    MGK claims he almost got cast in Ryan Coogler’s blockbuster hit “Sinners,” but missed out on the role because he wouldn’t say the N-word in his audition.

    The “Rap Devil” hitmaker made the admission as he discussed his desire to take his talents to the big screen on Thursday’s episode of “The Pat McAfee Show.”

    “I mean, there’s there’s been plenty of movies that come out that I’m like, ‘Ah, I was supposed to be in that.’ Or, ‘Oh, I did auditions for that.’ Like ‘Sinners,’ I was supposed to be in that,” he said, adding that he turned down the role.

    “The vampire — they had me set up to do the audition— it’s the one that’s in the house, so he’s the second vampire, the one that the guy comes and eats the family,” MGK remembered.

    “In the audition, he has to say the ‘n-word’ and I wouldn’t do it.”

    MGK was interested in auditioning for the role of Bert — a married man who eventually becomes a vampire along with his wife (Lola Kirke) after they come across dangerous vampire Remmick (played by Jack O’Connell), who they unwittingly allow into their home. The role ultimately went to Peter Dreimanis.

    Warner Bros. Discovery, the studio who produced the film, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

    Despite the missed opportunity, the rapper expressed that he still wants to test his acting chops and star in a major production — much like his ex-girlfriend, actress Megan Fox.

    “Hey, dude. I’d like to be in cinema while I still look young,” he said directly to the camera on Thursday’s episode, to which McAfee responded, “Okay. All right. That was the message to Hollywood.”

    “I would really like to be recruited into a movie while I still got some looks,” MGK, 35, said again.

    While he has “a lot of aspirations to be in movies,” the “Bad Things” musician added that so far they “just hasn’t panned out that way.”

    But he’s keeping his hopes up — “I’m on universal timing, though, so we’ll see,” he shared.

    The rapper also previously starred in the 2021 thriller “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” where he met Fox, 39, and struck up their romance.

    His previous film credits include “Bird Box,” “The Dirt” and “Project Power.”
