His act caught the attention of producers Bernie Brillstein and Russell Simmons, who signed him as a guest star of HBO's "Def Comedy Jam." His Showtime comedy special "Booty Call" became one of the network's top-rated specials. Bellamy then hosted "MTV Jams" for five years.

As the voice of Skeeter in Nickelodeon's action-comedy series "Cousin Skeeter," Bellamy was nominated for a 2000 NAACP Image Award. He has starred in several films, including "The Brothers," "Any Given Sunday" and "How To Be a Player."
