Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Jason’s Lyric”

- By

Whatever happened to Lisa Nicole Carson?

Remember Lyric’s hood, yet super sensitive and romantic friend, “Marti”? When Lyric told her about Jason washing her feet, Marti, who was dating Lyric’s brother, “Alonzo,” said “I would love for a ni**a to wash these feet!” Between her romantic nature and those absolutely outrageous hair styles, Marti was a supporting character we couldn’t forget. Then shortly after, Lisa Nicole Carson, went on to play the best friend to Nia Long in Love Jones. After that Carson kind of disappeared.

A few years ago, BET caught up with Carson to see what she’d been up to. This is what she had to say.

“Well I did take a break from acting although I have been seeing everything on Broadway and most of the stuff on off Broadway. And I’ve been reading scripts from time to time and keeping my acting chops as fluid as I can possibly keep them, but mostly I’ve been working on my singing and my songwriting. I write songs so it’s something that I want to get out there and share with the world and let them see that part of me that’s deeply personal but extremely valid. Let’s hope. You know this business is crazy but I’m going to give it all I got.”
