Rapper Q-Tip has been tapped to star in a new upcoming film opposite Jesse Eisenberg and Danny A. Abeckaser in the new flick Holy Rollers. The independent movie, which is inspired by true events, centers around a young man from the Hasidic community who was caught importing and trafficking ecstasy into the United States.
Q-Tip will play an Ethiopian drug dealer in Holy Rollers, which is being directed by Kevin Tyler Asch and written by Antonio Macia.
This Wednesday (February 4), Q-Tip will make a high profile appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres show, where he will promote his various projects, followed by an interview with PBS’s Tavis Smiley on Thursday (February 5).
