Luke Video Features Alleged Murderers

(5/1/00, 5 p.m. ET) - An explicit mail-order video from Luther Campbell, better known to rap aficionados as both Luke and Uncle Luke, features two alleged murderers, according to published reports.

Luke's Freak Show: Cancun 1999 features Ray Lewis and Joseph Sweeting watching party guest perform sex acts for money. Lewis, Sweeting, and a third man were charged with murder in the stabbing deaths of two men after this year's Super Bowl. The defense of Lewis, a linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, may now have to be altered since his attorneys were going to portray him as a family man who hardly knew Sweeting. Campbell said that he is a friend of both Lewis and Sweeting.

Campbell will be releasing his debut feature film, Luke's Freak Fest 2000, on BET's pay-per-view network in May. The movie centers on a three-day beach party in Miami's vibrant South Beach area. Campbell, who executive produced the movie, featured such artists as Big Punisher, Krayzie Bone, Goodie Mob, 95 South, and himself on the soundtrack, which is in stores now.
