<p>If there is anyone who has endless tales of Hollywood antics, it&#8217;s Eddie Murphy. The entertainment icon isn&#8217;t only known for his comedy skills and blockbusters on the silver screen; back in the day, he also released a single, &#8220;<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/318217-eddie-murphy-laughs-off-megan-thee-stallion-collab-you-know-how-crazy-i-would-look-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Party All The Time</a>.&#8221; The track featured his good friend Rick James who Murphy has woven into several strange stories of pop culture&#8217;s past.</p>



<p>Murphy has been promoting his new film <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/622512-nia-long-yung-miami-you-people-premiere" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">You People</a></em>, starring Nia Long, Lauren London, and Jonah Hill. The actor dropped by <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!</em> and shared a never-heard tale of being snowed in with James.</p>

<p>Murphy said in the mid-1980s, he and James initially scheduled a brief trip for the actor to record &#8220;Party All The Time.&#8221; It was all set for Murphy to stay at James&#8217;s home, but the weather prolonged his visit.</p>



<p>&#8220;We were snowed in for two weeks,&#8221; he said. It ended up being an unforgettable experience, with Murphy calling it &#8220;maybe the most fun I ever had.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;I was supposed to go there for like one weekend, and we got snowed in, in Buffalo,&#8221; Murphy further stated. &#8220;It was like five feet of snow.&#8221;</p>
