Celebrity Kickstarter Campaigns — Who Failed And Who Succeeded?
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels was one-third of the groundbreaking and trailblazing hip-hop group Run DMC but after achieving success in the 80’s, he decided to rebrand himself as a superhero. McDaniels was desperate to get into the graphic comic book business and he was featured as the hip-hop superhero in an alternate universe in his own comic book. The legendary rapper was looking to raise $100,000 to get his idea off of the ground but the campaign ended when he couldn’t even raise six grand.
