Vince Staples turned to fans for marketing ideas for Season 2 of The Vince Staples Show — and, in classic Vince fashion, hilariously roasted almost every suggestion that came his way.
On Friday, the Long Beach rapper and Netflix creator hopped on X to ask fans how they’d like the new season to be promoted, keeping things as candid as ever.
“I have a marketing meeting for Season 2 of the show on Monday. How do y’all want to be marketed to?” Staples tweeted.
Fans quickly flooded the replies with suggestions, but Staples turned the whole thread into a comedy show. When one fan proposed branded rolling papers as promo, he shot back with a straight-faced quip: “If you plan to get high in honor of the show, crack is the minimum.”
Another user suggested releasing behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers, to which Vince joked, “BTS is just me in the rain holding coffee, but I do like the idea of bloopers.”
When a fan suggested making and handing out bootleg T-shirts to promote the series, Vince shot back, “If we catch anybody bootlegging merchandise, we sending you to Uncle Charles,” referencing Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s emotional hit “Tha Crossroads.”
Another fan’s idea to release DVDs of the show actually got a more reflective response. Vince agreed that physical media still matters, writing, “We have to keep physical media alive because one day, the white people will tell us Living Single didn’t exist.”
After roasting enough fan ideas to rival a writers’ room, Staples wrapped things up with a joke about his team’s next move: “Welp, interviews it is.” Then, just to make sure no one took him too seriously, he added, “That was sarcasm.”
Season 2 of The Vince Staples Show premieres November 6 on Netflix. According to Deadline, the upcoming episodes follow Vince on a “wild journey in search of inner peace” after a tragic death turns his world upside down. Vanessa Bell Calloway and Naté Jones reprise their roles, while comedian Zack Fox joins the cast as a guest star.
Loosely inspired by Vince’s own life, the series blends comedy, surrealism, violence, and his signature deadpan humor. In an interview with Netflix’s Tudum, Vince hinted that the show reflects the unpredictability of real life: “Next for Vince is literally anything because anything could happen at any moment. That’s just how life works.”
