Original N.W.A member MC Ren went on an rant yesterday (June 10th) over what appeared to be over a lack of personal portrayal in the film’s trailers.
His likeness, played by actor Aldis Hodge, is shown in the multiple promo videos for the film, but according to the soon-to-be 46-year-old rap legend, it wasn’t good enough.
Man f*** these bitches at universal pictures leaving me out the movie trailers tryin to rewrite history.
