Kelly Rowland plays Lucious Lyon’s mom in Empire Season 2

Former Destiny's child singer, Kelly Rowland, will guest-star as the mother of Terrence Howard’s hard-charging label exec character Lucious Lyon in flashback scenes, according to E!.

Rowland is the latest in a string of bold-faced names joining the ratings phenomenon’s second season.

The Dilemma singer, Rowland now brings Empire one small step closer to getting Beyoncé onboard. Lucious was loosely based on Jay Z, it's only right that Bey get a cameo. Cookie could always use another sister.

Last week, Oscar-winner, Marisa Tomei signed on for a recurring role as Mimi Whiteman, a lesbian venture capitalist who becomes embroiled in Lyon family drama.

Comedian Chris Rock, R&B singer, Alicia Keys and rock star, Lenny Kravitz will all make appearances too.

Rowland’s previous acting credits include guest stints on American Dreams, The Hughleys,Single Ladies, Girlfriends and Real Husbands of Hollywood.
