The Price of Fame is the fifth studio album by American rapper Bow Wow. It was released on December 19, 2006, by Bow Wow's LBW Entertainment, an imprint of Columbia Records; it serves as the first project issued through the former label. The album features guest appearances from Chris Brown, Johntá Austin, Pimp C, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Da Brat, Lil Scrappy, Khleo Thomas, R. Kelly, and former label boss Jermaine Dupri. Production was handled by the latter two themselves, alongside No I.D., Nitti, Lil Ronnie, LRoc, and Bryan-Michael Cox. It was Bow Wow's second album to contain uncensored profanity, though a Parental Advisory label was never issued.

The Price of Fame received generally positive reviews from music critics and was a commercial success. The album debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 262,000 copies in the first week.[3] A month later the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in January 2007.[4]
