Upscale Magazine Introduces 'Queen Sugar's' New Star KOFI SIRIBOE

Summer may quickly be slipping away, but the season is just starting to heat up thanks to upcoming television and film premieres from entertainment’s newest heartthrob and man-crush, Kofi Siriboe. This month, the 22-year Los Angeles native boldly covers Upscale’s Best of the Best issue swathed in show-stopping looks from Italian fashion-house Etro.

During the exclusive shoot in Atlanta, Siriboe told Senior Editor, Satchel B. Jester:

“”I’ve always wanted to reach beyond just entertaining, with an overall goal of being reflective and introspective in everything I attempt.”

He also acknowledges his newfound “bae” status and says:

“I was a little chubby boy that was homeschooled, so I was a bit different.  I never did prom and those things. I always laid low, but now, I’m getting used to it!”

Evident by his premiere magazine cover, September is a huge month for the primetime maverick who made his debut in the highly anticipated OWN Drama Queen Sugar, originating the role of “Ralph Angel Bordelon” that aired on September 6^th & 7th, and he will be playing the male supporting lead of “Flaco” in the urban coming-of-age film Kicks, which makes its debut on September 9^th.

Siriboe’s past credits include; Toronto film festival favorite 40, Academy Award winning film Whiplash, and a heavily recurring role as “Tyler Miller” on MTV‘s teen comedy hit Awkward.
