The days of P-Poppin’ and sex-fueled free-for-alls with strippers have come back to haunt Uncle Luke.

In case you’ve been living under a bridge for the past month, the former 2 Live Crew rapper –- whose government name is Luther Campbell –- has launched an aggressive campaign to become the next mayor of Miami. It seems, however, the Uncle Luke’s bid for the key to the city just isn’t receiving ample financial backing from his fellow South Beachers. A Luke-hosted fundraiser in North Bay Village this week raised a measly $250 for the cause, according to local reports. He’d hoped to raise at least $5,000 by charging $25 to $500 per patron at the event.

Ouch!

The Miami-Dade County native is already lagging behind his political opponents, Hip-Hop Wired said this week. Fellow mayoral candidate Jose “Pepe” Cancio has already raised $160,000, Carlos Gimenez’s reported raising about $230,000, Marcelo Llorente already pocketed $370,000, and donors have graced Julio Robaina’s campaign with over $600,000.

“Doo Doo Brown” and phrase like “Face Down, Ass Up” could become catchphrases around the Miami Mayor’s Mansion, if former 2 Live Crew frontman Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell gets his way.

The sex-charged hip-hopster has announced that he’s officially running for Mayor of Miami-Dade, Florida — the sunny city where he grew up and made a splash with his raunchy dance hits, several of which were censored back in the early ’90s. Though if elected, Campbell faces tough opposition due to his rapper past, he’s determined to focus on bringing job creation, affordable housing, and lower taxes to Miami.

And in one move that’s sure to be a miss with the exotic dancers who frequented his Luke’s Freak Show, he wants to tax strippers.

Here’s what he had to say about that: “Even though all my stripper friends are gonna be mad at me, I think we can stimulate the economy with a tax on strippers. They make all this money and don’t pay taxes. I’d take that cash and put it into a fund where it supports youth athletics for girls, like cheerleading or softball. Or it can go to help pay for existing little girls programs that are struggling to get government assistance.”

Luke Campbell wed Kristin Thompson in a ceremony at the Saint Luke Community Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas on Saturday.

Iconic hip hop beatboxer Doug E. Fresh and legendary soul songstress Betty Wright provided entertainment during a reception at the Opus Grand Ballroom at Hotel Palomar.

“I waited 47 years to find a special woman and have found that in Kristin,” Luke said in a statement Thursday. “I never knew that I could feel love on another level like this until I met her, and I am now honored to call her my wife.”

The couple’s new reality show Luke’s Parental Advisory premieres August 4 at 10 p.m. on VH1. The wedding will be featured on the season finale in September.

Miami-sound hip hop pioneer Luke will join the VH1 Celebreality family with the debut of his new reality show, Luke’s Parental Advisory, premiering Aug. 4 at 10:30 p.m. on VH1. The series follows the day-to-day adventures of Luther “Luke” Campbell” as he runs his adult business Luke Entertainment Group and plans his wedding to fiancee Kristin.

Luther “Luke” Campbell has landed his own VH1 reality show. Luke will debut in Parental Advisory in July. The sixty-minute series will follow the hip-hop pioneer and Miami native’s parallel lives as a strict family man and a force to be reckoned with in the adult industry.

“Parental Advisory showcases the diversity in my life,” Luke explains. “One day I am with my kids, the next day I am in the office auditioning ‘Luke Girls’ and the next day I might be out on the road.”
