CHRISTIANS IN THE MARKET PLACE

CHRISTIANS IN THE MARKET PLACE

Rapper and CSI: Cyber actor Shad "Bow Wow" Moss , 27, popped the question to
Love and Hip Hop: New York 's Erica Mena, 28, last September. The two recently got hitched in a private ceremony in April 2015.

The pair worked together on various projects over the years before reuniting on his BET show, 106 and Park , last February, where they shared an on-camera kiss that
set the relationship in motion.

Bow Wow (who was raised in
a Christian home and is himself now a Born Again Christian) had this to say about Erica "We noticed we had a lot in common and just took it day by day. You know how it
goes, you text one day, then start texting every day," says Moss of their modern-
day romance. "She's very smart, silly, knows how to hustle. And she's electrifying.
Anytime you have all of that in a woman, what more could you want?"

Bow Wow was born in Reynoldsburg and raised in Columbus by his mother and stepfather,
Shad Gregory Moss (his real names) demonstrated a talent for rapping almost as soon as he had
learned to talk, making his future in the music business apparent within the first
few years of his life.

At the age of 5 he began performing publically under the
moniker Kid Gangsta, and by his 6th year he had already set his music career
in motion by taking the stage between acts on Snoop Dogg 's Chronic Tour.

Snoop was impressed enough with the underage MC to hire him as an opening
act, and changed his stage name to the far more intimidating Lil' Bow Wow; the elder rapper also brought Moss to the
attention of producer Jermaine Dupri , resulting in a record deal with Dupri's So So Def label soon afterwards. The rest you know is history.
