"Bow Wow has described his baby daughter as &amp;quot;a blessing&amp;quot;.  The rapper - real name Shad Moss - revealed that he had secretly fathered a child with an unnamed woman on his official blog this week.  &amp;quot;I waited so long to tell y&amp;#039;all the truth because I was nervous on how y&amp;#039;all would look at me. Y&amp;#039;all know everyone makes a big deal out of everything I do. I wanted to be 1st n let y&amp;#039;all know the real (sic),&amp;quot; he wrote.  Bow Wow has since told US Weekly that he is inspired to be a good father to the little girl as his own father was absent from his youth, a pattern that he does not want to repeat.  &amp;quot;Being that my father was never in my life, this just makes me want to give her everything I wished my father had given me. She&amp;#039;s a blessing,&amp;quot; he explained.  Bow Wow previously insisted that he wanted his daughter to grow up outside of the public spotlight, writing on his website: &amp;quot;[I] want her to be able to cheerlead with her lil friends with out some asshole sticking his camera all in my lil girl face. &amp;quot;I know how fame is. I missed out on so much that I now know how important it is to cherish and have those things in your life.&amp;quot;  &amp;gt; Bow Wow: &amp;#039;I like UK hip hop&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
