Shark B is described as, ‘the biggest star in the seven seas–flashy, awe-inspiring, and ruthlessly fun–but always 100% herself and fin-spires other fishies to do the same.’
Offset will be voicing Offshark, described as, ‘a cool fish with a great vibe and a huge Sharki fan,’ while Kulture voices Kulture Shark, ‘Offshark’s three-year-old daughter who is excited to attend Sharki’s big concert with her dad.’
