Shad Moss, a.k.a. Bow Wow, learned the hard way Wednesday why it's a risky move to fake financial success in the age of social media and smart phones.

The 30-year-old rapper and actor bragged on Instagram Tuesday that he was traveling on a private jet for a NYC press run for his new We TV reality series “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta."

But later that day, an airline passenger allegedly spotted him traveling to New York on a regular commercial flight and posted a photo to Snapchat and Twitter to prove it.

“So this guy lil bow wow is on my flight to NY,” the passenger captioned the photo. “But on Instagram he posted a picture of a private jet captioned 'traveling to NY today' smh.”

It didn't take long for social media sleuths to do a reverse image search on the original photograph to find the same private jet shot on an advertisement for a VIP transportation service in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Bow Wow hasn't said much about his social media snafu, but Twitter has already created a full-blown #BowWowChallenge, a trending hashtag encouraging people to “fake it like Bow Wow and Tweet like a millionaire.”

TooFab compiled some of the funniest tweets mocking Bow Wow.
