It looks like season 2 of the critically acclaimed Max original, Rap Sh!t is finally on the way. Created by Issa Rae, Rap Sh!t tells the story of friends Shawna (Aida Osman) and Mia (KaMillion) reconnecting to form a rap duo. The first season ends on a cliffhanger, with Mia and Shawna about to go on tour to support a rapper named Reina Reign (Kat Cunning). As they are celebrating at the hotel where Shawna works, a group of cops shows up at the hotel, with the intent to question Shawna. Throughout the first season, Shawna, with the help of her co-worker, Maurice (Daniel Augustin), funds her and Mia’s studio and production costs using credit card numbers of various hotel guests.
With this ending, fans were left wondering: Will Shawna go to jail? Did Maurice rat Shawna out? Will Mia be forced to hold the group down while Shawna’s locked up? Does Shawna somehow manage to get away with it all?
But first and foremost, fans are wondering when Rap Sh!t will return.
Max shared some exclusive first-look photos with Complex, who reported that Rap Sh!t “will return this summer.”
A premiere date for season 2 has not yet been announced.

The 16th Annual ADCOLOR Awards candidates and winners were revealed by ADCOLOR. The ADCOLOR Awards have recognized and celebrated the accomplishments of historically underrepresented communities in the creative industries since 2007. The “Rise Up, Reach Back” organization’s mission is embodied by those who go above and beyond to make a difference and who get the awards.
This year, a record number of nominations were submitted for ADCOLOR’s 10 categories, which included two new ones: ADCOLOR Influencer and DEI Executive of the Year. More than 50 elected judges who represented a variety of businesses, positions, levels, and backgrounds thoroughly examined each candidacy. The renowned Board of Directors of ADCOLOR and the relevant partners selected this year’s winners in non-competitive categories. The complete list of awardees and nominees is provided below.
“This year’s record number of nominations proves that even when faced with challenges, our community will still rise to the challenge of creating meaningful work that advances diversity, equity and inclusion,” said ADCOLOR Founder and President, Tiffany R. Warren. “Choosing our nominees and honorees is never an easy task, but our judges and Board members decided upon a remarkable list of individuals whose resilience and outstanding achievements will serve as an inspiration to many. We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate them at our annual awards show in November.”
Issa Rae, a writer, producer, actress, and entrepreneur, will receive the 2022 Beacon Award from ADCOLOR in collaboration with Adweek. The award recognizes notable persons who, in their pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion, challenge the status quo using their significant platforms. Rae has fought for representation throughout her career, including in shows like HBO’s Insecure and projects under her HOORAE label including A Black Lady Sketch Show, Rap Sh*t, and Sweet Life: Los Angeles. She famously demands that all of her sets be 60% diverse.
“Adweek is thrilled to be celebrating Issa Rae for her incredible work and leadership,” said Ann Marinovich, Chief Content Officer, Adweek. “From her award-winning web series Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl to her groundbreaking HBO series Insecure and now with the content she’s producing at her media company HOORAE, Issa has shattered boundaries in storytelling and representation. Her commitment to her native South L.A. has been just as important, as she has invested in the area’s revitalization and efforts to keep the Black community thriving and successful.”
The 16th Annual ADCOLOR Awards, scheduled on Sunday, November 20, at the JW Marriott LA Live in Los Angeles, CA, will honor and recognize the 2022 honorees and winners. The organization’s annual event, ADCOLOR 2022, which takes place from November 17–20, will come to a close with the live awards presentation.
