boy we all fell in love with in the early 2000s. He’s a man, but did wisdom come with that maturity?
Wednesday night (July 27) the Lottery Ticket actor responded to a fan’s question of who he would be voting for in the upcoming election, expressing his indifference.
I dont really care because after i learned what i learned about politics i just stay away… Let down https://t.co/S6ORL9nmnr

When a Twitter user cited the years black people fought for the right to vote as a reason for the former 106 & Park host to care about politics, Moss had this to say:
Man i only believe what the eyes see. Im mixed. I dont know what my ancestors was doing. I only know what i see! https://t.co/OdDO2pvtBS

And with this one tweet, the flood gates opened. Outraged fans poured into Moss’ mentions, criticizing his dismissal of such a prominent struggle for black people in America.

The Roll Bounce actor seemed confused overall on why his assertion that he’s mixed cause such an uproar. And although he might not be voting in the upcoming election, he did share this opinion of Donald Trump:
I know yall dont want TRUMP to win i get it. But real is REAL! Homie hotels be the shit. Haha all bs aside. He can run hotels. USA? Idunno
