During that period, Ice Cube was scouting for talents to appear in his directorial debut, The Player Club, and used the opportunity to tell Wilson about it. She was explicitly told that the movie would revolve around Atlanta strip clubs, and she was all for it.
Chrystale later went for the audition, and that was how she scored the role of Ronnie in the movie.
