On a recent episode of Kid 'n Play's Fun House podcast, guest Kid Capri discussed his displeasure with his voice being used on the Martin theme song without his permission. The famous "Martiiiin" chant originated on HBO's Def Comedy Jam, and Kid Capri says that it was sampled and used without his approval.

"If it was about money, I would have gotten at him awhile ago," Kid Capri explained. "Anybody that knows me, knows that's [my voice]. I believe that Martin overstepped his boundaries by taking something that belongs to me without getting my permission. They took my property, and they have everybody going around saying 'Martiiiin'."

Kid Capri says that Martin co-star Tisha Campbell later stated on a reunion show that it was Cole's voice in the theme song. "On the reunion Martin said it wasn't me, and that's a smack in the face and blatant disrespect. I have a problem with it. For 30 years, on eight different networks my voice was used. Fox has a problem, HBO has a problem, and Martin has a problem."

Kid Capri also revealed how he started on HBO's Def Comedy Jam. "I was doing an after party for LL COOL J when he was at The Garden, and Russell Simmons and Rob Sumner approached me about doing the show," he explained. Kid Capri said further that he didn't initially understand how a DJ would fit into a comedy show.

"I was like, 'A DJ at a comedy show?'. But this was Russell, so I stopped questioning it, its HBO." Even after rave reviews of the first season, he says that he didn't realize just how big the show was. "It wasn't until the very first live show (after the televised first season) that I saw how big it was," he shared. "It was pandemonium every night."
