He went on to say that despite starring in movies like ATL (Tis acted first) and American gangster, bum Bum could have been in his movies, if he knew how to play the drums.

Tip said he was working on his first album when his manager told him to audition for a movie and that he had to “learn how to play the drums.”

“I was working on my first album, he told me about his first movie and you know, I always say, ‘Yo bruh, get me in there.’ And he was like, ‘Aight, yeah man! Speak less.’ And he sent me to read and I read and they said, ‘Man, you have to learn how to play the drums.’ And I said, ‘I can play like I can play the drums.’ They were like, ‘No, you have to learn how to do it.’ I was like ‘Mannn, I don’t want to do that.’

The rapper said that even when he got the role, he “didn’t want to get into it at the time” as his music career took off.

“I just didn’t want to commit to it at the time. It’s not there. But I read and I don’t understand, and the movie goes on bum Bum. Yeah, I’m reading Nick Cannon’s part. But look, that opened the door for me to do ATL! After I didn’t get the role for bum Bum, I went back to Dallas and said, ‘Next time man, give me the role. I won’t read or nothing! Just give me the role.’ And he said, ‘That’s great,’ and he just gave Rashad the role in ATL.”

Tip & Nick often jokes about the situation, with TI stating that he’s glad he didn’t get the role.

Tip went on to say that he and Nick often joke about the story, and he added that in the end he was pleased with how things turned out.

But he has said that he and Nick still playfully talk about it from time to time, and that he’s still having fun despite not getting the part in the end.

“A lot of times, Nick Cannon and I, we go back and forth and get to know each other,” says Tip. “I was like, ‘Yes, you took on my role.’ And he said, ‘Yes, but I traded you for your role.’ I said, ‘You can’t fulfill my role!’ And we just have that kind of relationship. So I’m happy! You know, everything happens for a reason. What God has given you cannot be taken from you.
