Jaden Smith to Play This Famous Rapper in Upcoming Show!

Jaden Smith is heading to TV – where he’ll be playing a younger version of Kanye West!

The 41-year-old rapper/fashion designer is developing a Showtime anthology series titled Omniverse, in which the 20-year-old singer/actor will be portraying a younger version of Kanye.

For its first season, the 30-minute series will be “examining the many doors of perception” and explore ego through the alternative reality of Kanye, THR reports.

Kanye and Jaden will both be serving as executive producers on the show along with Scooter Braun.
