The hit biopic centers on the true story of the rise of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube's hip-hop group, N.W.A.
One person who wants to cash in on the film's success is Ice Cube's "Next Friday" costar, "The African King of Comedy," Michael Blackson.

Blackson has since acted in a string of unmemorable TV shows and movies, but he tours the country as a stand-up comedian and has an impressive 693,000 Instagram followers and 639,000 Twitter followers.
On Tuesday, Blackson posted a photo of the measly residual check he still receives for his scene in "Next Friday" and jokingly asked Ice Cube to put his newfound "Straight Outta Compton" money towards another "Friday" sequel he could star in.
Blackson wrote in the photo's caption:
"Damn #IceCube ya made $60mil over the weekend with #StraightOutOfCompton so take some of that money and let's make #LastFriday and tell Warner brothers to stop sending me this $14 checks it cost $10 to cash it by the time I buy gas I'm negative $11. Can ya tag that neega n tell him to help his African broda."
Blackson's fans appreciated his humor:
