Illbliss and Reminisce are the first Nigerian rappers to feature in a movie but the former is not willing to be put in a box.
Illbliss, during an interview with Pulse, said he has received between 16 and 20 scripts but is not willing to accept any.
He further revealed that they were all for similar roles like the one he played in King of Boys but he is not willing to be forced into a box with regard to his acting career.
He also revealed that he was scared when he first got his role in King of Boys and almost didn’t play the role.

His word: “I have about 16-20 scripts now, they are all Odogu Malay archetype, they want to put me in that box, No, I want dynamism. Thank God for King of Boys.”
“Kemi [Adetiba] called me in September 2017 that she had a role for me, I said I wasn’t doing, I didn’t want to act cos I was scared, I have seen a lot of people try to make that transition from music to television and when it fails the media will crucify you. Kemi made us relax, she just eased us into our roles, she kinda of broke that the barriers of are we going to do well.”
