<p>Lil&#8217; Bow Wow was one of the <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/bow-wow-defends-himself-after-being-criticized-on-twitter-for-offering-1k-meet-greet-with-fans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hottest names</a> in the early 2000s, from music to movies. But his daughter <strong>Shai Moss</strong> isn&#8217;t interested in following his early footsteps. Her mother, <strong>Joie Chavis</strong>, recently explained why her daughter has been appearing less on social media.</p>

<p>Shai has lovingly become an &#8220;innanet niece&#8221; as the 12-year-old showed child star promise. In recent years, she&#8217;s landed acting credits in the series, &#8220;We Got This,&#8221; &#8220;Side Hustle,&#8221; and the movie &#8220;A Screenshot to Santa.&#8221; She&#8217;s also wowed social media users by how easily she keeps up with Joie Chavis on the dance floor!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Shai Moss Asked Joie Chavi To Post Her Less</h3>
<p>Still, Chavis says her daughter is steering clear of the child star lane. She revealed how Shai feels in a recent YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZXA81s2_rI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a>.</p>
<p>The mother, who also shares a son with rapper Future, says several of her followers have asked about Shai&#8217;s absence on social media. While sitting inside a vehicle, Joie explained Shai&#8217;s specific request.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Shai will not let me record her. You guys see it, you guys see it in the video. I don&#8217;t know what it is. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because she&#8217;s about to be a teenager. She&#8217;s literally going to be 13 in six months,&#8221; Joie said. &#8220;She just does not like being recorded. She&#8217;s like, &#8216;Mom, stop, mom, mom, stop&#8217; every time I have to sneak and do it. And even when I sneak and do it, she gets so mad.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Looking &#8220;crazy&#8221; is Shai&#8217;s usual excuse for waving away the camera. But, Chavis says Shai Moss&#8217; reaction is the same whether the pre-teen has her hair done or not.</p>
<p>Joie says she has asked Shai to identify why she doesn&#8217;t like the video recording. At the core of it, the daughter of the hip hop legend wants a normal childhood, her mother says.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;I just don&#8217;t want to be recorded, like, I don&#8217;t want to do that. And I also don&#8217;t want to act either,'&#8221; Joie explained as per what Shai told her. &#8220;&#8216;I feel like you and my dad are trying to pressure me and I just don&#8217;t want to do it, I just want to be a kid. I just want to go to school and you know be a kid, play sports and have friends. I just want to be a kid.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As for Chavis, she says Shai Moss could be &#8220;out here getting to the bag. But the mother says she has no plans to pressure her daughter into stardom. Joie says Shai Moss&#8217; showed her dislike for the camera in a recent TikTok dance upload (see below).</p>

<p>Shai sliding out of the spotlight comes on the heels of her father sharing his regrets about having childhood fame. In September, he <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CxI8LrWrljm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared a post</a> admitting he&#8217;s never been to prom or college and had dreams of pledging a fraternity.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Y&#8217;all think I&#8217;m lucky because of my lifestyle, but I really want what y&#8217;all have,&#8221; Shad Moss wrote on the Instagram upload.</p></blockquote>
