In the same year, The Underdogs duo had also produced the song “Never Gonna Break My Faith”, performed by Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige, as a part of the original soundtrack of “Bobby” – historical drama directed by Emilio Estevez with Anthony Hopkins, Sharon Stone and Demi Moore in the main roles.

When it comes to his personal life, Damon Thomas married Kim Kardashian in 2000, when she was just 20 years old. After four years of marriage, she filed for divorce on the alleged basis of emotional and physical abuse accusations, but Damon’s counter-accusations were that Kim is a ‘plastic surgery-loving ‘fame whore’ – unsuprisingly, the couple split in 2004. In 2010, a former maid of the couple sued both of them for not paying her rendered services.
In 2012, Damon Thomas filed for bankruptcy, as his respectable net worth of $45 million had been reduced to just $1 million.
