Boots Riley teases a show starring Jharrel Jerome as a "13-foot tall Black man who lives in Oakland"
-
The rapper and Sorry to Bother You director announced he will use "live-action, practical effects" to give Jerome a boost in height for his upcoming series I’m A Virgo, which doesn't yet have a network or streaming home. "It’ll be dark, absurd, hilarious, and important," Riley tweeted, adding: "There’ll be a lot of music on this, but among it all will be one new Coup song per episode."
