Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Rapper T.I. hopes to show off his comedy chops in the the upcoming high-profile comedy Get Hard.

The “What You Know” performer will be co-starring alongside A-List funnymen Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart.

According to Deadline.com, T.I. “will play Joaquin, Hart’s streetwise cousin who helps Hart prep Ferrell’s millionaire fraudster for prison.”

T.I. held his own in last year’s comedy smash Identity Thief, so he’s hoping lightening will strike twice.

In addition to all his acting work, he’s hard at work on his next full-length album.

“All I’ma say is, it’s gonna be a motion picture, it’s gonna be a theatrical-worthy title,” T.I. said on RapFix Live in December. “Something that will definitely seem instant classic. I’m thinking [a title] like Trap Champion, Paperwork, but whatever it is the subtitle will be ‘The Motion Picture.’ “
