Rapper Bow Wow has been learning Japanese for his new movie Fast + The Furious: Tokyo Drift.

The teenager's character in the sequel leads a street racing team in Japan and learns to speak the language, so Bow Wow decided to follow suit.

He says, "There's some lines in there that I have to actually speak Japanese and I gotta kinda do it fluently."

"On the days that we shoot that I have to speak Japanese my tutor is on the set. She preps me before I go into the scene."
