Paternity Woes Land 2 Live Luther in Jail

Uncle Luke is behind bars in Miami after failing to cough up more than $10,000 allegedly owed in child support

Luther Campbell's as deadbeat as he wants to be.

The "Me So Horny" rapper formerly known as Luke Skyywalker and leader of raunchy 1980s rap group 2 Live Crew has been jailed in Miami for failing to pay more than $10,000 in a child-support case.

Per a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade police, the 48-year-old Campbell was taken into custody at about 6 p.m. Tuesday by officers acting on a Feb. 6 court order issued by Circuit Judge Mindy Glaser.

Uncle Luke will remain locked up at Miami-Dade's pretrial detention center until he can come up with the $10,223 owed to Shakera Morgan, the woman who brought the paternity case against him.

In a 2 a.m. email sent to the Miami Herald, the hip-hopster disputed the allegation that he's a deadbeat dad, telling the paper, "The matter at issue pertained to attorney fees...my payment as to child support was and is current."
