Wanna be a rich black immigrant come to America and make stuff about blacks who are here and love you some zaddy
Sorry but if I were to buy into HBO MAX I’d rather see what’s up with those new Looney Tunes shorts or even that Close Enough series after what felt like an eternity of waiting instead of giving a minute of my time to what looks like an extremely cookie cutter plot… I’m not much a fan of Boondocks but I’m almost positive the reboot will run laps around this fake woke project but can’t hate on Rae hustle tho
Comedy and Rap….so original
Be more creative…
so this is like a female version of Atlanta… Issa, you are better than this …
