<p>Since the age of 12, Ryan Washington knew that he wanted to help those around him and be a voice for people in his community.<span id="more-112403"></span> Ryan started his work through the Boys &amp; Girls Club, becoming an active member in &#8216;Keystone&#8217;, a program aimed at emphasizing the views of teens.</p>
<p>Ryan saw many problems in the community centering on public safety, education, and employment, which inspired him to take his ideas to the city government. Ryan joined the DC Youth Advisory Council and eventually went on to be Chairman, working with the Mayor and other city officials to directly combat the problems he brought awareness to.</p>
<p>The victory and work of President Obama sparked Ryan&#8217;s interest even further, encouraging him to take an extra step towards becoming an impactful youth advocate. Ryan currently serves as the 54th Youth Mayor of the District of Columbia. He was elected by youth who reside in DC to serve as the 54th Youth Mayor of the District of Columbia. As Youth Mayor, Ryan represents 36,000 young people and is the only &#8216;Youth Mayor&#8217; in the country. He has since then worked with the Mayor to implement many laws, including DC&#8217;s first &#8216;Anti-Bullying&#8217; legislation.</p>
<p>Since becoming Youth Mayor, Ryan has deepened his commitment to politics and civic engagement, being awarded &#8216;Youth of the Year&#8217; for the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, as well as being appointed as a United States Senate Page by Senator Harry Reid. Ryan has said he would like to go into either politics or law when he gets older.</p>

<p>&#8220;Dancing With the Stars&#8221; may be over for Zendaya, but she&#8217;s still showing off all her new dance moves for fans. The young actress and her &#8220;DWTS&#8221; partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, appeared on &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; in New York City on May 22nd.</p>
<p>Zendaya and Val celebrated their 2nd place victory on &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; and did a special dance number just for the show. “Started from the bottom now we here…” the Disney star <a href="https://twitter.com/zendaya" target="_blank">tweeted </a>while on the plane to New York.</p>

<p>Who ever said you couldn&#8217;t have your cake and eat it too? Despite some claims that being a celebrity requires selfishness and settling for a small family, these musical dads are finding a way to make it big while rearing a lot of kids in the right direction.<span id="more-125809"></span> Check out these celeb fathers who have found a way to be successful in the music industry and have a big family at home.</p>
<p><strong>Rohan Marley</strong></p>
<p>Free love and 7 kids. Rohan, who is an occasional <em>singer</em> and former Canadian Football player, has five by singer Lauryn Hill and two by estranged wife Geraldine Khawly.</p>
<p><strong>Sean Diddy Combs</strong></p>
<p>Diddy does everything big, especially when it comes to family. The Hip-Hop mogul has four kids by Kim Porter, including twins D&#8217;Lila and Jessie, and two by Misa Hylton-Brim and Sarah Chapman.</p>
<p><strong>Master P</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s Cymphonique, Romeo, and six others with unique names. Only Master P, only Master P.</p>
<p><strong>Flavor Flav</strong></p>
<p>Flavor has 7 kids in total, including one child, Karma, with his fiancee.</p>
<p><strong>Shawty Lo</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing low about Shawty who has 10 kids in total. The rapper was set to have a reality show called &#8216;All My Babies&#8217; Mamas&#8217; air on the Oxygen channel but the show was cancelled due to controversy surrounding its alleged stereotypical nature of African American families.</p>
<p><strong>T.I. </strong></p>
<p>The rap star and author parents six kids with wife Tameka &#8216;Tiny&#8217; Harris. All six of the Harris kids are featured on the family&#8217;s reality show, &#8216;T.I. &amp; Tiny: The Family Hustle.&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>Ginuwine</strong></p>
<p>Ginuwine genuinely has nine kids including two with wife Tonya Lumpkin a.k.a. Sole.</p>
<p><strong>Rev Run Simmons</strong></p>
<p>Reverend Run Simmons gives thanks daily for his large family. The rapper turned reverend has 6 kids in total.</p>
<p><strong>Jermaine Jackson</strong></p>
<p>Forget the Jackson 5! Jermaine Jackson is starting a new group called the Jackson 8 or is that Jackson 9? Though we have lost count of how many kids this celebrity dad has, we do know he has enough kids to start a band of his own. Perhaps that was his plan all along?</p>
<p><strong>El Debarge</strong></p>
<p>El Debarge, who also comes from a famous musical family, has 12 kids in all! The singer admitted to fathering 12 kids in a 2010 <a href="http://www.eurweb.com/2010/12/el-debarge-discusses-his-12-children-in-jet/" target="_blank">Jet magazine interview</a>. El, you may be last on our list, but you certainly don&#8217;t have the least kids!</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The List&#8221; is a new segment on Blackcelebkids.com. Stay tuned for more!</em></p>
<p><strong>Did we forget anyone on &#8220;The List&#8221;? Please feel free to name some your favorite musical dads in the commenting section.</strong></p>
