![]() With the exposure he’ll receive as the owner of the iAMCompton tattoo shop and the star of Black Ink Crew: Compton, we expect to see a lot more of him in the future. It’s clear Danny “KP” Kilpatrick is a star on the rise. Performing under the name iAM Compton, KP has toured with Rich Homie Quan, and his sound has even been compared to Big Sean. KP has been dropping music for years now. That’s because he is multitalented and is pursuing a career as a rapper as well. In fact, his nickname (which also happens to be the name of his tattoo shop) iAM Compton has meaning - the I stands for ink, A stands for art and the M stands for music. More than just a tattoo artistĪs he explained during the Black Ink Crew: Compton premiere, KP isn’t just a tattoo artist. His longtime girlfriend is actor Kyla Pratt, who has a long list of acting credits but most notably has worked with the Disney Channel and was the voice of Penny Proud on The Proud Family for the show’s entire run.Ī post shared by Compton shows off his work on Instagram and also likes to share pictures of the celebrities that he rubs elbows with, even if he’s not inking them at the time. KP introduced his family on Black Ink Crew: Compton. While Ceaser wasn’t exactly excited about a Compton tattoo shop, in the beginning, KP’s dedication to his city and the fact that it would be the first-ever tattoo shop in Compton were enough to persuade him. Instead, he told the Black Ink boss that his dream was to open up a tattoo shop in Compton to serve the city where he was raised in the way he knows best. KP didn’t want to open up a bougie shop in Hollywood, or Beverly Hills like Ceaser envisioned though. So when an opportunity to open up a Black Ink shop on the West Coast presented itself, it was KP that Ceaser went to in an effort to partner up. The series stars Danny “KP” Kilpatrick, who owns the iAM Compton tattoo shop where the show is filmed.Īs we saw last season on Black Ink Crew when Ceaser and his staff visited Los Angeles, he and KP knew each other from working the tattoo convention circuit. Black Ink Crew: Compton made its debut this week and is already looking like a great addition to the franchise for VH1.
