Nicki Minaj & Tyler Perry Come To “Cosby” Star’s Rescue, Geoffrey Owens Agrees To TV Show Offer
Hollywood actor Geoffrey Owens just did it on ’em. The current Trader Joe’s employee is reportedly gearing up to star in director Tyler Perry‘s “The Haves and the Have Nots” TV series.
According to reports, Owens has agreed to Perry’s multi-episode offer with a recurring role.
Sources familiar with the deal tell us joining Tyler is exactly what Geoffrey will do. We’re told he’s going to appear on Perry’s hit, “The Haves and the Have Nots.” Even bigger … it’s not a one shot deal. We’re told he’ll have a recurring role and appear on 10 episodes. The show — on it’s 6th season — shoots in Atlanta, and we’re told Owens will fly there next week to begin filming. (TMZ)
This week, Young Money’s Nicki Minaj announced her interest in giving Owens $25,000.
“This man is a whole f—ing legend,” the rapper said during her latest episode of Queen Radio on Beats 1. “That man is now getting so many opportunities, I personally want to donate $25,000.” Minaj also called out Karma Lawrence, the woman who took Owens’ photo at a Trader Joe’s in New Jersey where he was bagging groceries.

Earlier in the week, Nicki penned an emotional message in support of Owens after his Trader Joe’s pic went viral.
