"Bel-Air" [1] is slowly but surely proving that it's capable of existing outside of its predecessor's shadow. The reboot series [2] is the most ambitious reimagining of a '90s classic, and though it's been flipped into a drama, it still has traces of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" [3] in its DNA.

Not only does "Bel-Air" continue to make nostalgic nods to its inspiration, but it also follows in its footsteps when it comes to stellar guest appearances. From famous actors to some of our favourite rappers, "Bel-Air" is making strides to continue a beloved tradition with some star-studded cameos. Ahead, check out all the celebrities who have guest-starred on the series so far.
