Bow Wow is back to telling the world he is serious about his acting career. He recently told MTV from the set of his new movie Hurricane Season “Music is second to me right now. Acting is my number-one priority.” Critics say his career shift is due to his sagging album sales and popularity in the music world. He has been campaigning hard for his acting career as last month he also stated “I’m going to try to be the next Will Smith.” Hate him or not, Bow Wow does have a decent film resume and aside from Hurricane Season he will also be in the indie comedy Driving Lessons where he plays….a thug.
