\n\tWhile follower counts have been identified to help casting choices in right now\u2019s Hollywood, Spike Lee<\/a> is popping to the memes.<\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of his A24<\/a> movie Highest 2 Lowest<\/a><\/em>\u2018s Cannes premiere<\/a> subsequent month, the Oscar winner revealed he solid A$AP Rocky<\/a> within the function after seeing a meme evaluating the Grammy-nominated artist to his co-star Denzel Washington<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat\u2019s funny is that I was looking at Instagram four or five years ago and people were saying that A$AP looked like he\u2019s Denzel\u2019s son,\u201d he recalled on the 7PM in Brooklyn<\/a><\/em> podcast. \u201cI seen those memes and then in the film we used that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRocky\u2019s upcoming position alongside Washington and Ice Spice<\/a> comes after he made his on-screen debut in 2015\u2019s Dope<\/em> and most just lately starred in A24\u2019s If I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cA$AP, man, he fire,\u201d Lee praised him. \u201cI mean, there\u2019s some scenes where him and D head to head \u2013 he ain\u2019t backing up. Like, \u2018I\u2019m here too.\u2019 So very, very happy with the way the film turned out and looking forward to sharing it with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
