YBF KIDS: Ice Cube’s Son O’Shea Jackson Jr. CONFIRMED To Play Him In N.W.A. Biopic ‘Straight Outta Compton’ + “The Real” RELEASES New TV Promos

Ice Cube’s son has been cast to play him in the new Ice Cube/Dr. Dre-produced NWA bio-pic.  Get the casting deets inside and see the new promos for “The Real”….

Filming is set to begin on “Straight Outta Compton”, a biopic that chronicles the rise of controversial gangsta rap group NWA.  Directed by famed Friday director F. Gary Gray, the film will be produced by original NWA members Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Eazy E’s widow Tomica Woods-Wright.

According to The Wrap, Ice Cube lobbied executives at Universal executives to hire O’Shea – despite his lack of acting experience…but young Cube still went through the audition progress.  And it seems like he nailed it!  TLAM2 director Will Packer and Cube Vision’s Matt Alvarez are also producing the project.  We love it already.  Ain’t nothing wrong with a little bit of nepotism in Black Hollywood….

And are you ready for “The Real”?  Hosts Tamar Braxton, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Bailon will have their full season debut on Monday, September 15th on the Fox Television Stations and in national syndication and we’ve got their promos. 

Nice!
