Collins and co-starring Tip “T.I.” Harris. Mike will produce the
film under his NapTown productions along with Queen Latifah, Shakim

the BET Hip-Hop Awards from 2009-2012. He’ll continue comedic
hosting duties this fall with Shaq’s Comedy All-Stars set to air on

Since 2000, Epps steadily climbed his way up the stand-up comedy ranks
when he was recognized by a national audience in 1995 for appearing on
HBO’s Def Comedy Jam (which, years later, he would go on to
host). During a performance at LA’s Comedy Store, Epps caught the
attention of Ice Cube. This led to the first of three feature films
they would do together: the cult hits “Next Friday,” "Friday after
Next," and “All About the Benjamins.”

“Hancock,” “Lottery Ticket,” “Next Day Air,” “Roll
