“Rap Sh!t,” the comedy series created by Issa Rae, will not return for Season 3 on Max.
The series followed two estranged high school friends from Miami, Shawna and Mia, who reunite to form a rap group.
In their rise to fame, Shawna and Mia found themselves at a pivotal moment in their rap career as they were forced to decide if they would stay true to themselves or conform to the demands of the music industry.
“Rap Sh!t” starred Aida Osman as “Shawna,” KaMillion as “Mia,” Jonica Booth as “Chastity,” RJ Cyler as “Lamont,” and Daniel Augustin as “Maurice.”
In a statement to Variety, Issa Rae said:
I’m so proud of and grateful for Syreeta Singleton, our cast, writers and crew that made this show possible.
Thanks to Sarah Aubrey and Suzanna Makkos for championing the show, and much love to the fans that tuned in weekly to root for our girls.
Showrunner Syreeta Singleton added:
I love this show and I am so proud of the work we’ve done.
We created something fun, raw, and original and we did it our way!
I will forever be grateful to Issa, our incredible cast, the amazing writers and crew that made this show possible.
And so grateful to Max for giving us the chance to bring ‘Rap Sh!t’ to the screen.
Fans of the show have taken to their Twitter timelines and they are livid!
Many of them pointed out how much of the Black programming is canceled on HBO Max despite being loved by viewers.
