She Ball, which has been nearly four years in the making, will be released via Birdman’s Cash Money Films and stars Nick Cannon and Chris Brown, along with Cedric the Entertainer, DC Young Fly, Evan Ross, and Faizon Love. The film tells the story of a young female athlete, played by Melody Rae Kandil, who defies the odds on and off the basketball court.
“
She Ball is about community, and the inclusive nature of controlling your own background,” said Cannon. “It’s a story that doesn’t have any boundaries. It’s a sports movie, it’s a love story, and it’s a comedy.”

Relocating to the United States from Nigeria, Dayo (Abraham Attah) finds himself simultaneously balancing the culture shock of immigration with the growing pains of being a college freshman.
