In his brief time on screen, Lamar's Laces attempted to sell Kanan (played by 50 Cent) stolen gift cards. Later on he was given a gun to sell on illegally. The short stint on screen led Lamar's label, TDE, to dub him "Kenzel Washington" on Twitter. Who knows? Perhaps he can add an Emmy to his Pulitzer Prize.
