Rotimi reflected on his transformative experience working alongside legends Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes in "Coming 2 America." Known for his multifaceted talents, Rotimi landed his role thanks to a viral social media character he created called Mr. Butterscotch, which caught the attention of the film’s producer. This unexpected opportunity provided him with a chance to showcase his comedic prowess in an ensemble cast featuring Teyana Taylor, James Earl Jones, and other notable stars.
Rotimi described sharing the set with Wesley Snipes as enlightening, praising Snipes’ natural talent and generous spirit. The pinnacle of his experience, however, was making Eddie Murphy laugh during an improvisational scene—a memory that solidified his comedic credibility. Portraying a villain once again, despite hoping for a different type of role, Rotimi expressed pride in contributing to this iconic film series, recognizing its cultural significance and the timeless legacy of working with such renowned figures.
