For the past 17 years, Shad Moss, who goes by the stage name Bow Wow, has been a familiar face throughout the hip-hop industry. While he is most famous for his rap career, Bow Wow has also managed to develop a pretty significant acting career starring in popular movies such as Like Mike as well as The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Even for the past week, Bow Wow has once again been a hot topic in the world of hip-hop. Unfortunately, due to a Controversial Social Media post, it is not on good terms.

Problems for Bow Wow started back on May 9th, 2017 when he decided to post a picture onto on his Instagram account that made it seem as if we was flying to his next destination on a private luxury jet after being dropped off in a luxury vehicle. However, shortly after making the post, Bow Wow was seen by a fan sitting in the economy class of a commercial flight. The fan posted a picture of Bow Wow sitting in economy class to Snapchat and the photo went viral. A transpiration company located in Florida exposed Bow Wow even further as they revealed the fact that the photo Bow Wow used for the controversial Instagram post was actually a photo that the company took to promote themselves, not a photo taken by Bow Wow. Bow Wow made the situation worse by denying the fact that he used a photo on the internet to make it seem as if he is living a life that today’s top celebrities live. He even responded to the backlash on social media by stating that the people who are producing the backlash comments are misinformed about the situation.

At this point, many leaders of the hip-hop industry, as well as fans, are beginning look for reasons as to why Bow Wow felt the need to put on this luxurious front. This may be a reach from Bow Wow to get the hip-hop industry talking about him again. This also may be Bow Wow Attempting to relive his glory days, as he is not as popular as he once was in the early 2000’s. Considering the enormous amount of negative feedback Bow Wow needs to find another solution to whatever reasoning he may have for the Misleading Instagram post, as this will surely have negative consequences on his career. He will now have a harder time promoting himself to fans as they now have more reason not to take Bow Wow for his word. In the off chance that Bow Wow wants to release another album, the negative feelings fans have may carry over and affect album sales. It may even cause any album released by Bow Wow in the future to flop completely. Considering that Bow Wow’s career is slowing down more and more, you would think Bow Wow would attempt to keep his career as clean as possible not riddle it with scandals caused by silly social media posts.

While Bow Wow has backed himself into a corner with his latest Instagram post, it is in his best interest to find a way to make this right with the hip-hop industry as well as his fans. Admitting that he lied would probably be a good start.

No matter what your stance is on the situation, we should all be thankful that it brought the #BowWowChallenge to social media.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
