Amina was born into a very music oriented family and was influenced by her father, a hobby jazz musician as well as her mother, who was a fan of Motown music. At the young age of six, she joined a classical choir and started doing musicals and tours with a few gospel groups and pop acts. She eventually fell in love with song-writing and went on to form the group Black Buddafly which included her two sisters, Safietou “Jazz” Schmahl and Sophie Schmahl. They clinched a record deal with BMG Germany and released the single entitled “Choyce”. Eventually the group decided to move to New York to chase after their dreams, and in 2002, they were noticed by producer Orin Ennis and were subsequently signed by Def Jam Records. The group released two singles “Rock-A-Bye” and “Bad Girl ft. Fabolous”, but since the songs were only moderately successful, they were eventually released in 2007, and in 2008 they went to sign with MBK Records, only to part ways in 2010. They released two mix-tapes before going their separate ways.
Eventually, Amina became part of “Love & Hip Hop: New York”, and was cast alongside Tara Wallace and Erica Jean. The show follows several women involved in the hip hop scene whether as artists or as girlfriends/wives of rappers and hip hop musicians. In the show, she developed a relationship with rapper Peter Gunz which proved to be controversial, especially since he was living with long term partner Tara and their two sons. Of course the situation became one of the main focuses of the show, especially as Amina became pregnant with Peter’s child and the two soon married.
Aside from the information about a few of Amina’s exploits in her music career, not much is known about her personal life. She is married to Peter Gunz though the relationship remains the center of rumor and controversy. It has been reported that Peter is cheating on Amina with past girlfriend Tara Wallace and Tara has said that she is okay with the current situation. Aside from this, Amina spends most of her time writing songs and making music. She loves playing the piano and enjoys learning the ins and outs of music production.

After few years of hard work, Ben Stein decided to try himself in acting too, but before starting to get roles he became a Hollywood consultant.

Mikey Teutul Net Worth
Michael Joseph was born 26 November 1978, in Montgomery, New York State USA, and widely known as Mikey Teutul, is a reality television personality, the youngest son of Orange County Choppers founder Paul Teutul, Sr. Mikey began his working life at 14, in the family business.
So just how rich is Mikey Teutul, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Mikey has a net worth of over $3 million dollars, largely earned by working at his father’s and older brother Paul Jr,’s company Orange County Choppers (OCC), and Orange County Iron Works, and through his TV appearances.
Mikey Teutul Net Worth $3 Million
Little is known of Mikey’s early life or education – it seems to have always revolved around the family business. Helping out his family in his teens, theoretically he worked as Assistant General Manager. but his main duties were to answer ‘phones, and clear-up and take out the trash. He was on rare occasions given the chance to build bikes, until he was competent to build his own. He also attended events for promoting OCC.
In 2002, the family was invited to take part in a reality show, Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper”, and subsequently “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior”, in the course of which the youngest son was thrown out of the business – the middle son is Daniel, and younger sister Cristin. The reason for Mikey’s exclusion was that Mikey tried to be a mediator between his father and his brother, but his father seemed to be offended that his younger son did not take his side, and so threw him out of the business. During the filming of the show, Mikey was somethoing of a comedy relief to his father’s workers, and that comedy streak helped gain him popularity in TV shows. Mikey then joined his brother’s post-OCC venture, -Paul Jr Designs – along with most of their father’s employees; obviously the work atmosphere with Paul Teutul, Sr. was not a particularly happy one. Mikey’s eldest brother Paul Jr. was the former chief fabricator of OCC.
So actually the main source of Mikey Teutul’s wealth is not his father’s business, but the shows he eventually took part in. These have included ‘The Late Show with David Letterman”, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, and also “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. The shows became very popular and Mikey’s appearances earned him a significant amount of money. To say the least, the family drama did not go without consequences – according to rumours, Mikey Teutul was suffering from an addiction problem, and consequently admitted himself to rehab, and managed to overcome the bad habits which were apparently hindering his progress in life, obviously including business.
In his life away from the businesses already referred to and the limelight of TV, Michael loves to paint, and is apparently respected for his productions, as he opened “The Wolfgang Gallery” gallery in Montgomery, New York, where he has sold or auctioned his paintings, adding somewhat to is net worth, although rumours suggest that the gallery may now be closed. Most recently, Mikey is now trying to enter the market under the moniker LLC FarQueue Products with his line of gourmet pasta sauces. Good luck, Mikey!
In his less-than-private personal life, Mikey is apparently still single – there aren’t even any rumours of romantic liaisons.
