Raising
Kanan
continues
to
tell
the
origin
story
of
fan-favorite
character
Kanan
Stark
(MeKai
Curtis),
originally
played
by
50
Cent
in
the
flagship
series.
This
third
season
delves
further
into
his
evolution
from
the
devoted
son
of
Raquel
“Raq”
Thomas
(Patina
Miller)
into
the
eventual
ferocious,
amoral,
and
pragmatic
personality
fans
know.
**Spoilers
ahead**
During
the
series
premiere,
viewers
met
Ronnie
(Grantham
Coleman),
the
unsettling
older
brother
of
Unique
(Joey
Bada$$).
Ronnie
is
newly
released
from
jail
and
he’s
already
causing
turmoil
for
his
little
brother’s
life
by
popping
up
at
his
house
unexpectedly
with
a
dark
aura
in
tow.

“I
think
you
see
where
Nique
gets
it
from,
where
he
gets
that
commanding,
that
leadership,”
Coleman
told
BOSSIP’s
Managing
Editor
Dani
Canada.
“Ronnie,
we
like
to
say
that
he’s
amoral,
rather
than
him
being
immoral,
Ronnie,
he
understands
right
and
wrong–Ronnie
doesn’t
rock
in
the
right
role.”
As
far
as
Unique,
in
addition
to
the
stress
of
having
his
brother
back
in
his
life,
he’s
exploring
a
new
connection
with
his
nemesis-turned-lover,
Raq,
and
wondering
if
he
can
trust
her.
The
two
have
always
had
undeniable
chemistry
despite
previously
being
enemies
and
after
Unique
saved
Raq’s
life,
their
relationship
has
reached
new
(smithereens
smashing)
heights.
“I
don’t
think
trust
is
the
word,”
Bada$$
told
Managing
Editor
Dani
Canada
about
Unique
and
Raq’s
hooking
up
this
season.
“I’d
say
that
it’s
definitely
connection,
there’s
a
connectivity
that
wasn’t
there
before.
I
feel
like
these
two
characters,
it’s
a
Kingpin
and
Queenpin,
there
can’t
be
much
trust
between
them.
I
think
Raq
has
every
right
to
think
in
the
back
of
her
mind,
like
‘Why
is
he
doing
this?’”
he
added.
“And
I
think
Unique
has
every
right
to
be
like
in
his
mind,
‘Why
is
she
doing
this?
It’s
almost
on
some
Mr.
&
Mrs.
Smith
type
s***t,
where
maybe
we
wanna
engage
but,
I
can’t
let
my
guard
fully
down.”
“There’s
always
been
a
chemistry
between
these
two
characters
that’s
been
undeniable
despite
what
the
history’s
been,
I
mean
listen,
he
did
just
save
her
life.
Whatever
weak
spot
there
might
have
been
for
him,
just
got
pried
open.”
