MC Hammer Confirms Whitney Houston’s Father Wanted Him to Marry the Singer

MC Hammer

*MC Hammer and wife Stephanie reportedly met at a church revival meeting over thirty years ago, and it was love at first sight. The two have been married since December 21, 1985 and share five children together.

Back in 2012, it was revealed that Whitney Houston’s late father encouraged Hammer to marry the singer in 1991.

As reported by blackdoctor.org, Hammer confirmed that while at Super Bowl XXV, where Houston performed  The Star-Spangled Banner, her father John attempted to play match maker.

“Whitney’s dad pulled me and Whitney in a room and said you know Hammer, you should really consider marrying Whitney. And, I said, I’d love to but I’m already married.” Hammer revealed, adding, “I love my wife dearly but, I always laughed about that. Always a big fan of Whitney. I loved Whitney and miss her dearly.”

At the time, Hammer and his wife had celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary. The couple is still going strong 35 years later.

“You have wealth when you have a family. Family is all that I need,” said Hammer.  

“When he’s home, he’s a little more reserved,” Stephanie shared. 

“There’s nothing that comes across in the family that he’s not involved in,” she added. 

“People have to understand that I started working when I was 8 years old for the Oakland Raiders until I was 18. So way before I became MC Hammer, I was generating revenue and had four houses and two Porsches. Therefore, making money has never been a challenge for me because…I’m a hard worker and creator. I don’t operate from a losing mentality.”

“Some people ask me sometimes, would I go back and change things?” he said. “They are flabbergasted by my answer. My real, true answer is I wouldn’t change one thing. I really believe in the butterfly effect, he explained. “Meaning that if I change one thing, everything else changes. I lose the kids I have now. I lose the relationships I have now. I lose the peace I have now. So I’m very happy with my decision.”

Meanwhile, did y’all know Hammer owns a piece of Twitter?

In a recent discussion with Dame Dash on his Boss Talk series, rapper Chamillionaire explained how MC Hammer is frustrated with rappers not taking his advice on investing their money.

Chamillionaire revealed: “He was like, ‘I give the game about these tech companies to all these artists and they don’t be getting it. They be like, ‘Pay me to tweet.’ Meanwhile, he owns a piece of Twitter.”

After Dash makes reference to folks assuming that Hammer is broke, Chamillionaire noted: “Most of the people that complain about people or y’all bad about successful people, they won’t even accomplish like one percent of that in their lives.”

“People that will never ever [have] a smash hit single and if somebody gets one they’ll be like. ‘Uh oh you only have one.’”
