Speaking to VIBE about his character appearance, Ne-Yo noted that he isn’t a fan of the lace front, but since he wanted viewers to see someone other than Ne-Yo in the series, he is alright with that.
According to the three-time Grammy winner, joining the BMF cast has been smooth sailing, but taking the role of a drug dealer was a challenge, in comparison to the lighter roles he has had in the past.
Ne-Yo has made appearances in a few films and small screen roles such as the BET+ TV movie, Hip-Hop Family Christmas, Hip-Hop Family Christmas Wedding, The Sound of Christmas, Girls Trip, The Wiz Live, Empire, The Mindy Project, Red Tails, Stomp The Yard, Save The Last Dance 2, Step Up: High Water and more.
The music artiste and actor took the opportunity to express his appreciation to everyone who embraced him when he began the BMF journey. He revealed that the cast, as well as everyone involved, made the entire process smooth for him to easily delve into the character and give it his best.
BMF’s Season 3 premiered on March 1, 2024, on Starz at 8 PM ET and is currently available on the Starz app and Starz.com.
