Bow Wow’s height
After the success of Beware of Dog, Bow Wow realized that he was due for an identity change; at the time, his stage name was Lil’ Bow Wow, and he had decided he wasn’t “lil'” anymore.
“I changed my name because I’m getting older now and it’s too many Lil’s. All these Lil’ rappers, I’m just kind of getting real irritated by it,” he told MTV News at the time. “I said, ‘You know what? Drop the Lil’. Forget it. I’m Bow Wow. Besides, I’m growing up, I’m not little anymore. [I just decided that] two weeks ago. I really got irritable. It’s all these Lil’ cats, forget it. I’m Bow Wow now. Everything is just ‘Bow Wow,’ no ‘Lil’ Bow Wow.'”
Despite Bow Wow dropping the “Lil'” from his name, he often hasn’t been able to escape jokes about his height. According to the MD Daily Record, the longtime entertainer stands at 5 feet, 7 inches tall.
