Luther Campbell/ Uncle Luke
The 60-year-old rapper and producer was born in Miami, Florida. Today, he may have numerous hit solos to his credit but his career got off to an unconventional start. He worked at Mt Sinai Hospital as a cook, Celebrity Net Worth reported. During his time at the facility, he started to promote concerts across the city and succeeded in bringing popular rap groups to perform. This generated an interest in music and within no time he was learning audio editing and music production and that too after taking a course at a local radio station.
He had an eventful '90s. The decade was underlined by extreme highs and lows, which helped him shape his career even better. In 1992, Campbell released his first solo album 'I Got S*** on My Mind'. He followed it up with two back-to-back albums titled 'In the Nude' and 'Freak for Life.' In 1995, Luke Records declared bankruptcy but that didn't stop him from trying his hand at music. 'Uncle Luke' was one of the hits of 1996. A couple of years later, he changed direction briefly when took up an acting role in 'Ride'.
On the personal front, Campbell has seven kids from five relationships. His seventh kid came from marriage with Kristin Thompson in 2008. A year later, he was arrested for not being able to pay up child support.
Cree Campbell
One of the seven kids happens to be Cree, who is a star in her own right. It's been long since she has stepped out of her father's shadows and taken over the world like it's no one's business. Fairly new to the West Coast, this businesswoman is focused on bettering her skills as a marketer and event activator. As he honed her skills, she found Inspire Agency, an experiential marketing firm, which means the TV screen is not the only place you can catch her.
She also owns a luxury fitness wear line — 'FIM33' — that caters to those interested in activewear. Cree shares it with sister Teenear and mother Tina Lucas. "Fitness is something that is true and near to my heart as well as my family, we use this a time to bond, better ourselves, and enrich our overall lifestyle and longevity," she told New York Trend.
Stevie J
The Grammy Award-winning hip-hop producer, singer, songwriter, DJ and television producer is someone who needs no introduction. He has been in showbiz for decades and there's a reason for it — he's that good at what he does. But with time, his personal life and the many affairs he has had over the years took precedence and overshadowed the good work he had done.
In the early 1990s, Stevie was discovered by Sean 'P Diddy' Combs, who signed him to Bad Boy Records' Hitman roster of producers and writers. Over there, he produced 'Only You,' which featured The Notorious B.I.G. This gig led Stevie to produce Biggie's 'Mo Money Mo Problems,' 'Nasty Boy,' 'Notorious Thugs' and 'Last Day' among others.
Reportedly, Stevie J has been romantically linked to Eve, Alex Martin (Whoopi Goldberg's daughter), Mimi Faust, and Joseline Hernandez. He has six children — Dorian Henderson-Jordan, Sade Jordan, Steven Jordan Jr, Savannah Jordan, Eva Giselle Jordan, Bonnie Bella Hernandez.
Savannah J
Savannah is one of Stevie's six children. He and his ex-girlfriend Carol Antoinette Bennet welcome their firstborn on November 24, 1998. Savannah, unlike girls her age, enjoys being a part of reality TV. She was on 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' too. Her storyline on 'GUHH', from what we hear, is all about clashes with her father. But that will not be her only focus — she will be talking about her streetwear clothing line. In other news, being on the show didn't feel out of place for her given she grew up in the lifestyle.
Stevie Jr
He too is Stevie's kid and brother to Savannah. Not much is known about him yet except that he too is used to being around the cameras. Apart from pursuing a career in basketball and modeling, Stevie has been a part of several reality shows, albeit as a guest. He was a supporting cast member on 'Stevie J & Joseline: Go Hollywood' and 'Leave It to Stevie' and 'LHHATL.'
Joining them will be returning stars Angela Simmons, Vanessa Simmons, Egypt Criss, Tahira 'Tee Tee' Francis, Boogie Dash, Briana Latrise, Jojo Simmons, and Eric 'Lil Eazy-E' Wright Jr. (Eazy-E's son).
