House Party

House Party is a 2023 American comedy film directed by Calmatic from a screenplay by Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover, serving as a reboot and remake of the 1990 film of the same name. It featured many cameos, including from Mya, Snoop Dogg, Tinashe, Lil Wayne, and the original duo Kid 'n Play. Kid Cudi portrays a satirized version of himself, where he helps the two protagonists get a copy of Lebron's stolen championship ring by visiting an Illuminati convention.Lang, Cady (January 13, 2023).

Tosin Cole (Damon) commented to Complex about Cudi, "I remember that he was acting so good. And I was like, 'Yo, I might have to step this up, 'cause you're not about to outshine me!' [Laughs.] I was like 'Yo Cudi, you gettin a bit too crazy bro.' He was so locked in, he was dedicated, and he was making great comedic choices. I didn't know he was that funny, do you know what I mean?" He continued, "They offered [Cudi] to be a cameo and he was like, 'Nah, I don't want to do a cameo.' Like, he wanted to do like a proper part. So someone was supposed to play his part, and then that person dropped out, then someone else was supposed to play that part, then that person was going through some things, so then that person dropped out, and then he stepped up to the plate. He bodied it."Yzola, Alana (January 13, 2023). "Kid Cudi's Last Minute Role In the New 'House Party' Reboot Shocked the Whole Cast". Complex.
The two lead stars gave compliments, where Jacob Latimore (Kevin) said, "Cudi was incredible. We made him feel more comfortable too. It was a little nerve-wracking for him, but when you get those laughs after your lines you start feeling good about what you're doing. Literally the first time we started filming we were just dying laughing." Cole added, "He was so much fun to work with. He took it so serious but he was fun to work with. He made great choices, his comic timing was impeccable. I don't think people have seen him in this light. There was time he was doing his takes and I'd be like 'That boy good.'"Saint-Louis, Tai (January 12, 2023). "'House Party' Stars Say Kid Cudi is "Incredible" in New Reboot". HipHopDX.
