“People are like, ‘We need season 3,’ and I’m like, b—h, I need season 3!” Nika added. “I haven’t paid my rent in six months.”
Nika then also appeared to suggest that Zendaya has been holding up production.
“Zendaya’s over in Paris at Fashion Week, and I’m like, ‘B—h, come home! I need you! Mama needs you,’” Nika teased.
“Y’all laughing and I’m serious,” Nika continued. “I haven’t booked nothing since Euphoria. This is some bulls–t!”
“I thought my career was on the rise after Euphoria, I thought I was good,” Nika went on. “It don’t work that way. I called Taraji [P. Henson] and she was like, ‘B—h, get used to it.’”
In a recent interview, a fellow Euphoria cast member shared some insight as to why there have been so many delays on the new season.
