Zoe Taylor · Jul 25, 2018

Coming off the back of his Australian tour including an insane performance at this year's Splendour in the Grass, Kendrick Lamar is proving there's nothing he can't do as he makes his acting debut this Sunday, July 29th. This week's episode of 'Power' on Starz - where 50 Cent is one of the main characters - will feature Kung Fu Kenny as his debut into fictional acting.

Executive producer Mark Canton said that “Kendrick is a once-in-a-generation talent and [series creator] Courtney [A. Kemp], 50, and I felt it would be exciting to create a role for him in 'Power.' Everyone involved is thrilled to have him join the family.”

The episode that the Pulitzer-prize winning performer will perform in is titled 'Happy Birthday' and according to TV Line it will see “the St. Patricks gathered to celebrate Tariq’s first birthday since Raina’s death. Tasha, meanwhile, finds a shoulder to cry on in Terry Silver; Ghost begins acting reckless after learning that Dre is ready to replace him in the legitimate world; and Kanan and Tariq bond over their shared mistrust of Ghost.”
