Shad Moss, widely known as Bow Wow recently interviewed with Real 92.3 LA’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood, and opened up about his battle with depression and hints at being the victim of domestic abuse.
Shad was arrested by Atlanta PD officers during Super Bowl weekend, after his on-again/off-again girlfriend Leslie “Kiyomi” Holden called the police. The 32-year-old “Face Off” rapper was charged with “battery substantial physical harm,” despite the fact that Kiyomi’s scratches were evident across his face.
Shad insists he was wrongfully arrested, and his time in jail had a dramatic effect on him. He suggested he was the victim of domestic abuse, and his now infamous mugshot backs him up.
“First of all, I shouldn’t have been locked up period,” said Shad who is out on bond. The pictures, you saw that. The pictures say it all…”
He said being in jail made him realize he needed to end the abuse.
“When I was in that cell it was a life-changing moment for me. I felt as far as my own self, I needed that. I needed that moment to think, to understand who I was.”
The “Bounce with Me” star also admitted that the scandal was the latest incident in a very difficult year for him.
