Other cast members including Corey Hawkins, who plays Dr. Dre, and Jason Mitchell (Eazy-E) were also in attendance.
TDE’s Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock repped Compton on the carpet, while The Game and Common grabbed a seat inside the theater to watch the F. Gary Gray-directed film.
“Proud night for #Compton #LosAngeles & the world,” said Game, while Common added, “Straight Outta Compton movie lets you see NWA as one of the Greatest and Most important groups Ever! It made me wanna write. #history made.”
Monday’s premiere also brought out Dwyane Wade and wife Gabrielle Union, Sevyn Streeter, Tyrese, Xzibit, and former One Direction member Zayn Malik.
