While he is being inducted in the recording category, the Flipmode Squad frontman also has a decorated acting career which he is set to rekindle.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Busta has secured a role in the upcoming Naked Gun reboot, rounding out an all-star cast that includes Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Michael Hauser and Kevin Durand.

Deadline reported that the 52-year-old has signed on to the film in an as-yet-undisclosed role.

It will mark Busta’s first movie role in almost a decade, with his last big screen appearance coming in 2016’s King of the Dancehall opposite Nick Cannon.
