Rapper-turned-mayoral candidate Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell is having a little trouble getting funds for his campaign to run for mayor of Miami.

Amid reports that he only raised $250 at his last fundraiser, Campbell is setting the record straight but revealing that he is in need of financial support for his campaign race.

"Recent reports online and on the radio claim that I raised 'only' $250 during a fundraiser in support of my current bid for Mayor of Miami-Dade County. These reports are wrong, but not by a lot," Campbell said in a statement to the BoomBox. "My campaign is not rolling in dough. There are no lobbyists or special interest groups supporting me. My campaign runs on donations from everyday people of $5 dollars at a time."
