I’m a Nick Cannon FAN! and I’m proud that he has been drafted to play Rick Ross on the big screen.

No, not the rhyme-spitting Ricky Rozay, but former drug trafficker “Freeway” Rick Ross.  "Freeway" Rick Ross

Cannon, who is executive-producing the film, was chosen by Ross himself for the Nick Cassavetes-directed biopic. “I chose Nick [Cannon] based on a few factors. The role is 17 to 25 in age, many of our award-winning actors are much older than that range,” Ross told Allhiphop.com, adding that he is “a guy who captures my character when I was in custody in San Diego.”

This story will be real, and show how the War on Drugs took young kids and turned them into criminals and set them for prison practically overnight,” Ross said.
