Rapper 'to star in sitcom'

Dizzee Rascal could star in a sitcom about his own life, according to reports today.

The Sun says that the rapper has been in talks with Inbetweeners writers Damon Beesley and Iain Morris for a show already being dubbed the UK equivalent of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

An unnamed source told the paper: ‘Damon and Iain like the idea of making a funny show about a rapper. Dizzee is a big personality with loads of charisma and the writers think he would be the ideal subject for the show.’
