Born Luther Campbell, Luke founded 2 Live Crew in the mid-1980s, and the group went on to platinum success and endless notoriety for their X-rated lyrics. The group disbanded in the early 1990s, and group member Fresh Kid Ice (born Christopher Won) died in 2017. In his VladTV interview, Brother Marquis aired out his grievances from his time in the group and leveled accusations against Luke.
"I don’t even know where you find VladTV,” Luke said. “[I] don’t know nothing about it. But all I know is when I get one too many friends texting me something that this guy said, I then have to address it because again like I said, I don’t run from no smoke."
“If VladTV is on [my live YouTube stream] looking, or whoever the producer is, you can get on here right now and we can have a conversation about it and everything that [Brother Marquis said]. But you never called me! You never had a conversation with me! You never corroborated the stories that this guy is saying, so you just let the dude say what he’s gonna say … and then you just posted it. Well, in the real world, that’s a lawsuit.”
