Memphis Bleek claims Jay-Z Was Disappointed That He Didn’t Take “Drumline” Roll.

On a recent episode of Drink Champs, Memphis Bleek revealed several great events. One fresh disclosure he made put light on a watershed point in his career.

For the first time, the former Roc-A-Fella rapper revealed that he was first offered the main part in the 2002 film Drumline. Surprisingly, he declined, and Nick Cannon was cast instead. This part finally catapulted Nick Cannon to success, but Bleek had misgivings at the time because he want to focus on his rap career.

Bleek also revealed that his mentor at the time, JAY-Z, was upset that he declined the part. Bleek, in his own words, exclaimed, “Oh, guy. If I could go back in time — and you n-ggas don’t know this — I would never have shared this story. I declined Drumline. He wanted me to do everything, and I was terrified.” Following his open revelation, Bleek said that he had been hesitant to accept the position, despite the fact that it could have been a big career turning moment. He frankly pondered on this squandered chance, indicating how he would have chosen differently if he had realized the film’s enormous influence.
