Rotimi recently joined the cast of "The Chi" for its seventh season, marking a significant career shift as it's the first time he has portrayed a character that allows him to smile on screen. Known for his more intense roles, Rotimi relishes the opportunity to play a pastor, providing him with a chance to showcase a different aspect of his acting skill set. He praised Lena Waithe, the show's creator, for her supportive role in his career. Their decade-long relationship began at Sundance, eventually leading to this serendipitous casting in an entire season rather than just a few episodes. Alongside his continued success in acting, Rotimi is preparing to release a double album, "In My Heart, In My Veins," showcasing his versatility with half R&B and half Afrobeat tracks. This duality reflects his love for soulful music and his Nigerian heritage, making a bold statement about his range as an artist.
