Joining our list of destitute rappers is Bow Wow, who was more famous in his younger days when he was 'Lil Bow Wow.' We wonder if he'll switch it to 'Old Bow Wow' in years to come? The change of name was meant to signify his growth from a child to an adult rap star, but it ultimately signified the end of mainstream success for the artist, whose real name is Shad Gregory Moss. By 2012, when ordered to pay $3000 per month in child support to the mother of his daughter, it transpired that Moss had just $1,500 in the bank.
We have to admire his commitment to faking it when he can't make it, though. The pictures you see here tell a story. Bow Wow tweeted out a picture to his followers to give them the impression he was headed out to a show on a private plane. Unfortunately for him, a fellow passenger saw what he was up to and ratted on him. Bow Wow was flying as a standard fare-paying passenger, just like all the rest of us.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
