Coming To America 2 is in the works and Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall have <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/eddie-murphy-and-arsenio-hall-reunite-for-first-fittings-of-coming-to-america-2-news.76805.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">already begun</a> their fittings for the anticipated film. While fans are looking forward to the resurgence of McDowell&#8217;s, <a href="/profile/Akon" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Akon</a> included, the &#8220;Right Now&#8221; music maker advises the lead actors to make sure they cast real African stars.

&#8220;I love the fact that they&#8217;re using the Black Panther concept, because Black Panther opened up a whole other avenue for people to want to be educated more on Africa,&#8221; Akon told TMZ, referencing how Oscar-winner Ruth E. Carter is working on the wardrobe. &#8220;One thing I would recommend, though: make sure to put, and I don&#8217;t know, I haven&#8217;t seen the casting yet, but I would recommend them cast some African comedians and African actors because, in Africa, as you know, the film is huge.&#8221;
Akon further explained how not using real African actors and comedians, would be a disservice. 
&#8220;To expose some of those actors and comedians, you have to,&#8221; he added. &#8220;There&#8217;s no way you could do Coming to America without adding somebody like Michael Blackson, who&#8217;s African and one of the most funniest African comedians out there, and he&#8217;s well known in America so this is a way to really merge the two cultures together with African-Americans and Africans can really do something on a huge scale.&#8221;
