Jenji Kohan has made a very interesting road to fame and The Hollywood Reporter detailed it all in a cover story about the woman responsible for Weeds and Orange Is The New Black, according to The Source
In the feature, it is revealed that Kohan attempted to write a show featuring Busta Rhymes.
"Kohan spent the decade or so that followed toiling in the network system, stuck in an endless loop of staffing jobs (Tracey Takes On..., Gilmore Girls) and pilot scripts that went nowhere. There was the comedy about a divorce lawyer still in love with his ex-wife; a superhero show for Busta Rhymes; a Second Wives Club; and a musical rom-com," THR reports.
As noted by Spin, Busta is certainly no stranger to the superhero world. The artwork for his recent single with Eminem, "Calm Down," features Rhymes as a Hulk-sized mutant and Slim Shady in Batman-esque spandex.
He also starred as the voice of the Reptar Wagon in 1998's The Rugrats Movie and made appearance on The Boondocks, Halloween: Ressurection, and Finding Forrester, among others.
Most recently, Busta Bust was featured in Toyota's "Swagger Wagon" commercial.
Last month, the rap veteran parted ways with Cash Money Records saying, "I was there for two years and the opportunity was a great opportunity at the time, because of the type of deal that was done. For me, with this particular project and all of the sacrifice that went into it – recording the album for five years, I [lost] Chris Lighty making this album, I [lost] my father making this album – the s**t I was putting into this album, I'm not compromising my vision for it."
