After years away from the music industry, Brooke Hogan is quietly preparing to relaunch her career. According to sources close to the singer, Brooke has reunited with record producer Yannique Barker — her ex-boyfriend and the son of SoBe Entertainment founder Cecile D. Barker. The two share a complicated past, but they also share a musical history. Yannique produced Brooke’s 2009 album The Redemption and appeared under his stage name, Stack$, on the track “Falling.”
Now, the pair is collaborating again. Brooke has reportedly re-signed with SoBe, with an album that’s already close to completion. She’s planning to finish the project with Barker and release it later this year. Her 2006 single “About Us” recently saw a resurgence on TikTok, reintroducing her voice to a new generation.
More importantly, her return feels like a tribute. According to sources telling TMZ, her father, Hulk Hogan, always enjoyed accompanying Brooke to the studio, and she believes he would be proud to see her embracing music once more.

Brooke’s re-entry into music follows a difficult emotional chapter. In the last two years of Hulk Hogan’s life, the father-daughter relationship grew distant. Brooke’s heartfelt tribute on Instagram clarified that their bond was complicated, but real: “My dad’s blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our blood has never broken, not even in his final moments.”
Despite her efforts to stay connected — even moving to Florida with her husband, Steven Oleksy — Brooke said it felt like “a force field” had built up around her father. In 2023, she voluntarily removed herself from his will, citing distrust of those around him and a desire to avoid posthumous legal battles. “I told him he had my support,” she wrote. “I know in my heart I did everything I could.”
Now, with twins at home and an album on the way, Brooke is focused on the future and she’s moving on, but will keep her father’s memory alive.
