Part of the family: Actress Kadianne Whyte excited for third season of Starz's 'BMF'

“BMF,” which stands for “Black Mafia Family,” is inspired by the true story of two brothers who rose from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit in the late 1980s and gave birth to one of the most influential crime families in the history of America.

Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, is played by real-life son Demetrius Flenory Jr. and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory is played by Da’Vinchi.

The series follows the business acumen and the fraternal partnership’s vision beyond the drug trade and into the world of hip-hop would render the brothers iconic on a global level.

Their unwavering belief in family loyalty would be the cornerstone of their partnership and the crux of their eventual estrangement.

The series kicks off in the early 1990s with Meech moving to Atlanta where he hopes to build upon the BMF empire in the south .

Whyte says the new season tells the story about love, betrayal and thug-capitalism in the pursuit of “The American Dream.”

Angel, played by Whyte, first meets Meech as a dancer performing at the club.

He is instantly drawn to her for her amazing looks and the struggles that she has endured, growing up in foster care after her entire family was killed in a car crash.

He gives her confidence and together they form a strong relationship as a couple which blossoms throughout the entire season.

The series also stars Russell Hornsby, La La Anthony, Snoop Dogg, Mo’Nique and Leslie Jones, with new cast members 2 Chainz, Ne-Yo, Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones, Saweetie and Cynthia Bailey joining this season.

“What makes it amazing for me is that I grew up knowing the story,” she says. “I love projects that are documentary type of series. Knowing the story initially drew me to the project.”

Whyte says Angel is a complicated character.

“She has an air of mystery about her,” she explains. “It’s difficult for her to trust. Her upbringing was difficult and during her first meeting with Meech, he earned her trust. Angel is the type of person that makes an impact on people. She’s very talented and there’s more that goes on behind the scenes.”

Whyte says the two of them are strong-minded women.

“She’s talented and doesn’t realize it,” she says. “I also had to come from a place of figuring out what my true identity is. It’s also a lesson in not letting others or situations dim my light.”

Production took place from March through July.

Whyte says she made sure to return to herself when leaving the set.

“It’s a very heavy show and the characters have plenty of flaws,” she says. “Nobody is perfect in this series. When I would leave the set, it was important for me to get back to myself.”

Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Jamaican Chinese parents, Whyte first fell in love with dance at a young age.

After going to college for a few years to pursue a nursing degree, she decided to drop everything and move to Atlanta and take a stab at acting.

Without knowing a soul, she began taking acting lessons and soon was signed by an agent and began booking acting jobs and got her break on the series, “Greenleaf.”

She has continued working and booking roles nonstop, and has the goal of one day starring in a Marvel or epic spy film where she can showcase her martial arts skills.

In addition to acting, she is also a talented singer and is working on her first album, bringing in her Jamaican roots through an Afrobeats style of R&B.

“Since childhood, my family always told me that I was a performer,” she says. “I’ve always been creative in everything I do. As the series gets to premiere, another facet of what I do will be seen. The season is action-packed and I hope people pay attention to the turn of events that happen. It’s a pivotal season.”
