“I mean I have good cigars, but he’s got the really good ones,” the actor said of Jay-Z — who produced Turman’s latest series with Will Smith.
“A Different World” star Glynn Turman — whose latest project is produced by Will Smith and Jay-Z — says the one great perk of being pals with the rapper is the super stogies.
“For a long time, one of the things I have always asked is ‘Why we don’t these movie stars get together and pool their money and tell stories that need to be told?'” Turman told us. “Other studios are not telling these stories. We can tell our own stories if they just come together… But Jay-Z and Will Smith did just that.”ABC via Getty Images
“I did have to check one guy,” Turman recalled to us about once defending Franklin from an overzealous fan. “This guy grabbed her leg when she was singing at Carnegie Hall. I had to come out the wings and check his ass. It was during the ’70s, and she performed at Carnegie Hall.”
