In June this year, Gibbs made his film debut in the drama Down With The King, in which he plays a successful rapper who contemplates his career path, questioning if he should become a farmer instead.

Speaking about his decision to pursue acting alongside music, the rapper told Complex in an interview last year that he’d “been trying to act probably just as long as I’ve been trying to rap”

“I just [had] never the opportunities for [the] way that I wanted. It was always hood movies, shit that I ain’t want to be in,” he added. “No disrespect to nobody [that] do that type of shit, but I just didn’t want to be in that type of shit, I wanted to be in real avant-garde, artistic type of things.”
