“You know I was in ‘Coming to America 2’. I’m in the movie. In the part of the wedding, I’m the one performing.

“It was dope to shoot. We shot it at Tyler Perry’s studio.Do you know that I was shooting with Eddie Murphy for two days and I didn’t know he was the one.

He was behind me, I will never forget.
