Bow Wow has announced that he is retiring from the music industry.

The rapper, real name Shad Gregory Moss, admitted that he has achieved everything he wants with his recording career and now plans to focus on acting.

"This is my last album because for me, there's no more that needs to be done on the music side, I've done everything," Contactmusic quotes him as saying.

"And the scary thing is I'm 22 years old and I'm young. I'm still a baby, so it's kinda like on the music side, I've been doing it since five. That's 17 years of non-stop music, music, music. There's nothing more to accomplish that I haven't seen yet."

The star rose to fame with his debut Beware Of The Dog in 2000 and has since released six albums.

Bow Wow will appear alongside Forest Whitaker and Taraji P. Henson in basketball drama Hurricane Season, released later this year.
