He opens up about Hollywood's pay disparities for Black entertainers, his role in Jordan Peele's Get Out, and the unexpected turns in his career, from Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds to Bird Box with Sandra Bullock. With humor and candor, Lil Rel reflects on his personal life, from proposal antics at a Beyoncé concert to navigating the complexities of blended families. Don't miss this captivating continuation, filled with laughter, behind-the-scenes tales, and Lil Rel's unfiltered perspective on fame, friendship, and family dynamics.
