Some of hip-hop's hottest stars are all set to make cameos in an upcoming episode of The Cleveland Show on Fox this autumn, boasting the likes of Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Questlove, for the season premiere of Menace II Secret Society. Talks about the episode, based on Illuminati in rap, first emerged last summer when Mike Henry, who voices Cleveland on the show, shed some light… "We have an episode where Kanye and will.i.am, playing himself, and Nicki Minaj, playing herself, and Bruno Mars, playing himself, and ?uestlove—they’re all part of the rap Illuminati, the secret group that controls pop culture", Henry said. According to show bosses, the superstars will all play themselves as members of the rap Illuminati. The series' executive producer Rich Appel explained more about the episode's plot stating: "Cleveland inadvertently breaks into it and then it’s how he will either bring them down or they’ll bring him down". "We have a couple of original songs with Kanye and will and Bruno, I mean, all of them, it was great”. Unlike the rest of the musical guest cast, Kanye is no stranger to appearing on the show, having appeared on a few episodes of the animation playing the voice of an up-and-coming young rapper by the name of Kenny West. The poster for the season premiere of the show 'Menace II Secret Society' debuted at the Comic Con festival, featuring cartoon versions of DJ ?uestlove, Bruno Mars, Will.i.Am, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. 'The Cleveland Show' season premiere is set to air on October 7 on Fox.
