Kevin Lamar McCall Jr. (born July 25, 1985)[1] is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. McCall is best known for his association with fellow American singer Chris Brown, to whom he signed with RCA Records in 2012. He was featured on Brown’s single the same year "Strip", which peaked at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100. He left the label in 2014 and is currently an independent artist.
Early life[]
Kevin Lamar McCall, Jr. was born in Los Angeles on July 25, 1985. He has three sisters. He went to high school in Carson, California.[2] Though he played football through most of his childhood and in college at Washington State University, he always had interest in music.[3] Kevin started singing in the church choir, and later taught himself to play piano.[4]
Personal life[]
McCall has two daughters, including one with model Eva Marcille.[5]
McCall was arrested at a courthouse in Fulton County, Georgia, in November 2019 after tussling with police before a custody hearing over his and Eva Marcille's daughter, who was 5 years old at the time. McCall allegedly entered the Justice Center in downtown Atlanta and began using profanity at police officers after security told him he was not allowed to enter. He was subsequently charged with four misdemeanors — obstruction of a law enforcement officer, terroristic threats, disorderly conduct and simple assault — as well as one felony count for second-degree criminal damage to property.
