Shawty Lo

Jermaine Jackson
Forget the Jackson 5! Jermaine Jackson is starting a new group called the Jackson 8 or is that Jackson 9? Though we have lost count of how many kids this celebrity dad has, we do know he has enough kids to start a band of his own. Perhaps that was his plan all along?
El Debarge
El Debarge, who also comes from a famous musical family, has 12 kids in all! The singer admitted to fathering 12 kids in a 2010 Jet magazine interview. El, you may be last on our list, but you certainly don’t have the least kids!
