Jermaine Dupri (born 23 September 1972) is an American record producer, songwriter, and rapper whose influence on hip-hop and R&B spans more than three decades. He rose to prominence in the early ’90s, launching the careers of acts like Kris Kross and Xscape before becoming the mastermind behind hits for Usher, Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson. As founder of So So Def Recordings, Dupri cemented his legacy as one of music’s most prolific hitmakers, his signature sound shaping the charts and defining an era of Atlanta’s dominance in popular music.

Dupri’s style is sleek, contemporary, and always performance-ready, often blending luxury streetwear with tailored flair. Accessories are central to his look, and eyewear in particular has become a signature of his persona. He favours bold, oversized frames, from tinted aviators to statement square silhouettes that highlight his sharp aesthetic. Dupri has been spotted in eyewear from Saint Laurent, Ray-Ban, and Cartier—brands whose bold, opulent designs mirror his larger-than-life presence in the music industry. His eyewear choices reflect the same qualities as his production: stylish, confident, and undeniably iconic.
