Quavo has made it clear: he’s aiming to become the most influential rapper to ever transition into film. While his on-screen career is just getting started, his confidence in leaving a lasting mark on Hollywood is unmistakable.
During a recent sit-down with TMZ, Quavo didn’t flinch when asked whether he sees himself eclipsing icons like 2Pac, Will Smith, and Queen Latifah. “I’m a great guy, yes sir,” he replied with cool assurance. Pressed further, he doubled down: “They can’t mess with me”—a bold declaration that also name-dropped Ice Cube, signaling just how seriously he views his potential in front of the camera.
Quavo is steadily building his film résumé, reuniting with John Travolta in High Rollers, the sequel to Cash Out, which also starred Kristin Davis. He’s also appeared in Savage Salvation with Robert De Niro and John Malkovich and in Praise This alongside Chloe Bailey and Druski. His next role pairs him with Billy Zane in Takeover, though a release date hasn’t been set.
Quavo’s Acting Debut: Can He Follow Hip-Hop Icons to the Big Screen?
With his signature confidence, Quavo makes a bold leap into acting in Cash Out. Since the film’s release, reactions have been mixed—while some viewers have praised his transition to the big screen, others have offered more measured feedback on both his performance and the film as a whole.
As musicians continue to transition into acting, Joey Badass shared his thoughts on some of the most successful examples of this shift. In a 2022 conversation with DJ Superstar Jay, he highlighted the talents of 2Pac, Will Smith, Ice Cube, and Method Man and also included 50 Cent. Badass himself has made his own successful transition into acting, receiving praise for his role in Power Book III: Raising Kanan, as well as his portrayal of Inspectah Deck in Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and recognition for his performance in the award-winning Mr. Robot.
Quavo’s progression in film is drawing attention, with the industry keen to see if he can turn his ambitions into reality and potentially reshape the narrative for musicians venturing into acting.
