Damson Idris served some hot tea in his latest interview with Complex, as their March 2023 digital cover star.
The most interesting serving being how billionaire Jay-Z helped Idris work in America.
We may have to thank Mr. Carter for allowing us to see Franklin on our TV screens.

The Rumor Was Actually True…
The interviewer, Speedy, asked the British actor if the rumor was true that the New York rapper helped him get his green card.
At first, the London native was caught off guard that the Queens native knew about that. Even questioning if he mentioned the green card situation to Speedy prior (that’s good journalism people and props to Speedy).
Imagine Having Jay-Z As A Reference?
Idris disclosed the rap mogul was used as a reference for an important document that gives permanent residency in the United States.
He laughed when asked if Jay offered up sponsorship. Then responded saying, “Hov didn’t offer that up. I had to ask him.”
The Rap Mogul “Definitely A Pioneer Of The Culture”
The Snowfall actor went on to shower Shawn Carter with praise for the many things he’s done for Damson Idris over the years.
In addition, the 31-year-old mentioned the billionaire always supports him.
“He supports everyone. He supports so many people that you don’t even know,” Idris told journalist Speedy.
The Swarm actor made sure he told everyone that if you run into the rap mogul say thank you.
Idris noted Shawn Carter is ‘definitely a pioneer of the culture.”
Damson Idris considers Jay-Z to be a “big brother,” but never told him how much of an idol he is.
Lori Harvey’s romantic interest concludes with a simple thank you to Hov for helping him.
Jay And Meek Help 21 Savage When He Was Detained
One of the biggest gestures from Jay-Z being him and Meek Mill helping 21 Savage.
21 was massively grateful and allegedly aware that Jay wouldn’t just help anybody.
The U.K. rapper called Meek while he was detained, who then called Carter.
Furthermore, Bey’s husband reportedly put a lawyer on 21 Savage’s case.
The mogul has his hands in a lot of pots, but it is nice to know he is still looking out for people.
