Princess Meeka (KiKi Layne) is far more suitable for the position of heir than Lavelle, but tradition dictates that Zamunda can only be ruled by men. After spending so long fighting outdated traditions and the will of his father Jaffe (James Earl Jones), Coming 2 America sees Akeem come to represent everything he once despised.
But with General Izzi (Wesley Snipes), the leader of Nextdoria and older brother of Akeem's former intended bride, Imani, plotting Akeem's downfall and preparing to strike, now is not an ideal time for the king to lose the love of those closest to him, including his wife Queen Lisa (Shari Headley).
