The co-stars were also joined by Sydney Mitchell who plays Lawanda in the show, as well as special guest star 2 Chainz, whose character Stacks will have a recurring role this season.
2 Chainz shared “I am from Atlanta. I was here during the whole BMF invasion. I know Lil Meech’s father so it was cool to get this call from 50 [Cent] and get an opportunity to play a role in this.”
