Watch Dave East Make His Acting Debut On BET's 'Being Mary Jane'

Dave East has entered the next level of rap stardom, acting. The Harlem MC makes an appearance on BET’s Being Mary Jane.

Fresh off the success of his well-received mixtape Kairi Chanel, an XXL Freshman spot and a new deal with Def Jam Records, Dave East is ready for another close-up.

In a clip promoting the new season of BET’s Being Mary Jane, East is seen playing himself, a new rapper on the rise who isn’t quite used to being interviewed on a national television show. He appears in the scene rapping a verse from his 2015 song “KD” and then doing an interview with the Mary Jane character played by Gabrielle Union, who also happens to be a fan of East in real life.
