From making YouTube videos to producing a television show to now launching her very own Prosecco brand, it's safe to say that Issa Rae can do basically everything. But can she handle our homemade super-sour candy, the “Delish Special?"
We invited the star of Awkward Black Girl and Insecure to the Delish office to reveal some of her juiciest secrets and play Suck It Up—the sweetest (and sourest) game of Never Have I Ever on the internet. The rules are simple: For every thing she has done, Rae needs to eat an increasingly sour piece of candy.
Actors across Hollywood are guilty of snatching souvenirs from set. And even though Rae has had access to some of the coolest props (the ones from Barbie were wild!), she has never stolen anything from work, she says. Many of her projects have been her own productions, but she promises to start stealing stuff while working on films in the future.
Rae also has had a star-studded list of co-stars, from Bette Midler to Ryan Gosling to Kumail Nanjiani. But there's only one celebrity that she has bragged about working with: Regina Hall. Rae worked with the iconic actress on the 2019 film Little, and she would come home every day after shooting to share all the funny things Hall said on set.
In the video, Rae also reveals one of her biggest pet peeves. And if you saw that viral video of her CultureCon interview, you can probably guess what it is.
