K-Ci, born Cedric Renard Hailey on September 2, 1969, in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a soul/R&B singer and songwriter. He is the older brother of JoJo Hailey, who is part of the duo K-Ci and JoJo. He is also the older stepbrother of Calvin Richardson, a neo-soul singer, and a cousin to R&B artist Fantasia Barrino and Dave Hollister.
He serves as the lead vocalist for the group Jodeci and takes on the role of co-lead singer for the R&B duo K-Ci and JoJo. K-Ci’s performance style embodies a soulful rasp influenced by gospel music, largely inspired by soul musician Bobby Womack.
Womack acted as a source of inspiration for K-Ci, while also influencing another R&B artist, Sisqo (Mark Andrews) from the late 1990s group Dru Hill. However, Dru Hill and Sisqo faced initial critiques for allegedly imitating his style instead of being inspired by it for their success.
K-Ci: Personal Life
During the years 1993 to 1997, K-Ci had several high-profile relationships, particularly with R&B singer Mary J. Blige. The two collaborated on the track “I Don’t Want to Do Anything” from Mary J. Blige’s album, “What’s the 411?” Mary J. Blige frequently toured with Jodeci. Their relationship came to an end in 1997, with Mary J. Blige indicating that their separation was the result of domestic violence and alleged substance issues.
In 1993, K-Ci, together with DeVante Swing, another Jodeci member, encountered legal trouble after an incident involving a woman met at a bar. The woman later filed charges against them, claiming K-Ci sexually assaulted her while DeVante threatened her with a firearm.
In 2001, K-Ci dealt with legal complications after being accused of indecent exposure from an event at a performance in Los Angeles where he inappropriately fondled and exposed himself. K-Ci pled not guilty, paid a fine, and was sentenced to probation.
K-Ci currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he shares a luxurious residence with his mother and younger brother JoJo, a home that was featured on MTV Cribs back in 2000.
