When my daughter was born, I said: 'I feel like I know what I've been waiting my whole life to be.'

To the world, I'm Bow Wow. When I leave here and I go to L.A., and I go to my daughter's house and I sit with her, I feel like Shad. I'm not Bow; I'm 'Daddy.' It's, like, the illest feeling in the world. I feel like I'm away from everything.

But everything changed when I saw my son for the first time and today, I love my son, who is 18 months, the most in the world.

It's all kinds of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live.

My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be, and much less about what we would do.

Everybody says, 'When you have kids, you really get away from yourself.' But really, it's the most selfish thing I've ever done. It's like, Okay, I'm going to create unconditional love for myself, and I'm going to need it and want it and ask for it every day, and I'm going to get it.
