‘I didn’t get a contract, but many years later when Pitch Perfect became a huge hit, I did get an offer to play a white Missy Elliott album and I said no. Acting is for me,” she said.
Rebel also revealed during her appearance on the chat show that she plans to go off the grid following the release of her impressive memoir, Rebel Rising on Tuesday.
She said: ‘I’m probably going private for the next eight to 10 years after this because I share so much in the book.’
Referring to daughter Royce and fiancée Ramona Agruma, she added, “After this, I’m going to take Ramona and the baby to a cabin or something.”
