‘Rap Sh*t’ has been axed.
Full story on the demise of the Issa Rae-created series below…
It’s been confirmed that the music-based drama has been canceled and won’t be proceeding with a third season on the Max streaming platform.
The series, which served as Rae’s first post-‘Insecure’ series offering, followed two estranged high school friends from Miami, Shawna (Aida Osman) and Mia (KaMillion) who reunite to form a Rap group.
While Max (like most streaming services) does not publish ratings, it appears the show did not find enough of an audience to sustain.
A rep for the streamer said in a statement:
“We are extremely grateful to Issa Rae for creating Rap Sh!t, a one-of-a-kind comedy with compelling social commentary that reached viewers in a way only Issa’s talents can accomplish.
A huge thank you to Issa, showrunner Syreeta Singleton and the teams at Hoorae and 3 Arts Entertainment for introducing us to Shawna and Mia, a duo whose journey fans have been invested in and who they have continued to root for through everything. We’ll never get Seduce and Scheme out of our heads and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
With that, what are…
even Black people aint watching this crap. lol talking about embrace the Black culture.
Nnnnooooooooooooo!!!!!
cry about it.
I’m not surprised. The show wasn’t great.
It shouldn’t have had any seasons
Should’ve done another season of Insecure or a short movie. I love Issa but this weren’t it
We all saw this coming. I think the show may have worked with a different cast because this one was too unbelievable.
