Keke Palmer & Drew Sidora Round Out TLC Biopic Cast With Lil’ Mama
From VIBE:
Keke Palmer has been cast as Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas in VH1’s upcoming TLC biopic. She joins both Lil Mama, who will play Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Drew Sidora, who has been cast as Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, in the made-for-TV film.
Palmer has been a fan of TLC since she can remember. The 19-year-old Chicago native got her love of singing from her mother, who was a background session singer and often took Keke and her older sister L’Oreal to the studio with her to record. “I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a singer like my mom,” says Palmer.
