I wanna be, I wanna be like Mike.
From the mic to a bottle, a basketball to diapers, scripts to pacifiers, or even a suit and a tie for sweats and a stroller; singers, rappers, actors, and even politicians fall in love from time to time. Whether it be for a night or for a lifetime, some of the lover boys forget to wrap it up.
Apparently sometimes there is no love, just lust, and sometimes it happens while married. Fame does not keep these men from spreading it far and wide. Some fathers deny their love child, while others face the music and step up to the plate.
