Nipsey Hussle nearly starred in All Eyez on Me (via toofab)
Filmmaker Benny Boom said the rapper was supposed to star in the biopic about"Nipsey was supposed to play Snoop... we wanted him to play Snoop in 'All Eyez On Me'," Boom said. "We didn't have any other person that we wanted to play him."Boom said because of Nipsey's busy music and touring schedule, as well as his dedication to community work, they couldn't get the timing to work.
"It's crazy because I didn't realize, as much as I knew Nipsey — I didn't realize how much he was driving things in his community," the filmmaker said. "And to take him out of LA for that amount of time that we needed to come to Atlanta where we shot, would've just threw him off his square a little bit. Just the timing didn't work out.""I'm definitely upset, cause Nipsey was my guy," Boom added.
In the series Demetrius Shipp Jr, who portrayed 2pac in "All Eyez On Me", plays a Crenshaw gang leader, having been introduced to the producers via Boom. While Nipsey sadly never got to act on the show, his real life storyline will be introduced in the upcoming second season. "From what I'm hearing from the writers, this season, there's going to be a lot of Nipsey stuff in there," Boom added.
