Gmac Cash posted a photo on Instagram alongside his buddy Jimmy. The caption says: "Made It This Far By Being Me, What Ima Change For!! @jimmykimmel With The Buffs On, Detroit In The Building."

7 Action News caught up with the rapper Friday to talk about his stint in Hollywood.

“One of the best experiences I had this year. Gave me the dressing room. I wanted the whole experience, so I’m like “Do the makeup, give me the makeup, give me everything,” he said through a smile. “Whatever the actors do while (they’re on the show), I want that. And they did it. I went on there and I performed, killed it.

This is not his first time in the limelight. The rapper also went viral for his songs about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the coronavirus.
