Nika King’s got a bone to pick, and she’s doing it with a side-splitting stand-up routine that has us rolling on the floor laughing.
You know her as Leslie, Rue’s mom on Euphoria, but in this comedy set, she’s serving up truths hotter than a fresh batch of fries. Nika’s not just ready for season three of Euphoria; she’s practically begging for it because, let’s face it, her bank account is drier than a desert in a drought.
In a clip that’s gone viral faster than you can say “binge-watch,” Nika declares, “Don’t ask me about season 3. I don’t f–king know. Don’t ask me, I don’t know!” And can we blame her? She’s not just waiting for the drama; she’s waiting for her paycheck!
“I need season 3!” Nika exclaims. “I haven’t paid my rent in six months. My landlord’s probably out there sharpening his pitchfork.”
But the plot thickens when Nika hints that Zendaya’s jet-setting escapades might be holding up the show. “Zendaya’s off gallivanting in Paris for Fashion Week, and I’m here like, ‘Girl, come back! Mama needs you!'” Talk about priorities, right?
And if you think Nika’s just playing for laughs, think again. “Y’all laughing, and I’m serious,” she insists. “I haven’t booked anything since Euphoria. This is some bulls–t!” We feel you, Nika. Hollywood’s a fickle mistress.
But Nika’s not one to wallow in self-pity. Nope, she’s seeking sage advice from the wise Taraji P. Henson, who, let’s be real, knows a thing or two about the industry. “I thought my career was on the rise after Euphoria,” Nika laments. “I thought I was good.” Cue Taraji’s reality check: “B—h, get used to it.” Ah, the harsh truths of Tinseltown!
So, as we eagerly await season three of Euphoria, spare a thought for poor Nika, holding out for her big break and maybe a rent check or two. After all, laughter may be the best medicine, but it doesn’t pay the bills – unless you’re a comedian, that is!
