1. Tyrese Gibson

We haven’t heard much from Black Ty since then.
2. Lil Kim

3. Teiarra Mari
Source:GettyTeiarra Mari is still around, as a Love & Hip Hop star. But she was suppose to be bigger than Rihanna when Jay-Z first signed her to The Roc. We all know how that turned out.
4. Nicki Minaj
Source:GettyIf we’re gonna talk about Kim’s fall from grace, we have to acknowledge the Barbie elephant in the room. Everyone who’s anyone realizes that Nicki is going through some changes right now and is not at all the star she use to be. Folks use to get excited to see what Minaj would wear or what she had to say — but now not so much.
5. Kenyon Martin

He was the first overall pick in the 2000 NBA Draft, buts since retiring in 2015 — Kenyon hasn’t been in the spotlight to much. Nowadays, his son Kenyon Jr. is the star of the family.
6. Raven Symone

7. Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson

8. Stacey Dash

9. Wesley Snipes
Source:GettyWesley use to be THAT BOY in movies, regardless of the film’s genre. But after some issues with the IRS, Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison for willful failure to file federal income tax returns. He’s been in films like Chiraq since then, but he may never match the success of Blade ever again.
10. Terrell Owens

After a knee injury and surgery in 2012, Owens wanted to get back in the League, but not one NFL team would sign him.
11. Aaron Hernandez

12. Marques Houston
