Vince Staples has been pressuring Netflix to renew The Vince Staples Show, and now Killer Mike has thrown his support behind a second season.
The Atlanta rapper took to Instagram on Sunday (March 10) to show love to the Long Beach rapper and his acclaimed show. Ever the hustler, Mike also had somewhat of an ulterior motive.
Alongside a picture of him and Vince rocking tuxedos, Mike made his case for season two of The Vince Staples show — as well as a renewal of his own Netflix series Trigger Warning series.
The Run The Jewels rapper wrote in the caption: “@netflix we need season 2 of The @VinceStaples show and Trigger Warning with Killer Mike! [cross emoji] #MICHAEL.”
Killer Mike has made no secret that he’s a fan of The Vince Staples Show, recently heaping high praise on the comedy drama.
In response to a post on X (formerly Twitter) announcing the arrival of The Vince Staples Show, Staples asked users: “Who’s watching?” to which Mike enthusiastically wrote: “Me!”
The Grammy-winner also hailed Vince as a “genius” after a fan asked him whether the 30-year-old solicited advice from him when negotiating his deal with Netflix.
“He ain’t need my advice,” Mike said. “That N-gga a Genuine Genius! Umma friend and a fan. Cuz got this!!!!”
Fellow rap veteran N.O.R.E. also gave The Vince Staples Show his stamp of approval by boldly proclaiming it as the best TV show in the world right now.
“Vince staples got the best show on earth!!!” the Drink Champs host said on X.
Despite all of the co-signs, Netflix still hasn’t given the Summertime ’06 star a green light on season two.
Last month, the rapper-turned-actor and screenwriter tasked fans with forcing the streaming giant’s hand to expand the show’s initial five-episode run.
Replying to a fan’s complaint on X about the length of the limited series, Staples revealed that was the result of a decision made by the streaming platform.
“Netflix didn’t buy anymore episodes so make sure you hit that double thumbs up,” he wrote. “Peer pressure works and I’m tryna re up.”
