Ayo Edebiri Plays Delusional British Pop Star on 'I Love LA'
A famous actress named Ayo Edebiri surprised everyone by appearing on a TV show called 'I Love LA'.
She played a funny character who is a pop star from Britain but doesn't seem very in touch with reality.
The pop star really wanted another famous person, Zendaya, to be in her music video as her mom.
When Zendaya didn't immediately say yes, the pop star's helpers tried to find bad things to say about Zendaya to make her seem like a bad person.
But it turned out Zendaya did agree to be in the video.
The funny thing is, the helper got fired for talking badly about Zendaya.
The actress playing the pop star loved playing this silly character and even wanted to try a British accent for it.
Ayo Edebiri made a surprise guest appearance on HBO's 'I Love LA' in its second episode.
Edebiri played Mimi Rush, a delusional British pop star.
The character's plot involved trying to get Zendaya to play her mother in a music video.
