Lil Jon Is Starring In a New HGTV Show Filled with Unconventional Home Renovations

The genre of home renovation shows has become increasingly popular over the last decade, makingcelebritiesout of home flippers, contractors and designers. Now, celebs are starting to step into the realm of domestic design entertainment, from A-listers making appearances on “Celebrity IOU” to even launching their own shows, as evidenced by the latest announcement out of the HGTV camp: rapper, entrepreneur, and record producer Lil Jon is getting his own show on the network.

On Tuesday, HGTV announced the greenlighting of a new series aptly (and oh-so-cleverly) titled “Lil Jon Wants to Do What?” The show, slated to debut in Summer 2021, will follow Lil Jon as he follows his passion for home renovation, teaming up with popular designer and expert builderAnitra Mecadonof DIY Network’sMega Dens.

What makes this show so amazing is that the Grammy award winner isn’t your usual home renovation expert, surprising even the homeowners that come on the show with his seemingly impossible-to-execute visions. However, with the help of his ace team, his creative dreams — which includes everything fromremoving a ceilingto expand the height of the living room to accommodate huge new windows, to fully gutting the basement and transforming it into a fully decked-out speakeasy forentertaining— become a reality.

“I love walking into someone’s house and turning it upside down,” Lil Jon said in a press release. “When people hear my name, they automatically think… fun! That same energy goes for my designs as well. I don’t love following design trends—I would rather be the trendsetter.”

Jane Latman, president, HGTV, expressed the same enthusiasm for the unexpected show. “Lil Jon Wants To Do What? is one example of upcoming shows that have all of us rubbing our hands together with excitement,” Latman said. “Who doesn’t want to see Lil Jon’s creative talent traverse the world of hip hop into the world of home renovation?”

And we say, “Yeah! Yeah!” to that.
