"I never met any of the fans," Fresh said in a recent video explaining how a television show is in the works. "I might as well do a little tour. We don't even know if people are gonna come. I feel like it's time to pull away the curtain from the character."
The rapper formerly known as Krispy Kreme has announced a June 9 show at Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida. Support is yet to be announced, but tickets are on sale now.
Short guy anthem "The Baddest" — where Mr. Fresh speaks to celebs ("It's okay Beyonce, I think you're cute too"), lights farts on fire and rallies against guns — is arguably his most famous song, but other hits include "Dunked On," "Street Rangers," and "Best Friends."
In a new heartfelt video, Fresh explains how he dropped out of college at 19 years old to be a rapper and how he wants to be an actor. Watch that below. Head to the man's YouTube page to see more. Info on the show is available via local.cltampa.com.
