From Usher to Ray J, These Are All the Stars Who Appeared on Moesha Over the Years

First up on Moesha's all-star list of guests is Usher himself, who appeared on the show between 1997 and 1999 as Moesha's love interest Jeremy Davis. The singer's acting debut, he guest-starred in four episodes, and even sang "You Remind Me" to the protagonist.

Guest-starring on the episode "Paying the Piper" in 2001, Lil' Kim played the girlfriend of Dorian's prison friend who tries to take some of his band's profits. We'll never forget the pioneering rapper's role, even among so many other events occurring in the episode (such as a misplaced pregnancy test)

We still can't get over the fact that Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer guest-starred in Moesha, but it just proves how amazing the 90s sitcom is. Appearing in the 1998 episode "Teacher," Spencer plays the role of Gloria Eckhart, a friend of Moesha's parents who attends a school-related function at their home. Hinting to some kind of previous relationship with Moesha's dad Frank, Spencer is absolutely hilarious in this episode.

Another Oscar-winner to add to Moesha's celebrity guest-star list, Jamie Foxx took the role of Hakim's cousin Woody, a car insurance salesman with a few unusual tricks up his sleeve. Appearing in the 1996 episode "Driving Miss Moesha," the unconventional Woody tries to sell Moesha's family car insurance for her new Jeep Wrangler, with hilarious consequences.

Kobe Bryant's appearance on Moesha is one of the most incredible stories tied to the sitcom. As a budding basketball star still in high school, Bryant asked Brandy to his senior prom– and unbelievably, she said yes. Four months later, he appeared on the Moesha episode "The Whistle Blower" as a high school basketball star named Terry Hightower who asks for Moesha's help on the SAT's.

In 1999, powerhouse singer LeAnn Rimes appeared on the Moesha episode "Ohmigod, Fanatic," starring as herself. In the episode, MTV's "FANatic" picks Moesha to go with best friend Kim to meet Rimes. Once there, the country singer offers wise advice to both of them.

Before he was Bow Wow, he was Lil' Bow Wow, and one of the first times we got to see the rapper was on Moesha. Starring in the 2001 episode "That's My Mama," he played the role of Dorian's little brother Ray. Wildly entertaining, the episode centres on Dorian as he attempts to babysit his rebellious siblings.

Every time we think we've gotten to the top of Moesha's guest-star spread, we are surprised once again. The poet, writer, activist and all around legend Maya Angelou appeared on the 1999 episode "Fired Up" as herself. Moesha pulls a sneaky move to interview Dr. Angelou at Vibe Magazine's offices, talking to her about the meaning of life, talent, recognition, and by the end, the importance of college.
