My prayers go out to you Chris hope for a speedy recovery!!!

I hope he’s okay.

Notice the maturity! i.e. no 1st!

I was at the scene and it was not pretty.

May God bless him and provide he and his family the strength to move on from this accident.

He will certainly be in my prayers. I was in a major accident a few years ago, and am still struggling with the effects.

Blessings from the Most High to this brother, please keep him strong.

I’ll keep him in my prayers

It hurts to see innocent people hurt by these idiots. Was watching the news earlier about a drunk dude who killed a mother and her four kids. One of the kids was 8 weeks old. The car was ripped apart and the baby was thrown into the middle of the street. The idiot who did this got a SCRATCH ON HIS CHIN. Seriously, if anyone feels like playing with their lives, go stick a gun to your own head and keep other people out of it.

I hope his minister boyfriend is praying at his bedside. He DID leave his wife for her.

If yall didn’t know Rev. Martin is a minister somewhere in the Carolinas according to an interview I heard a few years back. Stay up Play. We love you bro.

Wow for real you feel the need to air this man’s dirty laundry at a time like this. Well obviously smartie.

Co-sign Fuzzy! I was thinking the same thing! This ain’t the time for that.

@GorgeousBlackWomen

It’s true…they are never hurt.

Dayum….I hope he’ll be ok.

I’ll be praying for you Play!!!!

I had no idea he was still alive!! well hope he stays that way

Oh my. I hadn’t heard about this at all. I hope he’s okay. That is my baby! xoxo Chris!

I’m confused by Smartie’s comment….but aside from Play being the fine one and my fav of the duo, I am praying he recovers quickly.

Hmmmmm….Shari Headley says he hasn’t paid child support in YEARS and hasn’t attempted to see their baby.

Neither here nor there….hope he is okay

I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

well “baby” no more

but yeah:

Martin, 38, was arraigned in federal court in Central Islip, NY, on charges that he failed to pay $32,277 in child support to his former wife, actress Shari Headley.

The couple was married two years and have a son, Skyler, age 7.

Headley said Martin has had no contact with his son since the couple divorced in 1995. She told the Newsday newspaper Martin, who now lives in Birmingham, AL, has failed to pay most of the child support a Nassau County court ordered. If convicted, he faces up to 5 years in prison.

assholes and prayers?

interesting

Shari Headley

^^^^the chick in coming to america…..had no clue they was married and where he gon get 30g’s from…..he still got paper or what….

that was 2001…i guess it had accrued

Dammit another deadbeat dad. Kick rocks, Play!! But I do love you though…so get better.

get well soon

I always hear about PLAY – he goes alot of plays & comes to Houston quite a few times a year.

Man House party is a classic. I met him and Kid when I was about 14 or 15 they both were really cool dudes

I actually met Shari Headley about 2 months ago at the LA auto show. Despite just having foot surgery, she brought her son to the show because he likes to go every year. She was VERY nice and her son seems to be extremely intelligent. It was a pleasant encounter. I’m sure she would appreciate a check from Chris, but she seems raising her son just fine without him. I’m glad that Chris is OK, but hopefully this is a wakeup call that tomorrow is never promised so go visit your son.

That’s Play? I was like, ‘who is this handsome young brother and what is his fine self up to?’

I hope Play has a speedy recovery. This whole story is sad, and is why I didn’t really like what was going down with the Brandy case — or with Halle Berry’s hit and run many years ago. People die from hit and runs. But this:

“His car was hit by a mortally wounded driver who was fleeing the police. The fugitive was shot by officers following a home invasion with two other suspects.”

There’s something more to this story. Was the fugitive shot before or after he was in the car? Why were three people in a home invasion shooting at the cops in the first place? If he was being shot, how was he able to escape the cops?

I hope Christopher lives, and is well in body and mind.

I hope he’s going to be ok. This is what happens when high speed chases are carried out without regard for the innocent drivers and pedestrians going about their business.

I hope all is well with Play…still looking good I see.

The real tragedy is that the cops can’t get it through their heads that if you chase people someone is going to get killed. It happens every time!!!!!

Oh how sad. I hope he pulls through okay.

i hope he gets better

Too bad this won’t make news anywhere else.

And I just found every issue (9) of Kid N Play’s comic book (based on the cartoon show)and two of thier cds.

I even heard there was talk of House Party 4.

Hoping for the best

i hope he is okay. this happened where i live in durham nc. he is a professor here at north carolina central university. he instructs different classes concerning music and the entertainment business.

i used to have the biggest crush. i love you play. recover well and soon please. i know u will.

switch.

Switch.

SWITCH!

hope he pulls through…

dawg stay strong, i’ma keep u in my prayers

i hope he is alright

i wish him well

He is a minister in Durham NC, and nobody in Durham knew he was the one hit because they kept his name out the news for privacy reasons.

@ SMARTIE….YOU ARE A VERY SMALL SAD SAD HUMAN!

NEXT TIME ENGAGE YOUR BRAIN IN THOUGHT BEFORE SPEAKING..ARE YOU REALLY THAT HARD UP FOR GOSSIP?

AS FOR THE SUBJECT MATTER ,I SHALL KEEP THIS GENTLEMAN AND HIS FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS

this just confirmed my belief

that if you run from the cops in a wild chase

they reserve the right to shoot your car and you

TO DEATH

Well he was released from the hospital the same night of the accident. It was in the paper, this morning.

Following the shooting, the Taurus, apparently driven by a wounded Aldamo, fled down Holloway to Morgan Street and collided with an SUV that flipped and collided with a Honda. Two people who were in the SUV — including Christopher Martin of the late 80s, early 90s rap duo Kid n Play — were treated at the hospital and released.

He is blessed he has changed his life and has a new company

read more about him on http://www.centerstagemag.com

He is a hiphop pioneer. This is when music was good.When there was Chubb Rock, MC Lyte, Heavy D, KRS One

Thank God Kanye and Common and a few others are still here to HELP save Hip Hop.

In the 90′s everyone who was hip to pop culture knew of the dynamic duo, Kid (Christopher Reid) N Play (Christopher Martin). Along with the fame from musical success on their own with unbeatable classics albums between 1988 and 1993, 2 Hype (1988), Kid ‘N Play’s Funhouse (1990) and Face the Nation (1991) the duo were clearly big names in the Hip-Hop culture. A pivotal moment was having gangster rap group called NWA to open for them at the height of both Martin and Reid’s career. However, for Martin, there was something missing. Successful movies such as House Party 1, 2, and 3, Class Act, as well as a Saturday morning cartoon named after the group on NBC, Martin remained unfulfilled and battled demons. “There was a point where I felt like I had been tricked… that everything that I invested so much in physically, emotionally and spiritually was for nothing, said Martin.” “I thought to myself this is not what I thought it would be, says Martin.”

“After a failed marriage to actress Shari Headley and other disappointments of the heart, Martin wised up.” “I stopped fighting, I realized my actions were a season in my life, said Martin.” “The pinnacle of all of that was done in my human strength.” “I had no passion for anything, especially the entertainment industry.” “I found myself in turmoil.” “I could no longer be willing to do anything for the fame and fortune.” “It wasn’t me, said Martin.

Martin, talks to Center Stage about HP4 with Brand Newz…listen to what he says. “HP4 with Brand Newz wants to provide an alternative to today’s mainstream media.” “We want to inspire and encourage the community.” “We are not trying to be the number one gunman in town.” “When you are number one, you have to watch your back every moment of everyday.” “I learned that with Kid ‘n Play.” “We were experiencing success and still needed to grow and that’s a great healthy challenge.” “I wasn’t challenged before, says Martin.” He makes reference to his earlier years of fame. “The venture will highlight current and future professionals, CEO’s, we’re Taking the energy and uniqueness of the story to another level.” “We are bringing various experiences of others through digital media and music to be heard and viewed with new eyes and ears, says Martin.” “I’m tired and almost lost my life because of my ignorance and of the propaganda that is broadcast today, says Martin.” Martin has developed a necessary foundation along with his business partners that our community needs. “If we can see ourselves in a better light, the world can, says Martin.” “I want people to know that they can be entertained, excited and informed with Brand Newz.” “Due to age and God’s transformation, I have grown, Train up a child in the way he should go, says Martin.” Martin did just that. He left high profile involvement of the music, acting and the ungodly lifestyle behind. Celebrity is a drug far more addictive than any illegal substance. How could he walk away? Pausing, he plainly stated: “My father was my life saver.” “I kept his words in my memory.” “He would talk to me.” Heeding the words of his father has lead Martin down another road. The road that he describes as salvation. “I was ready to pull the trigger to a snub nose 38 revolver pointed right at my head, said Martin.” “Then God ask “I gave you your time to do what you would with your life to this point.” “Will you trust and give me a turn with it”? was the question he pondered before closing the door on his path and opening a new one.

Christopher Martin has a gift of influencing and directing people on a better path. He is inspirational and uplifting to the youth. Martin has proven to the masses that there is life after reckless stardom. “I always say Hip-Hop isn’t dead, it’s probably comatose for now but not if we can show them (fans) what else we can do with it, says Martin.” Mr. Martin is seeking originality.
