On Thursday (Dec. 14), it was confirmed that Lil Baby and Saweetie have joined the cast of “BMF” for the series’ third season. The two rappers will appear alongside the likes of 2 Chainz, Ne-Yo, Steve Harris and Cynthia Bailey in upcoming episodes, the first of which will premiere on Starz on March 1, 2024.
“I’m for the culture, you know the vibes,” said “BMF” executive producer 50 Cent on social media. “This season is fire, a little more Atlanta in it. Let’s go!”
According to Deadline, Lil Baby will play foot soldier Payne while Saweetie will play former college athlete Keeya. The official Instagram account for the show shared some screenshots of the two mid-scene. 2 Chainz and Ne-Yo, both of whom rocked unique hairstyles for their roles as Stacks and Rodney “Greeny” Green, respectively, could also be spotted in the post.
Back in September, 2 Chainz opened up about his inclusion in “BMF.” “I’m looking forward to seeing it. It was a change for me. I studied for it, I took it very seriously,” he explained in an interview with The Source. “Shout out to Meech, both of them actually. But Lil Meech helped me get through some patches, really rehearsed with me and practiced before I got on. Shout out to his acting coach, who lent a hand too. I can’t wait, I can’t wait until it comes out.”
The College Park talent continued, “I took some [acting classes] via Zoom, with [‘BMF’ executive producer and director Tasha Smith]. I took some a couple of times via Zoom. Oh, I did one in person too. I did a couple, I have. I just thought about that. I don’t want to make a fool out of myself, you know?”
