Tyga Makes Hollywood Debut With Lead Role in ‘Baby, You’re a Star’

Tyga is expanding his creative reach beyond music as he prepares to make his feature film debut in the coming-of-age drama Baby, You’re a Star. The rapper, born Michael Ray Stevenson, will not only star in the film but also take on roles behind the scenes as a producer and co-writer, marking a major step into the film industry after more than a decade in hip-hop.

Directed by Arrad Rahgoshay, the movie will feature a diverse cast including Madison Bailey, Ashton Sanders, Mike Epps, Apollonia, Clifton Powell, Patrick Cage, and David Alan Grier. The story centers on a determined young artist navigating personal struggles in pursuit of success, a narrative that closely mirrors Tyga’s own journey in the music industry.

Described as a blend of music, nostalgia, and emotional storytelling, the film aims to capture the energy of a generation striving for cultural impact. Production is currently underway in Portland, Oregon, with the project positioning itself as both a musical drama and a character-driven story about ambition and resilience.

Tyga rose to fame with hits like “Rack City,” which reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, and continued his success with tracks such as “Taste” and “Loyal” alongside Chris Brown. While he has kept a relatively low profile musically in early 2026 following his 2025 album NSFW, this film marks a new chapter in his career as he transitions into acting and filmmaking.

Summary

Tyga is set to star in and help produce Baby, You’re a Star, a coming-of-age musical drama inspired by his own journey. The film marks his first major move into Hollywood, signaling an expansion of his career beyond music.
