Jermaine Preyan is an American rapper and label executive for Young Money Records that is better known by his stage name, Mack Maine.
Hip Hop Career
Mack Maine was born in the city of New Orleans, located in the state of Louisiana. He is credited with being one of the figures that put the Southern style of rap on the national stage.
Mack is the president and CEO of Young Money Records. Mack is also the co-founder of Sooth Soul Records as well as Kush Entertainment.
Westword asked Mack if he still actively rapped after he became an executive, “Nah. I don't really do that no more; it don't pay the bills, dawg. I can still do it; it's like fingers, hard to lose ... like limbs! It's still that, but that's not what I do, you know? I make songs. I still can freestyle. I play around with that, and I'm on the business side too. I get my President on, and I get my exec on around here. I got Kush Entertainment; that's for DVDs. We got like three DVDs out right now, and I started Soothe Ya Soul Music and that's my label. That's NOT all hip hop. Nah. It's like...TALENT. All around talent. Even on Young Money all the artists, sing, rap -- they are multi-talented. So it's not just about hip hop.”
Mack described the scene when Hurricane Katrina hit his hometown, “I left New Orleans the night before Katrina, so I was in Houston. I was actually at Wayne's spot, and I thought I was just like leaving for two days. Usually, I stay for Hurricane warnings, and what happens is the lights go out, and I'd be sitting in the dark can't do nothin. So, I went to Houston. Everybody from New Orleans usually go out there to party. So I left everything. I just really brought two days of clothes. Left money, left pets, left a house, left a truck, left a car, left a lot of stuff so ... all materialistic stuff. None of my people died, so I been able to bounce back from that about ten times. Never really have gone back to New Orleans being the same. We thought it was gonna be one of them tropical storms passing, [the hurricane] would turn-off and we catch the light rains or heavy rain or whatever.”
Baby Mama Drama
Mack Maine went through a bit of baby mama drama when news broke of a certain woman who claimed to be the mother of his son. When the woman made the claim, the boy was already seven years old. The woman went public and brought the story to the media claiming that Mack neglects his child emotionally is a bad man and father. She claimed that he does not pay attention to her or the son. She painted a picture of an unfit father that never lifted a finger to support his family. The woman claimed that her name was Necole Bitchie and she was Mack’s ex-girlfriend and the mother of his unwanted child.
She stated that Mack Maine cannot be a good husband since there was a time that he used to send her five hundred dollars but eventually stopped. She said that he made an excused and claimed that he was broke but the child support papers proved that he was making one hundred thousand dollars per month. She said that the number in the court papers weren't even accurate and she was sure that he was making even more. She cited the papers as proof that Mack Maine was the father of her child and that the media should not believe his denials. She thought it was disgusting that a man would neglect a child and act like hey didn’t exist. Some people called her a liar and said that she was just using this publicity stunt because she was jealous and wanted to get back with Mack. Necole fought back and she said she had no desire for Mack and just wanted to be rightfully compensated so that she could provide a reasonable living for their son.

Mack defended himself and painted himself as an angel, claiming that he is a family oriented man and would never even think of walking out of his child’s life. He said that he never had a relationship with Necole and didn’t understand why she was making up the story. His management was more blunt and said that Mack shouldn’t have to deal with allegations of a crazy gold digger.
Mack was unable to stick to his story when Necole Bitchie produced some photos showing her together with him and holding the baby. He did not talk about that snap but instead he remained quiet when he was questioned about the photos. He was advised to take an approach of not commenting because he was exposed. Anything he said would just make things worse.
Mack had a reputation of always being a good guy but that was instantly shattered when Necole was proven to be right. Few people believed his story and the public lost faith in him. People started to wonder if it was actually true that she was indeed his former lover and that child was his.
He continued to deny the allegations and he was never forced to pay child support. His fans were hurt by him because they didn’t understand how a father could stay away from his child for seven years, without acknowledging his baby. Prior to the drama, he had a very good reputation in the hip hop industry and was treated with respect and was loved by all. He had a long road in front of him as he tried to rebuild his favorable reputation.
Personal Life
Mack has one children with Erin Robertson. He doesn’t talk much about his previous relationships or dates that he may have had. He likes to keep his life private and away from the public eye.
His personal life is quite interesting as a leader in the hip hop industry. He has seen it all and experienced things in life that people can only dream of. His current net worth is eleven million dollars.
