I am slightly excited about this announcement. On one hand, “True to the Game,” one of the urban section’s bestsellers will be depicted on film, which is a good thing (I guess); and on the other hand I am thinking will it be as good as the read; especially with Draya Michele cast as one of the leads?

The reality star and swimsuit designer has taken to social media to deliver the news of her role in the anticipated film, as Cherelle, Quadir’s ex.

In case you were off playing tic-tac-toe in high school, “True to the Game” by Teri Woods-other pieces are True to the Game 2 & 3, B-More Careful, and Dutch 1, 2 and 3-is described as following:

It’s the late 1980s, and Gena, a young girl from the projects, meets Quadir, a millionaire drug dealer, and falls madly in love. Quadir builds a massive empire while fighting his rivals and enemies. Gena faces the challenges of holding onto her man, her house, her car, and the cash. Both of them find themselves caught up in a vicious yet seductive world, and learn that success in this game is no easy win. Gena and Quadir also learnthat once you’re in, there’s no way out, ’cause everyone stays in forever….True.
