Hip-Hop Legend Marries Longtime Girlfriend
Young MC is behind some of hip-hop's greatest tracks.
Young MC is a married man. Sources tell TMZ that the "Bust a Move" and "Know How" rapper wed his longtime girlfriend Chantal at an intimate ceremony in Scottsdale, Arizona.
For Young MC's wedding, there were other celebrity attendees. Tone Loc, C+C Music Factory's Freedom Williams, members of the band All-4-One, and several other artists were in attendance. The reception was said to be one huge dance fest.
R&B star Montell Jordan had double duty as an officiant of the ceremony and an emcee at the reception. Jordan gave a touching wedding speech and also threw in a slice of humor with a reference to his classic party anthem, "This Is How We Do It."
Jordan and his wife, Kristin, are the lead pastors of their Master Peace Church in Georgia. In an episode of Oprah's Where Are They Now?, Jordan spoke about his transition from R&B heartthrob to a man of the cloth.
"I went into ministry reluctant because I thought after the music business had come to an end, and at the top of 2011, I started working as a lead worship pastor at Victory World Church in Norcross, Ga.," he said. "My day two on the job, I got there and there's a ministry license on my desk that says 'Pastor Montell Jordan.' I'm like, 'Whoa! Somebody made a very, very bad mistake.'"
Despite his hesitations, he says ministry is where he realized he was supposed to be. "It took me months to get to a place of being comfortable being called 'pastor,'" he said. "It's a great purpose."
