15 Overshadowed Celebrity Siblings
Hollywood siblings are like The Highlander. They may share the same last name and DNA, but when it comes to the lion’s share of the fame and fortune, there can only be one.

These famous family members may very well love each other, even though we rarely see some of them photographed together. These 15 overshadowed celebrity siblings still have a ways to go before getting to the level of their brother or sister.

Janet Jackson
You don’t really realize just how ridiculously famous Michael Jackson was until you look at his fame in comparison to Janet’s. She wasn’t C-list status like LeToya or Jermaine, but despite being one of the best selling artists of the ‘80s and ‘90s, Janet is the “less-famous” sibling compared to Michael.

Ray J
Just because Ray J’s name happens to buzz in tabloid circles more than his sister doesn’t mean he hasn’t been overshadowed by big sister Brandy’s success. Between Moesha and her multiplatinum success in music, Brandy owned the ‘90s and a nice chunk of the aughts. And she did it all without a sex tape.

Khloe Kardashian
Eminem infamously called Khloe “the ugly Kardashian” because he’s heartless and enjoys trolling celebrities. She’ll probably never get that Kim Kardashian, A-list status, but between her relationship with French Montana and her impressive new cakes, Khloe’s stock is on the rise.

Charlie Murphy
Aside from cult fans who had seen Mo Better Blues and CB4, Charlie Murphy wasn’t exactly a hot commodity when compared to his brother Eddie. All that changed with one infamous episode of Chappelle’s Show.

Evan Ross
Between her roles on Girlfriends and Black-ish, Tracee Ellis Ross has pretty much solidified her legacy. But don’t sleep on her little brother Evan. He’s the random link connecting the Ross and Simpson musical families, and he’s been in ATL, The Hunger Games, and more high-profile projects.

Sommore
Before Mo’Nique laid claim to the crown, Sommore was arguably the queen of urban comedy. By now, most also know she’s Nia Long’s half-sister.

Sidra Smith
Tasha Smith is the hilarious and sassy actress from Couples Retreat, Empire, and about a dozen Tyler Perry flicks. She’s actually an identical twin, and her sister Sidra Smith holds it down on the East Coast away from the Hollywood drama. That doesn’t mean the Smith sisters aren’t down to pull a prank on Tyler Perry though.

Kidada Jones
How does Kidada Jones go from Tupac’s girlfriend to the forgotten sister? The model and designer is still doing big things behind the scenes, but thanks to an exploding acting career, her little sis Rashida is firmly entrenched as the more famous sibling.

Tahj Mowry
Back when he had the kiddie and tween markets on smash, there was a legitimate chance Tahj would be the more famous Mowry sibling. But you can’t beat twins. Mowry is still locking own roles and beefing up his acting resume, but Tia and Tamera get the majority of the family shine.

Vanessa Simmons
Much like her uncle Russell, Vanessa plays the background while her more famous siblings get all the coverage. Diggy and Angela Simmons have struck out on their own, but there’s still a chance Vanessa can keep the familial penchant for getting quiet money going.

Sandra Vergara
Seeing one family produce two sisters this fine is proof of some incredibly great genes. Sofia and Sandra Vergara may be the dopest thing to emerge from Columbia that doesn’t need to be cut with baking soda.

Tony Rock
Chris Rock casts a large shadow, and going into comedy makes it difficult to emerge from that shadow. Nevertheless, Tony Rock has made a name for himself with roles on All Of Us, Everybody Hates Chris, and The Tony Rock Project.

No Malice
There have been many debates about who was the dopest member of the Clipse. Those debates ended once No Malice began to get his life good with the man upstairs and Pusha T joined G.O.O.D. Music.
