Leslie Kai Greene (born July 12, 1975), known professionally as Kai Greene and sometimes Kai L. Greene, is an American IFBB professional bodybuilder. His most recent victory was the 2013 Prague Pro. He was the first runner up (2nd place) at the 2012, 2013, and 2014 Mr. Olympia competition.
Greene was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. From the age of six, he was raised in foster care and residential treatment center placements. According to his online biography, his rapid physical growth and development drew the attention of his seventh grade English teacher, and since his behavior in school was troublesome, he was introduced to teenage bodybuilding competitions.
Greene became an enthusiastic bodybuilder, competing in the National Physique Committee (NPC) and aiming to move into the IFBB. He perceives his success in the NPC as mixed. Although he won the 1999 NPC Team Universe, he was disappointed and took a five-year break from competitions, before re-emerging in the 2004 NPC Team Universe contest, which he won again. This victory qualified him for a career as an IFBB professional bodybuilder.
Sports Illustrated is an American sports media franchise owned by Time Inc. Its self-titled magazine has over 3 million subscribers and is read by 23 million people each week, including over 18 million men. It was the first magazine with circulation over one million to win the National Magazine Award for General Excellence twice. Its swimsuit issue, which has been published since 1964, is now an annual publishing event that generates its own television shows, videos and calendars.
There were two magazines named Sports Illustrated before the current magazine began on August 16, 1954. In 1936, Stuart Scheftel created Sports Illustrated with a target market for the sportsman. He published the magazine from 1936–1938 on a monthly basis. The magazine was a life magazine size and focused on golf, tennis, and skiing with articles on the major sports. He then sold the name to Dell Publications, which released Sports Illustrated in 1949 and this version lasted 6 issues before closing. Dell's version focused on major sports (baseball, basketball, boxing) and competed on magazine racks against Sport and other monthly sports magazines. During the 1940s these magazines were monthly and they did not cover the current events because of the production schedules. There was no large-base general weekly sports magazine with a national following on actual active events. It was then that Time patriarch Henry Luce began considering whether his company should attempt to fill that gap. At the time, many believed sports was beneath the attention of serious journalism and did not think sports news could fill a weekly magazine, especially during the winter. A number of advisers to Luce, including Life magazine's Ernest Havemann, tried to kill the idea, but Luce, who was not a sports fan, decided the time was right.

Kai Greene - A Sad Story Of Superhero Kai never had a family. His mother abandoned him when he was a teenager. And from that point on, he was raised by various foster parents, moving from home to home... -- Music: - Unknown Brain - Superhero (feat. Chris Linton) [NCS Release]
Over the year's the world's perception of Kai Greene has shifted. When we first released the original Generation Iron - Kai was seen as a mysterious, intelligent, and poetic bodybuilder. A rare change from traditional bodybuilding super stars. This is still true of Kai today - though his whimsical philosophizing can sometimes be too long winded for some. That's why I wanted Kai to be a part of Generation Iron 2 - so he can cut through the crap and be honest, raw, and real while still maintaining the intelligent though process that makes Kai something special. But as I have stated in previous Iron Cinema's as of late - we couldn't fit all of the interview into Generation Iron 2. That's why in this extended interview I dig deeper with Kai about his past - such as being put on suicide watch ...

Kai Greene Interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger 2010 Arnold Classic
In our pilot episode of Ladies Who Lunch, we met with Kai Avent-deLeon, owner of concept store Sincerely Tommy to chat with her at Aita in Fort Greene, and talk about what she's been up to lately. Filmed by Zachary Repko
Is killing a sin? Is it?
If it is let our Lord be my Judge
If I'm above the laws of man, am I above the law of God?
I did what I had to do and now I gotta suffer the consequence
I heard a loud gunshot
Who was it? I don't really know
All I saw was this cadillac creepin' real slow
They popped him at McGregor park
And left him bleedin' on a bench
Saw a brotha rollin' off wearin' some locs
And a black trench.
Hopped in the lac right a round 12 o clock
Realised that I've saw the whole murder, so he stopped
Called me over to his window
Pulled out the glock to me, in the back seat
The windows rolled up, the doors locked
He said: I know you saw this murder that just took place
So I can't let you make it cause I know you saw my face
But I got one little proposle and that might save you G
I can kill you now or you can come and work for me
He saw me thinking so he paused and than removed his locs
Looked in his eyes
I realised he wasn't tellin' jokes
I pictured money, cars and women than my mind went DAMN!
What's my first assignment?
[Chorus:]
Shoot 'em down shoot 'em down
Commit murder for the cash
Place his body in the ground
Friend or foe I got to blast
Gunfire all around
This ain't personal, it's business
I'm bustin' everybody, family members and the witness.
He started rollin' down a dark street and took a left
I'm havin' flashes of that fool that just got shot to death
Flipped to his mansion where all my feel would soon decrease
Gave me a strap and then they fit me for a new three piece.
Spent several hours in his office runnin' down a game
Gave me a map, a brand new pager and a list of names
And plus a picture of my victim kinda looked familiar
I know this sucka, what's the deal man? He tried' to kill ya?
He said: Don't never ask me questions
Just kill the man
Complete the job by twelve o' clock
It's good for 20 grand
I understand within a week I'm quick to strike a foe
I'm pullin' moves and make Al Capone look like a hoe.
Vision the man that went shyfe during his life and done
Some shit that brought about the murder of his wife and son
I came up in the village witnessed all them gangsta hits
Needed a lick so I pulled my gun and cocked it quick
A killers life it gets rougher when he is bustin' men
Multiple massacres, murders and human suffering
Obligated to bring life loss without a consciense
Funeral services arranged over some non shit
[Chorus]
Received a call and got a name, a victim, time to spill em
His familymembers at my feet begging me not to kill him
Seven months deep, organised crime, no love in mind
The man I had to drop was in a wheelchair and blind
His wife was crying, he lost a batch[? ], trying to work his way up
But he was 30 gees behind and it was time to pay up
I never missed a hit, I had a perfect record, check it
Done witness body shot up, burned and left in kitchen's neggit
Before some reason, man, I'm feelin' kind of bad bout this one
I always think my hits so damn, it wouldn't hurt to miss one
I let him ride, but what about that thirty thousand, Black?
I say: He gave it back and paid the boss straight out my stack
Knew from the start that in this game I couldn't have a heart
All of the tactics I was taught, somehow I came up short
I told the man about my plan, I thought I left him gutless
The door flew open, I heard a voice sayin:
Man you shouldn't have done this!
It was the boss, he was testin' me to see if I
Was true to him but since I sold out it was time to die
I understood and knew the consequences of going left
Multiple gunshots to the body brought about my death!
Yeah, a little spinekiller from the mindkiller
Get with it
I can get with it
I can get with it
I can get with it [fading]
[Chorus x2]
And the witness
