So Exciting:

GETTY
Sierra McClain is joining one of the hottest casts on television! The singer and actress just scored a recurring role on the hit Fox series, Empire.
Sierra "will play Nessa, Shine's (new series regular Xzibit) loyal protΓ©gΓ© who, upon first glance, is merely a timid follower to Lucious' former partner in crime. A second listen, however, reveals she is a rare talent with a killer voice whom Lucious (Terrence Howard) is determined to sign to Empire's roster," The Hollywood Reporter revealed.
The star and her sisters Lauryn and China freaked out on Twitter after the news broke by sharing their overwhelming show of support.
