Not long after Jagged Edge and Kris Kross went platinum, J.D. found a brash and attractive young female Chicago singer named Da Brat. She would become the first female rapper to ever sell one million copies, mostly off the success of the smash hit “Funkafied.” This success allowed him to collaborate with Boys to Men and R&B superstars Luther Vandross and Baby Face. At 24, Dupri had become a multimillionare and one of the most sought-after producers and hit makers in pop music. Since the formation of So So Def Recordings it has earned over twenty gold and platinum records, according to celebritynetworth.com.
