The STARZ network announced a “special guest” is coming to the 50 Cent-produced drama Power via Twitter over the weekend. It turns out that special guest is Kendrick Lamar, who is making his acting debut.
According to Deadline, the episode — titled “Happy Birthday” — is scheduled to air on Sunday (July 29), but details surrounding K. Dot’s role are scarce.
“Kendrick is a once in a generation talent and Courtney, 50 and I felt it would be exciting to create a role for him in Power,” executive producer Mark Canton told Deadline. “Everyone involved is thrilled to have him join the family.”
The Grammy Award-winning MC made history in April when he was given the Pulitzer Prize for his work on DAMN. It marked the first time the coveted award had ever been given to a Hip Hop artist.
Power is now in its fifth season and airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
King mfing kendrick!!!!!!
Good for K-Dot but Power has fallen off severely in my opinion. The writers are trying to do too much at once. Slow it down some.
Power is the exact same story repeated season after season. They kill their connect, ghost and Tasha break up, and Valdez hides evidence to protect ghost/Tommy. Every season. Gomorrah is a much better show these days.
Now you know damn well tat ain’t true Ghost and Tasha broke up once and haven’t been really together since, Valdez only found out about Ghost like last season and her cover up is pretty much tied to 1 or 2 instances, and considering this show is based on some gangsta shit people were always going to die. Stop hating
Will Kendrick Lamar and The Top Dawg camp be on that Hop Beef 4 documentary 50 cents and Floyd Mayweather kicking off ? I still can’t get over how Kendrick Lamar rep. At the Grammys for Hip Hop Culture si would Top Dawg records use the Hip Hop Beef 4 doc. Platform to Decus issues they feel strongly about like how hip hop losing money ?
Crackhead James?
