US rapper Bow Wow has announced he is retiring from music, saying he has made over $20 million and doesn’t see himself rapping as a 30-year-old.

Bow Wow, 29, who found fame at the age of 13 as Lil’ Bow Wow, said in a series of Twitter messages on Sunday and Monday that his final album will be the upcoming NYLTH. He did not give a date for the release.

“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? I’m good with everything I accomplished. I made it to the White House,” added the Ohio-born rapper.

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.
