We’d just about forgotten about the whole Drake X Top Boy thing. It’s been over a year since Drake bought the rights to the iconic Channel 4 show and no progress had been made, or so we thought.
Speaking to the Mirror, season one and two star, Asher D, confirmed that he had met with Drake while the rapper was in London recently to talk about the future of the show. There was initially rumours that Drake wanted to move the show to be set in Chicago, but thankfully it sounds like that’s no longer the case.
In an unexpected turn of events, Asher D also seemed to confirm that Drake would not only produce the show but also take on a starring role. “We met up to start talking about the show and we are working out a role for him. He loves acting, of course he wanted a part. He’s going to be really hands on and is getting stuck into it.
This is mad! We can’t wait to see what character Drizz will be bringing to the Summerhouse estate. There’s currently no word on who else, including co-star Kano, will appear on the third instalment of the show.
