Drake, Quavo Praise Iconic Strip Club in ‘Magic City’ Docuseries Trailer: ‘One of the Wonders of the World’

The five-part Magic City: An American Fantasy docuseries is coming to STARZ on Aug. 15, and the premium cable network released another star-studded trailer on Monday (Aug. 4) featuring appearances from Drake, Quavo, 2 Chainz and executive producer Jermaine Dupri.

Drake, whose DreamCrew Entertainment is also on board as an executive producer, is featured raving about the famed ATL strip club, even championing it. “It’s one of the wonders of the world,” Drake says in the clip. “Magic City became this place for people to flourish, Black music to flourish.”

Quavo went as far as saying that there “wouldn’t be a Migos without Magic City,” pointing to the jiggle joint’s cultural cache around Atlanta’s hip-hop scene.

Club founder Michael “Mr. Magic” Barney, NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, Nelly and Big Boi also appear in the clip. Shaq Diesel revealed he signed his nine-figure $120 million contract with the L.A. Lakers in the ’90s while inside Magic City.

After seeing the reception to “B.O.B” inside Magic City, Big Boi recalled thinking with his Outkast partner André 3000 that they had another hit on their hands.

There’s plenty of bottles popping, money flying and dancer acrobatics showcased throughout the teaser, which will also delve into the crime that Magic City got tied up in as well, with owner Michael Barner being convicted on drug conspiracy charges, for which he served seven years in federal prison.

“Magic City: An American Fantasy is a riveting behind-the-curtain look at one of the most unique places in Black culture,” Kathryn Busby, president of original programming at STARZ, said in a statement. “The docuseries’ unprecedented insider access and history unveiled from those who built its empire is a perfect complement to STARZ’s slate of adult, culture-driving shows.”

Magic City: An American Fantasy debuted at SXSW in 2024, and the first of five episodes will premiere on STARZ come Aug. 15.
