MGK wouldn’t mind getting more into acting… But he draws the line at certain things a role requires from him.
The Rap Devil artist appeared on a recent installment of the Pat McAfee Show, where he revealed he lost out on a role in Ryan Coogler’s latest film Sinners. The 35-year-old explained:
“I mean, there’s … been plenty of movies that come out that I’m like, ‘Ah, I was supposed to be in that.’ Or, ‘Oh, I did auditions for that.’ Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that.”

But it wasn’t because he tanked his audition… It was because he wouldn’t say the N-word! He recalled:
“The vampire — they had me set up to do the audition — it’s the one that’s in the house, so he’s the second vampire, the one that the guy comes and eats the family. In the audition, he has to say the ‘n-word’ and I wouldn’t do it.”
Peter Dreimanis ended up playing the role of Bert.

For those who don’t know, Sinners takes place in 1932 Mississippi during the Jim Crow era where language like that was unfortunately rampant. Watch the trailer (below):
