“It is important to me that Barbershop does more than entertain,” says Ice Cube, who stars in and produced Barbershop: The Next Cut.
“Along with comedy, the story touches on relationships and gang
violence. This partnership with VH1 is the perfect way to expand this
conversation.”
The two rappers will be joined by VH1 personality Sway
and are scheduled to lead a dialogue with Chicago college students and
organizers about gun violence, artistic expression, relationships and
the importance of barbershops to community activism, among other
topics.
In addition to the discussion, the
program will also feature segments in which the actors visit a Chicago
barbershop and other locations on the city’s South Side in order to
discuss challenges of living in the Illinois city.
Fellow Barbershop: The Next Cut co-stars Eve, Nicki Minaj, Anthony Anderson, Cedric The Entertainer, Deon Cole and Regina Hall, as well as Vic Mensa, are among those who also appear in Behind The Movie: "Exploring Chicago with the Cast of 'Barbershop: The Next Cut.’”
Barbershop: The Next Cut is due in theaters April 15.
