Pretty Ricky

Pretty Ricky is an American R&B/hip hop group originating from Miami, Florida. The group originally consisted of 2 brothers, Diamond (Baby Blue) Smith, Spectacular Smith, their cousin Corey (Slick 'Em) Mathis, and an unrelated member, Marcus (Pleasure P) Cooper. Pleasure P was the group's main singer, while the other three members performed as rappers. After he departed in 2007 to embark on a solo career, the group shuffled through several replacement vocalists. The name "Pretty Ricky" was taken from a character in the sitcom Martin. The group enjoyed its biggest success in the mid-2000s with their gold-selling albums Bluestars and Late Night Special, and the platinum singles "Grind With Me" and "On the Hotline". Baby Blue, who appears on the show Love & Hip Hop: Miami, pleaded guilty to participating in a scheme to file at least 79 fraudulent loan applications seeking more than $24 million in forgivable PPP loans. Baby Blue used the loan proceeds to make "luxury purchases", including a Ferrari for $96,000.
