So the @drafthousesf #ComingToAmericaMovieParty was a bit wack 🙄. No #SoulGlo or good Merch like the other Draft House parties. Womp womp. Still got to watch it on the big screen & wear this my birthday shirt to celebrate on my own lol! Thanks Iglesias Fam! @airchino @marieiglesias. Tomorrow is gonna be even more ridiculous 😂. #ComingToAmericaMonth #ComingToAmerica #ComingToAmerica30 #ComingToAmericaAlwaysWithMe #ootd (at Alamo Drafthouse San Francisco)

Flew solo to @littledragonflicks & @flyinglotus today. Being at big shows like that by myself without shooting was kind of a bummer but couldn’t miss it. Well I was KINDA solo 😂. #AtLeastAkeemWasWithMe! #ComingToAmerica #ComingToAmerica30 #ComingToAmericaMonth #ComingToAmericaAlwaysWithMe 😂 (at Oakland, California)

Day 12 of #ComingToAmericaMonth & today’s post goes to @vanessabellcalloway. In my mind and maybe even this supposed upcoming Part 2, we’ll see her still hopping around cause Akeem never told her to stop lol. Also #EddieMurphy Breaking of the 4th wall is one of my favorite moments. He’s telling us in his eyes “Look at this bitch!” 😂. Breaking 4th walls is my favorite in film as well as #JohnLandis as it’s sort of a favorite of his to do in his movies too! #ComingToAmerica #ComingToAmerica30 #EddieMurphy

Today’s post is a life lesson from King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda, on Day 11 of #ComingToAmericaMonth. “Get out, see the world. Enjoy yourself. Fulfill every erotic desire.” I think of this every time I tell someone to take that trip, to do that thing they might be worried about doing and being judged for, and just live your damn life. ❤️☺️ #ComingToAmerica30 #EddieMurphy @ArsenioHall #JamesEarlJones #KingJaffeJoffer #ComingToAmerica

The face you make (and maybe add some tears) on Day 10 of #ComingToAmericaMonth when you find out that @drafthousesf is having a #ComingToAmerica Movie Party they posted about 15 hours ago and now it’s SOLD OUT 😩😩😩. I feel so fucking left out and sad. I’m gonna call them in the morning and pray for a miracle 😔. #ComingToAmerica30 #EddieMurphy

Slippin and forgot to do Day 8 of #ComingToAmericaMonth post. If you’re a die hard fan like me you know this but #JamesEarlJones & #MadgeSinclair King Jaffe & Queen Aoleon, also voiced King Mufasa & Queen Sarabi from #TheLionKing! They have the most regal voices so it’s only natural. It’s also being said that James is coming back at King Mufasa in the Live action Lion King coming out but unfortunately Madge Sinclair passed away in 1995 😔. #ComingToAmerica #ComingToAmerica30

Day 7 of #ComingToAmericaMonth At the end of this scene Clarence says #JoeLouis was 137 years old lol. Fun fact, when Joe Louis and #RockyMarciano actually fought Joe Lewis was actually 37 and Rocky ended him. The whole real story about why Louis had to take the fight in the 1st place is pretty sad, look it up. I always wondered if them saying that Louis was 137 was on purpose in the writing or were they just Old Black men in the Barbershop exaggerating lol. #ComingToAmerica30 #EddieMurphy #TheBrownBomber

Day 6 of #ComingToAmericaMonth goes to @SamuelLJackson. #ComingToAmerica was his one of his first speaking roles and now we have the great Sam Jack, the greatest muthafucka who says muthafucka the GREATEST in everything! Another CTA blessing ☺️! #ComingToAmerica30 #EddieMurphy #SamuelLJackson

Re-Reading this 30 Year Old @ebonymagazine cause it’s Day 5 of #ComingToAmericaMonth! I actually haven’t read the article from this since @nomadicnoire found this for me 6 years ago (Thanks Fred ☺️). One of the main things I take away from Coming to America is it was really one of the first movies that I felt had that fairy tale ending I’ve seen so many times in other movies but in THIS one the people all looked like ME! He’s been recognizing Black Excellence! ❤️ #ComingToAmerica30 #ComingToAmerica #EddieMurphy

On Day 4 of #ComingToAmericaMonth @boxkev got me the flyest sleep mask on Earth 😂. Gotta love my friends who supremely support my obsession 😂. Hey @vanessabellcalloway! I’m bout to have Champagne wishes & Coming to America dreamsss! Lol #ComingToAmerica #EddieMurphy #ComingToAmerica30

[yesitskatia]

A little late but Day 3 of #ComingToAmericaMonth. When Eddie gave y’all titties! I know hella dudes who rewinded this part of the movie over and over and over again 😂😂😂. S/O to #VictoriaDillard tho. I think her flawless smooth execution coming out of water without being out of breath saying “The Royal Penis is clean your highness” got her poppin in movies in the 90’s! #ComingToAmerica #EddieMurphy #ComingToAmerica30
