Soulja Boy recently announced to the world that he would be remaking the 1992 film “Juice” starring as Bishop — the role that turned rapper Tupac Shakur into a movie star. And on this past Wednesday (May 11), the “Crank That” rapper appeared on MTV’s “RapFix Live” where he told Sway that he was also asked to audition for the role of Shakur in the upcoming Antoine Fuqua-directed Tupac biopic.
“I got an email from William Morris Agency — that’s my agency that I’m with — they reached out to me to play the part. I’m just still thinking about it right now. Even with the whole ‘Juice’ movie, I’m playing a part that Tupac played, but I’m not actually playin’ ‘Pac. When it comes to this, I’m actually gonna be playin’ ‘Pac, so I’m really still just thinkin’ about it. But I’m just honored that they would reach out to me and ask me anyway.”
