'Look at me now!' Stars from their meager beginnings to Now!

 I was listening to an Andre 3000 rap and the line, "We came a long way like dem slim ass cigarettes..." stood out in my mind and  just so happen became the inspiration behind this article.  I was thinking about how some stars were when they first impacted onto the scene to the present day.  Some artists have had meager beginnings but have risen to the level of SUPER STARS.  Let's take a look at a few to see the progression of hungry new jacks, to seasoned veterans that STILL command and garner accolades and adoration from their legions of fans.

Jermaine Dupri Sued By Stripper For Child Support Payments

Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson broke up over him impregnating stripper Sarai Jones. Shortly after, Dupri's financial woes began, indicating he was living off Jackson.
This is a follow up to the Saturday, May 7, 2011 article Jermaine Dupri's Financial Woes Continue With Foreclosure On His Mansion. On Monday, May 9, 2011, Cash strapped producer turned DJ, Jermaine Dupri, was sued by stripper Sarai Jones, mentioned in the aforementioned Judiciary Report article.

Sarai Jones
Jones contends in court, though Judge Margaret Dorsey, ordered him to pay her $10,000 per month in child support payments, he has not given her a single dime. That was one expensive dalliance with a stripper. Men should know better.

Jermaine Dupri and daughter Shaniah
Dupri already has a young daughter with another woman that he is making child support payments on. Seeing as though Dupri is a grown man in his late thirties that refuses to give up his lavish spending and wild partying, financial destruction was bound to occur.

Dupri and rapper Jay-Z, are all about image, stealing copyrights and living off their women
What Dupri and others like him, who are keeping up appearances, need to do is sell his jewelry, cars and flashy clothes and make good on his financial obligations. Selling his home and buying a smaller one would be appropriate as well. If he is not careful, his creditors are going to force him into bankruptcy to get their money.

Jermaine Dupri's Financial Woes Continue With Foreclosure On His Mansion

Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson
Atlanta, Georgia music producer, Jermaine Dupri (Mauldin) has been having a tough time of late, with one financial disaster after another. Years ago, the IRS seized his luxury cars, for non-payment of income tax. Many thought his problems were behind him, but old habits die hard. The former hitmaker, known for producing tracks for singers such as Mariah Carey and Usher and running his now defunct subsidiary label, So So Def, has seen his fortune disappear, along with girlfriend, Janet Jackson.
Dupri's $2,500,000 home on Buckhead's Mount Paran Road, was foreclosed on by Sun Trust Bank, as he was in arrears and owes the state $500,000 in taxes. Dupri bought the home several years ago, but has lived so lavishly, he has been unable to pay his bills, among them a $17,000 monthly mortgage payment. Foreclosure was staved off at the last minute, as the house was about to be auctioned on the courthouse steps.
As a result of Dupri's spendthrift ways, which he learned from his dad, music executive, Michael Mauldin, his record label and restaurant were unceremoniously closed, with employees owed wages. They discovered he was out of business, due to locked doors and disconnected phone lines. Dupri should have used discretion and common decency, in formally telling them what had transpired.
Dupri was also fired from his job at Island/Def Jam, further removing another source of income. He was blamed for a number of flops at the label, as at the end of the day, he is not a true executive. He just likes to spend money and pretend he knows what he is doing.

Dupri began taking jobs as a DJ, a big step down for him and his ego, yet ironically could not keep himself out of trouble, as he managed to impregnate a stripper, who told all and effectively ended his relationship with Jackson. This marked another child support check he could no longer afford.
The drug taking, alcoholic, has a sordid, detailed history of negative dealings with industry writers, producers and video directors. Dupri is a notorious thief, as is his dad. The two have brazenly stolen copyrighted material from known and unknown artists and writers alike. His victims have been adults and minors, which is disgraceful. You reap what you sow.
In trying to impress Jackson, he went to great extremes, running up substantial tabs that firmly placed him further in debt, with no real income to repay his financial obligations. Jackson recently dumped him for an billionaire Arab, after Dupri's stripper infidelity was discovered.
Jackson also blames Dupri for the failure of her past few albums, as he had a hand in putting them together. The fact of the matter is, Dupri has always been an overrated producer, who heavily relies on the talents of lesser known writers to prop him up, many of whom were robbed. This coupled with Dupri's wild spending, was bound to cause a catastrophe.

Janet jackson

Everyone saw her "wardrobe malfunction" during Super Bowl XXXVIII, but ironically, no one knew about the dirty tattoo just below her bikini line of Mickey and Minnie Mouse engaged in a sex act. (No joke!) Can you imagine the controversy that a closeup on that would have caused? Especially with the Disney people!
The Grammy Award-winning singer and actress has several other tattoos, including an Akan symbol called a sankofa on her wrist, and a kanji on the back of her neck.
Janet Jackson has also been known to wear nipple jewelry. You may have seen some of it.
