![Boo’d Up: Ludacris Throws ‘Fab’ Birthday Bash For Eudoxie… [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ludcris-FAB-Birthday-Party-10-520x547.jpg)
Chris Tucker has disappointed many a fan during his appearance a few days ago on The Tom Joyner Morning Show.
The “A” list comedian/actor hit up Joyner’s morning radio show last Friday and denied he’ll be participating in “Last Friday,” the highly anticipated final “Friday” sequel.
In earlier reports, Ice Cube hinted that Chris was on board, although he admitted that nothing was final until Chris showed up on set.
Tucker spoke to Joyner and his crew about his issues with Uncle Sam as well as his desire to return ot stand-up comedy, but when asked about the Friday sequel, Tucker says he doesn’t think ‘it would be as special’ to do another one.

Watch Chris’ TJMS interview below…
At about the 9:00 mark, Tucker begins talking about how everyone had heard “on the internet” about him doing another Friday film.
His answer? “We’ll see what happens… but I doubt it.”
Tucker’s net worth is reportedly NEGATIVE $11.5 million (due to his extensive IRS debt), so clearly this is all about the Benjamins. So it’s my educated guess that Tucker is either demanding an outrageous fortune to appear in the film, which clearly wouldn’t be a big studio production… or he sincerely feels he outgrown the character.
But who knows, maybe this is all a ploy to keep us on pins & needles!
Lord knows Friday wouldn’t be “Friday” without Smokey, but if Single Ladies can survive with Stacey Dash, I guess anything’s possible.
Are you disappointed or still hopeful?

He should do the movie. Ice Cube movies always make money and he could promote other projects while doing red carpet and press junkets. He is not as big as he used to be. Articles and publications still refer to him as "Rush Hour star Chris Tucker", Rush Hour was how many years ago? Do the movie Chris.
WEAK CHRIS WEAK! That is sooooo messed up! I will be so upset if he decides not to do it. Isn’t some money better than no money!?
What does he have to lose though, like he is in need of money so whats the big deal?
I didn’t really hear a denial. Maybe I’m missing something..
I wish he would just do it for the fans… he’s broke anyway, broker than me lol *shrugs*
Sounds like he’s focused on a Rush Hour sequel primarily…..Perhaps he believes that RH would be a bigger payday…..THEN he might be able to do a Friday Sequel for more $$. If he does Friday 1st and it flops, the RH opportunity is probably gone.
He really didn’t confirm or deny.
I dont blame him. He’s still bitter at Cube from the first Friday. He tried to pay him with cd’s and posters Chris didnt make no money off Friday.
He didn’t make to much money off of the first friday, I didn’t know that. Also Chris is waiting for one more RH to give himself a boost. No matter what Chris is talking, he’s full of it. He’s scared as hell at going to prison like Wesley Snipes for that money he owes.

Next Fridays sucked after the first one anyway. All the sequels were a bit extra because they wanted to be funnier than the first. I think he has really outgrown the character. I had read somewhere that he didn’t want to do because he is not into the cursing, the behavior, etc. that made the character smokey and if his calling is against that, I see why he would push for another RH and stand-up. Some people change. Growth is a wonderful thing. If he was so worried about the IRS he would been jumped on this.
he is weak for not doing it but he is old as hell now,they all old
CHILE CHEESE!! Chris needs to quit frontin like his broke ass don’t need this check! I understand that we all grow and evolve over time, but the truth of the matter is….that ass is gonna be sittin in jail soon if he dont pay his debt off! UNCLE SAM DONT PLAY! SOOOOOOO…..if you need some money, and somebody is offering you a job….the choice is quite obvious to me! just sayin!
Chris now runs in different circles and is an avid Christian, thecomplete opposite from who Smokey was. So I understand…but lets be honest I ain’t trying to watch nannother Friday with out him!!! The others were lame. And I think if Chris repents for a full 3 months after and before this film is made we can get one last hurrah outta him!!!! Lol
Basically he saying CUBE better pay him….Ice don’t like to pay the boy can’t work for free….I hope they work it out because I LOVE SMOKEEEEEEEEY
I didn’t either hear a denial, but what I get from this is Chris is looking for where the $$ at, and Friday may not be where it is at. Rush Hour from what I’ve seen it a $$ maker. But hey well know if Craig and DaDa is the only stars in the Sequel. It would be nice to see in it, but Chris wants to get IRS off his back..lol
maybe people should stop asking Chris Tucker to another Friday movie. He has moved on in his career to do major studio films, why would he want to step back, and do another stereoypical black hood movie? Did anyone ever thought that he wants to do films, his son can watch? Did anyone ever think that he has convictions, and feel that Friday is a step back, and that it isn’t appropriate movie anymore? Let the man grow, and move on to something else.So, what if he continues to do, Rush Hour movies; it’s probably makes sense business-wise to do a RH movie than Friday movie. I’d say, CT should follow the path that makes him happy, and his tax problems will be sorted out. He didn’t seem afraid in the interview. And sometimes people feel they rather have morals than be immoral for money. Friday movies serve no purpose but embrace negative stereotypes of black people. Smokey was funny, but who wants to see another smoked-out, 40+ weed head, with no job or aspirations,and to top it off he’s black. Black folks should be tired of those images , even if they are funny.
Chris Tucker is 40 years old! Its not a good look to do another Friday film at that age. NObody wants to see a 40 year old Smokey still unemployed, still getting high, still sitting on his friend’s porch and still running from the neighborhood goon. Rush Hour would be a better step to take.
You just seem completely negative my question would be who gives a f*ck ! its a damn good classic movie full of stereotypes which actually do exist in a predominately black neighborhood unless your one of those sell out black people who look pass them acting like you better than anybody, 40 50 years old weed doesnt have a age restriction, when actually alot of old people uses it for medical reasons, speaking on age in hollywood half of them lie about there age! so its all hollywood if they want to make another friday its there money and alot of dedicated fans well watch make 100million in box office
them* will*
now really chris just the mention of a new friday gave u some air time…. ur broke jackie chan is old and no one wants to hear ur kackling voice…u should be kissing cube’s feet 4 even giving u this 5 mins of fame again …really lets be honest what else do u have going on NOTHING!!!!!!
I hope he does not do it he is not funny anymore. All we need is DADA
It should be craig getting married..money mike vs pinky who could throw the best bachlor party…. since DEEBO locked up for this Charlie Murphy should play the thug image they’ll be lookin for…..that should play well against DAMON….AND!!!! Kevin Hart should be Regina Kings husband that just hate DAY DAY ….PERFECT!!! And Chris Tucker should b the pastor a
t the wedding
I just don’t understand why all this buzz over him being in the movie…I think he should bring someone younger in to play a similar role to Smokey’s if Chris Tucker as playing. it can still be a funny movie. I know Chris was a comedian before Friday came along, but at the end of the day…No one had really heard of him until FRIDAY came out. It’s sad that people forget what got them to the status they are at…He’s practically washed upped now so he need to do the Last Friday movie before he ends up fleeing the country like Wesley Snipes did…lol…I’m just saying.
