8 Inspiring Celebrity Career Comebacks
MC Hammer
MC Hammer was a phenomenon in the late 80s and early 90s with his incredible dance moves and infectious hits such as “U Can’t Touch This” and “Pray.” But his meteoric rise was soon followed by a legendary fall. Saddled with a $13 million debt, he filed for bankruptcy in the mid-1990s. Now, the former rapper, whose birth name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, has returned to the music industry as an entrepreneur. He is the chief strategy officer of the new website DanceJam.com, which started with $1 million in seed money. He also is launching a business venture in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA).
