‘Anchorman 2’ Spoiled: Kanye West And Drake Spotted On Set

As filming for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues wrapped up in Atlanta, and began in New Your City, some big cameo spoilers have emerged from the mediasphere.

Will Ferrell was spotted on the New York set over the weekend — but that’s not surprising since it’s been well reported Anchorman 2 would bring back the original Channel 4 News team, which aside from Ferrell, includes Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner.

What is tantalizing news, however, is that both Drake and Kanye West were also spotted on the NY set sporting ’70s-style Afros and mutton chops. It’s unclear what role either rapper will play in the comedy, but several reports suggested several big names are attached to the film.

Other guest stars include Kristen Wiig, Amy Poehler, Jim Carrey, Tina Fey, Christina Applegate, and Harrison Ford.

So, mark your calendars because all the Anchorman 2  hilarity is set to bust out in theaters on December 22.

Meanwhile, the first Anchorman 2 teaser trailer was recently released.  Besides the dialogue, it’s not much different from the one leaked last year. But if you haven’t seen it yet, check it out below.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
