Shai Moss Makes Acting Debut on 'Side Hustle'

Shai Moss, the daughter of BowWow and Joie Chavis, has made her acting debut on Side Hustle!


To celebrate, Shai shared a video of herself on Nickelodeon's hit comedy series on Instagram, with the caption "Had so much fun working on Side Hustle 💕".


The up-and-coming actor's parents also took to Instagram this past weekend to celebrate their daughter’s accomplishments.

“I’m so proud of you,” Bow Wow wrote online. “I love you so much,” the rapper shared with his daughter. ‘And you are doing his all on your own because you want to! Let’s go baby girl.” Joie simply wrote, “My Baby” in response to her daughter’s milestone.

Side Hustle follows best friends, smart and sarcastic Lex (Jules LeBlanc) and confident and tough Presley (Jayden Bartels), as they devise a plan to make money when fireworks accidentally destroy a boat belonging to the dad of their quirky friend and neighbor, Munchy (Isaiah Crews). 

It is no surprise that Shai Moss is trying her hand in acting. The youngster, after all, is a TikTok sensation with her fans constantly praising her dancing abilities. Shai even helped her mom put together a video for Joie’s Joie In Life YouTube channel. The subject was cooking but fans loved Shai’s vibrant personality.

“You’re going to do big things,” one social media follower told Shai after seeing her Instagram post about Side Hustle. “You did great in that episode,” another fan told Shai.

Bow Wow commented on his daughter’s aspirations to act during an interview with The Grio last year. “Shai is definitely an actress,” the rapper declared. “Raven-Symone is my homegirl and I told her the other day, ‘This is you all over again.’ History repeats itself,” Bow Wow explained.

BowWow himself first shot to fame as a baby-faced rapper when he was aged 13.

“What makes it dope is I didn’t force her,” the celebrity father added. “I’m not one of those parents saying ‘You’re going to do this,'” Bow Wow continued. “She just wants to do it,” the celebrity doted. “At school, she does her plays, she memorizes her lines, she studies, she’s already on it. On TikTok, on Instagram, she gets more views than I do.”

Side Hustle airs Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon!

Nickelodeon South East Asia to Premiere 'Side Hustle' on Saturday 22nd May 2021

NICKELODEON SOUTH EAST ASIA TO PREMIERE SIDE HUSTLE IN IBERIA, THE NORDICS AND WALLONIA ON MAY 22


Share it: @Nickelodeon #SideHustle

Nickelodeon South East Asia will be premiering Side Hustle, Nickelodeon's brand-new live-action buddy comedy starring social media sensations and real-life best friends, Jules LeBlanc and Jayden Bartels, in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia on Saturday 22nd May 2021 at 7:30pm!


Side Hustle follows best friends, smart and sarcastic Lex (LeBlanc) and confident and tough Presley (Bartels), as they devise a plan to make money when fireworks accidentally destroy a boat belonging to the dad of their quirky friend and neighbor, Munchy (Isaiah Crews). Created and executive produced by Dave Malkoff (Henry Danger, Sam & Cat, Victorious) and shot in front of a live studio audience, Side Hustle season one (26 half-hour episodes) is being shot in Los Angeles.


Forced to come up with creative ways to earn money to pay for the damages, Lex, Presley and Munchy enlist the help of Presley’s tech-savvy younger brother, Fisher (Mitchell Berg), who creates an app to connect with people looking for help with small jobs, and Munchy’s bossy older brother Jaget (Jacques Chevelle), who makes sure they keep up with the payments.

“Annie and Jayden are two massively talented stars who kids adore, and we think our audience is going to love seeing them in their own show on Nick,” said Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. “Side Hustle is a new take on the classic buddy comedy, full of wild and hilarious adventures for our unique cast of characters.”

In the premiere episode, “Start Hustling” (#101), the kids get into a jam after accidentally setting a boat on fire. Needing money, they get a job as living mannequins at a fancy store. The kids are excited until they discover they’ll be modeling itchy wool outfits. After spending hours itching and posing, they hatch a plan to close the store early.


LeBlanc is an actress and singer who first came to social prominence in her family’s YouTube channel, “Bratayley.” She has since amassed over 27 million followers across her own social media platforms, and can be seen starring in Brat’s hit YouTube series Chicken Girls and A Girl Named Jo, and the YouTube Red Originals series We Are Savvy. As a singer LeBlanc’s had six songs in the Top Ten iTunes Pop charts, and two Top 50 Billboard Chart hits. She recently won “Choice Music Web Star” at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, “Muser of the Year” at the 2018 Shorty Awards, and is currently nominated for “Favorite Female Social Star” at the 2020 Kids’ Choice Awards. In 2019, LeBlanc joined the Nickelodeon family starring in Annie vs. Hayley, a digital competition show with her younger sister Hayley, and co-hosted Camp Nick alongside Bartels.

Bartels is a singer, actress and dancer who has made a name for herself both on camera and on the stage. Having written and arranged every song she’s released, she debuted her first EP titled “What Really Matters?” last year and released her most recent single “Gameboy” earlier this month. She’s currently on tour opening for pop rock band Echosmith across the U.S., and she went out on a European tour with English singing duo Max & Harvey in 2019. She has a following of almost 12 million across her social media platforms, as well as over 1.6 billion likes on TikTok. On screen, Bartels has played a recurring role Disney Channel’s Coop & Cami Ask the World and lead in the films To The Beat! and its’ upcoming sequel, To The Beat! Back 2 School. She can also be seen in episodes of Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Showtime’s Kidding and CBS’s Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.

LeBlanc and Bartels co-hosted Nickelodeon's virtually-produced Group Chat during summer 2020, which ranked as the number-one unscripted live-action show on cable with kids 6-11 in the second quarter of 2020. Bartels later teamed up with social media star Brent Rivera for season two, which aired during Fall 2020 on Nick. Group Chat is currently airing on Nick UK & Eire.

John Beck & Ron Hart (Knight SquadFuller House, Liv and Maddie) serve as executive producers and showrunners. Production of Side Hustle for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. Omar Camacho serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Side Hustle underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to mine social platforms for the talent that kids love, and to superserve today's kids' interest in growing up to be entrepreneurs. Nick's new content slate is informed by the network's ongoing research and insights into today's generation of kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever and expect to see themselves authentically represented in media and in the world around them; want to make a positive difference in the world as they grow up; consider social media stars as their top role models, alongside their parents; and increasingly meet their much-desired need for family time by co-viewing entertainment content together.

In additional news, Nickelodeon South East Asia premiered Corn & Peg on Saturday 24th April 2021, with new episodes airing weekends at 9:00am (MY/PH)/8:00am (WIB)!
