Eminem’s “BMF” episode where he portrays “White Boy Rick” has generated incredible buzz, as the rapper gets another shot at acting.
As announced early this week Eminem will appear on the upcoming Starz series “BMF.” Eminem will have the duty of portraying “White Boy Rick” on episode number 107 which will be directed by 50 Cent. Fif took to Instagram sharing the excitement. “Episode107 of BMF is crazy, I’m gonna win a award for directing again, watch its so good @eminem came out to shoot a cameo for my episode. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”
“Of course, it’s Eminem so that’s an honor to have him portray me in a series. He was actually one of the first people that was looking at doing the movie about me so it’s pretty cool that later down the line, he gets to take on this role,” Richard Wershe Jr. the real life ‘White Boy Rick’ tells TMZ. “I don’t think I have to tell him anything at all, he is a professional. Everything he does, he does very well. His music speaks for itself. He’s an icon. He’s a legend. This for him will be a small thing. I think he will kill whatever he does. I am a fan. He’s a Detroit legend. I have a huge name here (Detroit).”
