Corny Brothas: Celebrity Men Who Fuel The Cornball Industry

- By

Nick Cannon

Do you remember the lyrics to Nick Cannon’s Gigolo single of 2003? Let me remind you:

“I’m a gigolo, spending lot’s a dough
You can tell the way wide-body, sitting on vogues
And how I’m shining, wit the fresh, fresh clothes
Always surrounded, by so many (HO!)”

Granted, R.Kelly sang the chorus of Cannon’s debut single, but Cannon himself owned all the corny appeal of the song’s ill-advised pomposity. Maybe he was following in the footsteps of the equally corny music career of his mentor Will Smith. Like so many of our corny brothas, Cannon rode his cheesiness to the bank by producing a string of hit movies, shows and marrying up.
