Who can forget “Felicia” from the film, “Friday?” She was crackhead who told “Smokey” (Chris Tucker) “I need to borrow your car real quick.” After “Smokey” told her ‘no,’ “Craig” (Ice Cube) delivered his classic line that has been re-birthed and is now the go-to catchphrase for anybody working on your last damn nerve- “Bye Felicia.” She is also known for her classic “Friday” line, when she told Ice Cube, “You ain’t gottuh lie Craig.” Well, not only are y’all gonna trip out when you see what “Felicia” a.k.a. actress/comedian, Angela Means, is doing these days, but also when you see the incredible feat her now famous son has tackled.

As we previously reported in 2016, we told y’all that Angela Means’ then 20 year old son was probably on his way to being a wealthy brotha, who was becoming just as popular as his mom’s when the classic “Friday” comedy was released. Welp, that was then and this is ow…Angela can officially say that she is the VERY proud mother of the Indianapois Colts NEWSET QUARTERBACK! Yep, y’all read that right, “Felicia’s” now 22 year old son was signed to the Colts roster as a QB in December 2017! Both Angela and his pops, Brad Kaaya Sr., couldn’t be more proud.
The Indianapolis Colts…signed quarterback Brad Kaaya to the 53-man roster off of the Detroit Lions practice squad. […] Kaaya, 6-4, 215 pounds… was originally selected by the Lions in the sixth round (215th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. He participated in the team’s 2017 offseason program and training camp before being waived during final cuts on September 2. Kaaya was claimed by the Panthers off waivers the next day.

Collegiately, Kaaya started all 38 career games he played in at Miami (FL) from 2014-16 and completed 720-of-1,188 passes for 9,968 yards with 69 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. He finished his Hurricane career as the all-time passing leader in school history. As a junior in 2016, Kaaya served as the team’s starting quarterback for the third straight season and finished with a career-best 3,532 passing yards and 27 touchdowns compared to just seven interceptions. He became the first player in program history to register over 3,000 passing yards in three consecutive seasons.
During an interview, he credited his mother and father, Brad Sr. for his amazing childhood and their efforts to raise him. “My mom did anything to make my future better and my childhood better than what she had growing up in a farm with a big family, kids running everywhere, a lot of different issues,” Kaaya said.
It’s always great to see a celeb from the Old School living well and doing what they love. We’ll always remember the lasting impression “Felicia” left on us and now we’re grateful for Angela Means doing her part to help us get our health on point. Big ups to Angela and her son on a job well done! For more info on her Jackfruit Cafe, you can visit her website HERE.
