Rapper and Hot 97 radio personality Angie Martinez gave birth to a nine pound, 21-inch tall baby boy, Niko Ruffin, on June 12 in New York City. The child’s father is Nokio, whose real name is Tamir Ruffin, of Dru Hill. Niko is the couple’s first child.

The New York Post reports Dru Hill’s former manager Kevin E. Peck has filed suit in Baltimore against the group claiming they’ve bilked him out of a fortune in management fees by breaking the contract they signed with him in 1996. Peck claims he discovered the group way back when they were “playing pick-up gigs for bus fare.” Dru Hill is currently managed by Ken Crear, who couldn’t be reached by the Post for comment.

Where does a straight R&B act such as Dru Hill fit in where the industry is dominated by a hybrid of funk, traditional soul, urban contemporary, neo soul, rap and hip-hop. “Wherever they can,” band manager Kenneth Crear tells the Baltimore Sun. “You don’t have to sing to sell records anymore. Dru Hill can actually sing.”

Allhiphop.com reports that in an on-air baby shower, the staff, admirers, and friends of Hot 97’s Angie Martinez wished the expectant mother well as she worked her last day at the station before her maternity leave. Martinez received many expensive gifts that filled the station. Dru Hill’s Nokio, the father of the baby, said that he was ecstatic about the prospect of having another child and being with Angie.
