“I always said I’d retire from music before 30,” the musician tweeted. “I just can’t see myself at 30 years old rapping.”

“Made over 20 million off rap. Why be greedy? Im good with everything I accomplished. I made it to the white house,” added the Ohio-born rapper, whose real name is Shad Moss.

As Lil’ Bow Wow, the musician released his first album “Beware of the Dog” in 2000. He has also launched a career as an actor appearing in movies such as “Madea’s Big Happy Family” and the TV crime series “CSI:Cyber.”

He said on Twitter he planned to focus on acting in the future and is also producing two TV shows.
