The biopic, Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story, will document the group’s rise to fame in 1992 with their debut album Ooooooohhh… On the TLC Tip and beyond.

The film stars Keke Palmer, Lil Mama and Drew Sidora and is set to air on VH1 in October.

Lil Mama will also make the leap from screen to stage, as she joins T-Boz and Chilli for a forthcoming performance at The Mixtape Festival in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The remaining members of the group reportedly asked Lil Mama to perform with them after being impressed by her performances on set. The group have been quick to make it clear that while Lil Mama will be performing with them, nobody will ever be a replacement for Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes.

Lil Mama expressed those same sentiments: “Every time I think of Lisa I think of an old woman, a grandmother who passes on and leaves a jewellery box of things she collected. The family probably fights about it, probably says don’t touch it…I feel like that with Lisa’s career. She left behind a legacy in her music and her style that people feel like, ‘don’t touch that.’ And it’s an honour to be chosen by her sisters, to say ‘hey you got it, don’t worry about what nobody else says. Make us proud.'”

TLC have also revealed that they are back in the studio working on a compilation for the autumn that will contain classic TLC tracks, remixes and new material.
