Does Lil Rel Howery look like T-Pain? Some people think so!

The comedian and actor is best known for his role as Robert Carmichael in The Carmichael Show on CBS, as well as Rod Williams in the horror film Get Out. He also recently played a role in the release of Good Burger 2.

Last week during the BMF premiere in Los Angeles, The Source caught up with Lil Rel Howery about the moment he fell with Hip-Hop, getting mistaken for T-Pain, and more!

How many times have you been mistaken for T-Pain?

Oh wow. [laughs] More than you would think actually, which is weird. Me and T laugh at it all the time, but a lot more than you think. I think we should do something together, I’ma have to put him in one of my movies with me. We sound alike too. We sound like clones, it’s so weird.

What was the moment you fell in love with Hip-Hop?

Wow, that’s a great question. Honestly, I fell in love with Hip-Hop because of the weekend. I loved Hip-Hop before that, but when I fell in love with it was when I heard “Triumph” man. One of the best group songs ever created.

What’re you most excited for being here at the BMF premiere?

The one thing I’m most excited about is seeing the new episode! It’s a cliff-hanger for me. I love the show. When I saw Meech and his friend cut them off, I want to see how my mans react to that. Is he going to do something dirty? Is he bitter about it? It’s going to be very interesting, I can’t wait to see.

What else are you working on?

We got a movie coming out. We Grown Now out coming out of April with me and Jurnee Smollett, so excited about it. Then Harold and the Purple Crayon August 2nd, it’s for families. I showed it to my family a couple weeks ago. It’s going be a big movie this summer. Children are going to absolutely love it.

Ludacris is getting ready to get back to the music. Speaking with BET, Ludacris is eyeing a formal release for 2024, at the minimum it will be an EP.

“Some music projects will be coming out next year. I don’t wanna fake, I don’t wanna stutter-step,” Ludacris said. “It’s definitely some music coming next year, but I don’t know if it’s like an EP or an LP. We’re going to figure it out.”

Why now? Ludacris says it comes as a product of living life.

“So it was just taking a step back and getting hungry again, living some life. ‘Cause when you put out music, in order for it to be organic and real, you gotta talk about what goes on in your life,” Ludacris said. “So if I had like nine consistent albums, sometimes you gotta take a step back and live some life so that you have a lot more to talk about and that’s what I was doing.

Currently, Ludacris is starring in Dashing Through the Snow. Starring Lil Rel Howery, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, and Teyonah Parris, this heartwarming tale will have you believing in the magic of Christmas.

The story revolves around Eddie Garrick, played by Ludacris, a well-intentioned man who has long abandoned the holiday spirit due to a traumatic past. At the urging of his estranged wife, Allison Garrick (Teyonah Parris), Eddie reluctantly takes his 9-year-old daughter Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum) to work with him on Christmas Eve. Little do they know that this fateful night will forever change their lives.

Their chance encounter with a mysterious man in a red suit named Nick (Lil Rel Howery) sets off a chain of events that leads to a magical adventure. Eddie, a social worker by profession, initially believes Nick is delusional and in need of professional help. However, as their journey unfolds, the true meaning of Christmas is revealed, helping Eddie rediscover the joy and wonder of the holiday season.

Lil Rel Howery Thanks Beyonce For Saving His Renaissance Tour Concert Proposal

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Comedian Lil Rel Howery got engaged this week to long-time girlfriend Dannella Lane. The venue he chose for this very special moment was the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour concert at SoFi Stadium on September 4. However, while speaking with TMZ, he revealed that things could have gone horribly wrong if not for the efforts of Beyoncé herself. Turns out that Lil Rel was waiting for “Love On Top”, as Tina Knowles has suggested it was the perfect song to propose to. In fact, Knowles made the arrangements to capture the proposal on the jumbotron.

However, the song was later in the setlist than Lil Rel was expecting and as misfortune would have it, “Love on Top” would begin playing as soon as Lil Rel reached the men’s bathroom. After doing what he needed to do, he attempted to make it back to his seat, only to realize he had gotten lost. After several minutes, with “Love on Top” (4:27 in length) still miraculously playing, Lil Rel made it back to his seat. He found his confused girlfriend waiting along with a cameraman and a slightly annoyed Beyoncé, who had been stalling for time during the song.

Beyonce Continues To Stun On Renaissance Tour

Plenty of famous faces as well as Lil Rel have been popping up on the Renaissance Tour as it travels the West Coast. Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson were a surprising celebrity spot, given that most people assumed that they had broken up after Jackson spectacularly fumbled the bag after shaming Palmer for a previous concert outfit. Guess that isn’t the case and Jackson remains perhaps the luckiest man alive.

Speaking of relationship drama, turns out that Travis Scott had some of his own. Scott recently recruited Beyoncé for “Delresto (Echoes)” on his new album UTOPIA. However, he was simply an audience member while attending one of Beyoncé’s LA shows. Turns out that Scott was in attendance at the same show as his ex, Kylie Jenner. Jenner was in attendance with her new beau, actor Timothée Chalamet. Despite this, Scott does not appear to have run into the couple. That may be for the best as UTOPIA also featured the track “Meltdown”, which explicitly contained disses against the new couple.
