By Josh Haggis
US rapper Lil’ Romeo is set to star in upcoming urban stripper film Chocolate City.
The rapper and former Nickelodeon star – real name Romeo Miller – will play the role of Devin, a student who becomes a stripper in order to pay his college bills, reports Deadline.
Supermodel/former Attitude cover star Tyson Beckford and actor Michael Jai White (Why Did I Get Married?, Tyson) are set to star alongside Miller in the film.
Miller, 24, has released three solo albums during his recording career, and currently holds the record for being the youngest person ever to hit Number One on the Billboard 200 albums chart – a record that was previously held by the late Michael Jackson.
His previous acting credits include a role alongside Jessica Alba in the 2003 film Honey, and his own Nickelodeon show titled Romeo!, which came to an end in 2006 after a three-season run.
Meanwhile, a trailer for Magic Mike and True Blood star Joe Manganiello’s upcoming male stripper documentary La Bare was released earlier this week – check it out here.
