Cee-Lo Set to Play Raekwon’s Dad

August 03, 2011



Raekwon has cast Cee-Lo Green as his father in a movie based on Raekwon's coming of age in Staten Island. Cee-Lo will play Rae's father in the film, tentatively titled C.R.E.A.M., after the 1993 Wu Tang Clan track of the same name. "[Cee-Lo's] a good friend of mine,” Rae told XXL, adding, "he’s just one out of the greats that’s gonna be on the project.”

The Chef is considering the Cool Kids' Chuck Inglish to play his younger self, but he hasn't officially landed the role. "He’s still gotta go in for casting purposes to see if he really could make a debut in a great way,” Rae explained. He says the film's script is near-complete and that he's, "definitely going for the theaters,” with it. "There's a definitely possibility it's a Lions Gate film."
