| Riff Raff Responds to ‘Spring Breakers’ Controversy |
| By SM - 01-22-2013, 09:14 AM - Boxden > The Hip-Hop Spot ![]() Last week, XXL interviewed Gucci Mane about his role in the upcoming film ‘Spring Breakers.’ When asked to speak on rumors that James Franco’s character in the film was based on Houston rapper Riff Raff, Gucci shot down the claim,[..]erting ‘That’s absolutely false.” Franco issued similar statements in an interview with GQ last May, stating that the character’s biggest influence came from a Florida rapper named Dangerous. To make the situation even more unclear, Riff has been seen with the film’s director, Harmony Korine, on several occasions since the rumors began circulating, even recently appearing together on the cover of SNEEZE magazine. Over the weekend, we reached out to Riff Raff to get his thoughts on Gucci’s recent remarks. He responded via text with the following statement and photographs: “YOU CANT BE A WHiTE RAPPER WiTH TATTOOS AND HAVE BRAiDS AND COLORED BEADS WiTH COLORFUL CLOTHES & BE SURROUNDED BY WHiTE GiRLS iN NEON BiKiNis & AN ALiEN TATTOO ON YOUR ARM & GOLD JEWERLY & GOLD GRiLL iN YOUR MOUTH AND NOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO RECOGNiZE RiFF RAFF ……….. THATS LiKE SAYiNG iF YOU SEEN A THiN LiGHT SKiNNED DUDE WiTH A PERFECT JERRY CURL iN A RED & BLACK LEATHER JACKET, A WHiTE GLOVE, AND PATENT LEATHER SHOES MOONWALKiNG BACKWARDS BUT NOT EXPECT FOLKS TO RECOGNiZE MiCHAEL JACKSON HAHAHAHAHA. *Court Adjourned…Closes Versace Briefcase and rides Segway to the parking lot with 15 tan golden bronze white girls in bikinis and gets in the Hologram Benz with Harmony Korine” Riff Raff Responds to ‘Spring Breakers’ Controversy | XXL |

| From a James Franco interview with GQ: GQ Eye: With regards to your character in the movie, the rapper Riff Raff has said the role you are playing was originally meant for him. Is that true? James Franco: None of that's true. I'll tell you why he could have never been offered the role. Harmony (Korine, the movie's writer and director) and I were talking about doing a movie together before Spring Breakers was even conceived. I had been a fan of his work and he wanted to do something and I said, "I'll do anything with you." We started discussing ideas and one day he sent me a treatment, which he said he's never done before, just to run it by me. And it was this idea of these girls going on spring break and then they meet up with this guy who leads them into the dark side. And then he wrote the script. So there's no chance Riff Raff could have been offered the role. Of course Harmony and I looked at some of Riff Raff's videos as inspiration, but he was one of a number of people we looked at. I would say the biggest influence on the role was this local Florida rapper named Dangerous. He's fairly unknown, but he was down there in the place, living the life, and he became the biggest model for me and he's in the movie. GQ Eye: So Riff Raff never sent you some of his clothes to wear like he said? James Franco: No, never. But if he still wants to send me clothes, he can.
