We first met Serayah McNeill, known by her single-name moniker Serayah, as pop star princess Tiana in Lee Daniels’ critically-acclaimed series
Empire. Now, the “Mr. Lover” singer has been carving out her lane in the industry with new music, a new style, and even a few new roles, including the recently announced confirmation of her part in 50 Cent’s “Black Family Mafia” alongside Lala Anthony and Snoop Dogg.
Before McNeill takes on the role of Demetrius Flenory’s girlfriend and mother of his child Lori Walker, she’s making her Lifetime debut as the lead in
Envy, which premieres on the women’s channel tonight. We caught up with the 25-year-old to chat about “Black Mafia Family,” her creative process in front of and behind the camera, and upcoming projects.
