(AllHipHop News) Miami rap legend Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell has denied allegations that he illegally raised money for players on the University of Miami’s football team during the 1980s and 90s. Luke’s name has been caught up in the investigation of University of Miami booster Nevin Shapiro, who is currently serving a 20 year sentence for his role in a $930 million dollar ponzi scheme.

Nevin Shapiro is accused of providing illegal benefits to at least 72 athletes from 2002 to 2010, according to an 11 month investigation conducted by Yahoo! Sports.

According to the investigation, athletes were provided with millions of dollars in cash, prostitutes and entertainment, in addition to being hosted in Shapiro’s multimillion dollar residences around Miami. Shapiro were also allegedly bounties for injuring opposing players, dolled out money for travel, and one shocking case paid for an abortion.

Shapiro claims that he agreed to cooperate with the government, after his close friends and associates abandoned him during his trial for his role in the $930 million dollar ponzi scheme. As a result, Shapiro decided to reveal the details of the unfolding scandal involving University of Miami players, coaches and trainers. According to Shapiro, he became a Booster for the University of Miami in 2001, which allowed him to raise funds for the school.

“Here’s the thing: Luther Campbell was the first uncle who took care of players before I got going,” Shapiro told investigators. “His role was diminished by the NCAA and the school, and someone needed to pick up that mantle. That someone was me. He was ‘Uncle Luke’, and I became ‘Little Luke.”

According to the investigation, over 39 players and prospective recruits received sexual favors for prostitutes courtesy of Shapiro. Campbell, who ran for mayor of Miami, and is engaged in a burgeoning political career, took to his blog on MiamiNewTimes.com to deny the allegations.

“That punk could never be me,” Luke Campbell fumed. “First of all, I have never been a UM booster. I have never given a dime to the school. I have and always will support the players and the program out of civic pride, but I never violated any NCAA rules when I was the team’s biggest fan in the 1980s. And I definitely would not have ever paid for a stripper to abort a baby allegedly fathered by a UM football player like Shapiro claims he did.”

Luke claims that the NCAA investigated him years ago, and found no wrongdoing in regards to previous claims that he paid bounties to certain Miami football players during the 1980s.

“It has never been about money for me. It’s always been about community service. That’s what being Uncle Luke is really about,” Luke snapped. “Shapiro is nothing more than a jilted groupie who f**ked over a lot people. He is an opportunistic schemer who now wants to play the role of jailhouse snitch. His word isn’t worth squat especially if Yahoo paid him for the exclusive. Nevin’s mad because he couldn’t get former players to invest in his Ponzi scheme or come to his rescue when his criminal enterprise was exposed.”

Nevin Shapiro’s claims are currently being investigated by the NCAA. Multiple players, coaches and trainers could face criminal charges over Shapiro’s allegations.
