Choice and Best Collaboration for “Kiss Kiss”
as well as Best Male R&B Artist. The BET
Awards will air June 24th.
Rapper/actor Mos Def will star in the upcoming
movie Mama Black Widow, which is based on
the 1969 novel of the same name by writer Robert
“Iceberg Slim” Beck.
Mama
Black Widow, which will also feature R&B
songbird Rihanna in her big screen debut, tells
the story of a black family’s migration from the
Southern Mississippi field, to Chicago in the
1930’s.
The 1969
novel was a graphic tale about the character Otis
Tilson, of a black homosexual "queen," growing up
black, gay and poor in Chicago in 1946.
The movie,
which is currently in pre-production, is being
directed by Darren Grant and also stars singer
