Getty Images Kid Cudi has announced that he will star as famed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in “Jean,” a film that he also wrote and directed.
The musician made the announcement on social media, posting images of himself in character and revealing that the film will begin shooting in 2027. “For years people have asked me about playing Jean Michel Basquiat in a film,” he wrote. “But no project actually came to be. This year, I finally said fuck it, ima write it myself. Did a wardrobe test, got a wig made (this isnt the final just a rough, trust me we gon get it perfect). But I wanted to tease what we been cooking a bit.”
