World of Wonder (WOW) has shared the exclusive first look of the upcoming eight-part docu-series that follows ‘Queen of Bounce’ megastar, Big Freedia. “Big Freedia Means Business” will air exclusively on WOW Presents Plus from 3am BST on Thursday 8th June here in the UK.
Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, Co-Founders of World of Wonder:
“Big Freedia has been part of the World of Wonder family for over a decade, and watching her career evolve from world-class entertainer to industry powerhouse has filled us with endless pride. We are eager to enter this new creative chapter with “Big Freedia Means Business”, and we look forward to fans getting to see this unbelievable talent’s true stroy”
Freedia has been a pioneer in elevating the world of Bounce music into the 21st Century. A subgroup of 1980s hip-hop music, Bounce music defined much of hip-hop culture that we know and love today.
After having her music sampled by Beyoncé for “Formation”, Big Freedia was featured on “Break My Soul” from Beyoncé’s latest album, “Renaissance”, which peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. She released the critically acclaimed album “3rd Ward Bounce” on Asylum Records in 2018.
In the summer of 2019, she debuted her limited run ice cream flavour, Big Freedia’s Bouncin’ Beignets, with Ben & Jerry’s. She has graced the cover of Billboard Magazine and was the official host of Vogue Magazine’s Instagram Live stream for the Met Gala. In October 2019, Big Freedia and Kesha released their new pop single “Raising Hell”, the lead single off Kesha’s third studio album.
“Big Freedia Means Business” follows New Orleans choirboy-turned-Bounce rapper Freddie “Big Freedia” Ross, Jr., as she juggles new business ventures, touring, and the ups and downs of her personal relationships. This season Freedia begins work on opening a hotel; starts a cannabis line; prepares to launch her own beauty and fragrance lines; and more. The new series will also chronicle the launch of a new album, set to drop later this year.
Big Freedia, star of the upcoming reality series:
“World of Wonder has been so graciously involved in the telling of my life, I am beyond thrilled that the series will air on WOW Presents Plus in the UK. I’m excited to tell my story, share my hard work and for this documentary series to showcase a side of me that many won’t have had the chance to see yet.”
“Big Freedia Means Business” will air exclusively WOW Presents Plus in the UK at 3am BST from 8th June 2023.
