Biography

LeBrun was born in the Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. He started working summer jobs at age 14, and graduated from high school at 18, where he met Big Daddy Kane. After graduation, he worked for several messenger companies. He worked for Airborne Express up until he and Big Daddy Kane released the album Long Live the Kane (1988).[3] In 2008, Mister Cee was featured as himself on the hip-hop radio station "102.7 The Beat" in Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV.

Mister Cee pleaded guilty to loitering for the purpose of engaging in prostitution with 20-year-old Lawrence Campbell.[4] Campbell was known on the street as Brook-Lyne.[4] In a New York Daily News article, Mister Cee was quoted as saying "And it's nothing — it's no offense to transgender women, but I only get with transgender women for one thing and one thing only, and that's for oral sex," he said. "Like I said: I never had sex with a man. I never had sex with a transgender woman."[5] In 2013, Mister Cee was arrested for allegedly agreeing to have sex with an undercover police officer who was posing as a prostitute.[4]
