Some of hip-hop's hottest stars are
all set to make cameos in an upcoming episode of The Cleveland Show on Fox this
autumn, boasting the likes of Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and
Questlove, for the season premiere of Menace II Secret Society.
Talks about the episode, based on
Illuminati in rap, first emerged last summer when Mike Henry, who voices Cleveland on the show, shed some light…
"We have an episode where Kanye
and will.i.am, playing himself, and Nicki Minaj, playing herself, and Bruno
Mars, playing himself, and ?uestlove—they’re all part of the rap Illuminati,
the secret group that controls pop culture", Henry
said.
According to show bosses, the
superstars will all play themselves as members of the rap Illuminati.
The series' executive producer Rich Appel explained more about the
episode's plot stating:
"Cleveland inadvertently breaks
into it and then it’s how he will either bring them down or they’ll bring him
down". "We have a couple of original songs with Kanye and will and
Bruno, I mean, all of them, it was great”.
Unlike the rest of the musical guest
cast, Kanye is no stranger to
appearing on the show, having appeared on a few episodes of the animation
playing the voice of an up-and-coming young rapper by the name of Kenny West.
The poster for the season premiere
of the show 'Menace II Secret Society' debuted at the Comic Con festival,
featuring cartoon versions of DJ ?uestlove, Bruno Mars, Will.i.Am, Kanye
West and Nicki Minaj.
